In an expected non-turn of events, Tom Menino was reelected mayor last week. In a somewhat less expected turn of his knee, Menino fell down while at his son's house over the weekend.

Whether socially awkward shut-ins or evil geniuses bent on world conquest, the popular imagination has taken a rather dim and confused look at real people doing interesting work. And really, is there much to see behind the white coats, anyway?
