The CBS television series Criminal Minds<\/em> regularly closes with some quotation or other that supplies insight, or makes a point, relevant to the theme of the story that\u2019s just concluded. \u00a0It gives the quotation and then the name of the quotation\u2019s author. \u00a0No more. \u00a0Nothing is said about the author beyond his or her name.<\/p>\n
