Three Days of the Condor: twin towers, oil, 2-layer CIA, Sterling Hayden,

[rich]

the book is better which i think is called Seven Days of the Condor though
the movie is good, too. not to put too much of a stretch on it but how many
folks saved their lives by popping out for coffee before the planes hit
like Redford does in the movie. My sister's co-worker/friend has to this
day saved the muffin he bought that morning instead of heading to the
office directly like he usually did every morning. amazing...
