There is a scene which shows tons of photos, news clippings, bits of papers with info all over the place and they are connected with strings making a big web. I have a feeling that is sort of like what Mueller's offices look like. I don't know how he keeps track of it all.

anything related to adverse Soviet scientific activities (the bomb) I believe. Nash's thinking- his mind was driving the behavior.
For Mueller and staff the unfolding Russia story and investigation must be challenging, but they're well trained for the kind of serious work they perform. And it is becoming more layered over time, to say the least!

The book and awarded film, 'A Beautiful Mind' called attention to Nash's illness and his mathematical genius for which he received the Nobel award for 'Game Theory' later in life when in recovery.
In 2015, when Nash and his wife were killed in a tragic auto accident, it left his son, John, in his 50s, all alone. He is also a talented PhD scientist and a person with schizophrenia. A truly human, complex story. The father, Nash Jr. was brought up and educated in Bluefield, WVa. before going on to teach at Princeton, etc.
