The Shape of the Data

The chapter The Shape of the Data refers to two stories once again; the first, explains Elena's report to the Costa Rican Government, and the second introduces a women named Alice Levin at the office of Dr. Richard Stone.

Plot
Despite the terror that Elena Morales had seen the night that the newborn child was born, she had not reported the cause of death, in fear of being critisized. Back in Stone's office at Columbia University, a women named Alice Levin looked at the drawing that Tina Bowman had made and called it a dinosaur. Stone, of course, called that claim rediculous and absurd, yet Levin demanded something be done to ensure that it wasn't a dinosaur. Stone said that despite her request, he would do nothing at all.
