"A local arms race can only lead to local wars, as the Middle East so clearly illustrates," she said...

...sister Kathie, and his innate dishonesty easily overcomes the commonplace virtue of his stuffy brother Richard. Within a few hours he parlays both into a $20,000 offer with more to come as he needs it. Having made his point, Charlie unconvincingly spurns the money. On this framework, Author (The Trouble of One House) and New Yorker Critic Brendan Gill hangs a morality tale. It boils down to the adage that appearances are deceiving. Charlie, with all his faults, has the courage to look coolly and calmly at Life. Richard, despite all his probity, is frightened of Truth. When Charlie...
