"A highly civilized, lively and provocative exchange between interesting people of diverse backgrounds and positions... A very fine example of a first-rate mind taking great pains to deal carefully, clearly and methodically with perennial problems of the utmost significance."--Saul Smilansky, Times Literary Supplement "As always, Thomson's writing is clear, crisp, and direct."--Choice
