...decision, though, to market The Wine Is Bitter as a "footnote to history" rather than a frank memoir was unfortunate. In this light, the author's homey quotations at the opening of the arbitrary chapters ("Compromise is less a sacrifice of principle than an admission of fallibility") seem absurd; and the important documentary of Dr. Eisenhower's personal involvement in the Tractors for Freedom Committee disappears as another inessential anecdore. To call the work political science is to misrepresent it. It is more accurately the saga of an American diplomat whose yankee charm shows clearly through his narrative's numberless...
Rapid-American's boss is still a crafty operator who dazzles potential investors with complicated "chalk talks" in which he sketches his financial plans on a blackboard. He often puts off opponents during negotiations by conferring with his associates in Hebrew, likes to voice homey parables. He lives with his wife and three children in a lavish home on Long Island, where his special joys are a pump-powered waterfall and a library that contains more electronic gear than books.

The long-honored concept of the neighborhood school-a homey place that children can walk to, a living symbol of local pride and progress-seems in danger...
...small, grey Quebec villages, political meetings have a clannish, almost family atmosphere. Réal Caouette, 45, strides down the center aisle, chatting, shaking hands. A small, bespectacled man, he speaks rapidly in French Canadian patois, his jokes homey and telling. At meeting's end, as party workers pass cardboard ice cream containers for campaign contributions, he says to his audience of stubble-chinned farmers and somber-faced workmen: "Give if you can, but don't be shy if you can't. And if you really need some money, take...
