...concrete and detailed peace plan calling on Israel to withdraw from the occupied territory in return for what he regards as substantial security arrangements. These proposals, which the Egyptians are billing as "a new peace initiative," have an undisguised dual purpose. They just might succeed in breaking the log jam that has stalled the peace process.

Lying is permissable, because no one will ever know the difference if you can effectively fake it. Make pronouncements about everyghing. Wear a log of preppie clothes; Locoste shirts and khaki pants are recommended. Topsiders are passe. Scoff at naive enthusiasm with a knowing, sardonic grin. Categorically refust to be excited or amused by anything with a knowing, sardonic grin. Categorically rufuse to be excited or amused by anything except yourself. Potential hazard: everyone...
