...trials specifically for ASP. Fonagy claims intensive psychotherapy and parent training can help. But researchers say that signs of ASP often show up by age four or five, and that if the behavior is not caught and dealt with before adolescence, there's little hope of making significant change.

But neither pretender could put an interviewee off balance like the Firing Line host, who at last week's taping leaned in to one of his guests, the liberal New York City politician Mark Green, and said, "You've been on the show close to 100 times over the years. Tell me, Mark, have you learned anything...
