Columnists Joseph and Stewart Alsop played a parlor game with their readers. Like many another occasional reader of history, they had been struck by the ominous political parallels between the war of two ancient states and today's struggle between the U.S. and Russia.

Yaleman Stewart is scholarly, quiet; Harvardman Joe, aggressive, facile, gregarious, steers the team. The brothers soak up information incessantly at interviews (upwards of 40 a week), at Joe's lavish parties in his cinder-block-and-glass house in Georgetown, or by legwork around the globe. (Each spends at least part of the year abroad...
