...there are no signs of a shift in Washington's policy of nonrecognition. It is a policy, as its critics never tire of pointing out, that contains a measure of absurdity by pretending that China is actually governed by Taiwan.

As a child, Elliott was always anxious to please and quick to apologize when he imagined he had done wrong. When his father would tire after tossing the boy in the air and catching him, little Elliott would say, "I sorry, Daddy," throw his arms around his father and give him a conciliatory kiss. At the height of World War II, when Elliott was 51, Goldstein was drafted into the Army. He promptly fractured...
