When irish Eyes are Smilin'

Richard Vigilante was in town to promote George Gilder's latest, The Israel Test (Richard Vigilante Books). We had drinks at the Cipriani bar in Grand Central.

Rich, who is both an old NR-nik and an old friend, is one of the people who knows almost everyone mentioned in Right Time, Right Place, which he said he enjoyed, though not as much as his wife Susan (nee Tunney).

"Italians are said to be good at getting even; the Irish say, The hell with that, let's get mad" (p. 138).
