HH: Do you know who Alger Hiss is?
ZC: No.
HH: You don’t?
ZC: Nope.
HH: Then it’s only a two-part, then you automatically don’t get past the second one, because the second part of the ritual is to ask whether or not you thought he was a Soviet spy.
ZC: Well, I’ll go ahead and say that if I had known who he was, yeah, yeah, sure, I would think he was a Soviet spy.
HH: But you don’t think it’s important, well, I’ll leave that aside. Number two, number three, have you read The Looming Tower?
ZC: No, I’ve not read The Looming Tower.
HH: All right, now these questions are more germane to why I’m calling you.
ZC: Okay.
HH: Have you read Dick Cheney’s memoir?
ZC: I have not read Dick Cheney’s memoir. I generally, as a matter of principle, I try to avoid books written by politicians and focus more on books about politicians.
HH: So have you read Peter Baker’s Days Of Fire?
ZC: Nope.
HH: Rajiv Chandrasekaran’s The Emerald City?
ZC: Oh, yeah.
HH: Okay, that’s good. That’s one. Dexter Filkin’s The Never Ending War?
ZC: No, but I’ve read a lot of the stuff that he’s written for The New Yorker.
HH: And I assume you didn’t read George W. Bush’s memoir, either?
ZC: No, no, no, or Bill Clinton’s, or the recent Hillary Clinton book, either.
