Publisher's Synopsis
This is a record of conversations which explored such topics as the elusive nature of Jewishness, observations on the virtues of friendship, the use and abuse of money, and the defects of the medical profession.;Lord Goodman discloses to Selbourne the nature of his political and moral beliefs, his views upon Germany and the Germans, his attitudes to women and his revulsion at the conduct of much of today's media.;Taken together, these conversations provide a multi-faceted view of a remarkable man at the age of 80: eminent lawyer, bon vivant, counsellor and benefactor of the arts. There also emerges the portrait of a diffident, private individual to whom life is a matter of "killing time", given to intense speculation about the ways of the world.
