Books, Arts & Manners: Sausage Meets Grinder

How to Win Arguments By William A. Rusher

Doubleday, 208 pp., $10.95 There is probably a plucky fellow in Altoona, Pa. who thinks it would be fun to argue with William Rusher. Poor fellow. He may one day get his chance, for the peripatetic Rusher has been known to go to the corners of the earth for a good forensic scrap. (You thought the earth was round, novice? Rusher makes no a priori concessions.) Indeed, to read Rusher’s lambent new book, How to Win Arguments, is to review the accumulated wisdom of a life of contention.
