Women are so dreadfully difficult to understand. How is a man to know at what time it is considerate toward them to conceal his true feelings; and at what time it is equally considerate to express his true feelings? One doesn't know whether it is a matter of days or weeks or months--there ought to be a law to settle it. Dear Miss Charlotte, when a poor fellow loves you at first sight, as he has never loved any other woman, and when he is tormented by the fear that some other man may be preferred to him, can't you forgive him if he lets out the truth a little too soon?" He ventured, as he put that very downright question, to take her hand. "It really isn't my fault," he said, simply. "My heart is so full of you I can talk of nothing else."To Percy's delight, the first experimental pressure of his hand, far from being resented, was softly returned. Charlotte looked at him again, with a new resolution in her face.

美国与反共主义：论美国对社会主义国家的意识形态外交
本书从美国特有的民族文化背景谈起，探索美国人为何对共产主义意识形态和社会主义国家采取如此敌对的态度，美国政治文化为何同马克思主义格格不入。本书还纵论美国在冷战期间和冷战结束之后的反共主义如何表现在其对社会主义国家的外交政策之中，指出美国在国家利益受到严重威胁时，意识形态的诉求会让于实际利益的考虑；在国力强盛的状态下，在对手的意识形态诉求也十分强烈的情况下，则在外交中强化意识形态色彩。
