Conrad had gotten his ambassadorship by being a big bundler and raising a lot of money for the previous president. He reminded Harvath of Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia. In addition to being a thorough Arabist who thought he knew the region better than anyone else-along with what America's foreign policy absolutely should be-his hair was too blond, his teeth were too white, and his skin was too tan for a man of his age and stature. Harvath chalked a certain amount of that up to his parents' having named their male child Leslie.
