康拉德(Conrad)成为一个大骗子,并为前任总统筹集了很多钱,从而获得了大使。他提醒哈拉特在阿拉伯劳伦斯(Lawrence)的彼得·奥图尔(Peter O'Toole)。除了是一个彻底的阿拉伯主义者外,他认为自己比其他任何人都更了解该地区,因为美国的外交政策绝对应该是金色的,他的牙齿太白了,他的皮肤太晒黑了,对于一个年龄和身材的人来说,他的牙齿太晒黑了。 Harvath将一定的数量归结为他的父母命名为男孩Leslie。
(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.)
康拉德(Conrad)成为前总统的重要筹款活动,确保了他作为大使的地位,这给哈特阿纳(Harvath)留下了深刻的印象。他将康拉德(Conrad)比作彼得·奥图尔(Peter O'Toole)在《阿拉伯劳伦斯》(Lawrence of Arabia)中的性格,他指出了他对阿拉伯文化的深刻了解以及他对美国外交政策的强烈看法。但是,他的某些特征,例如他过于金色的头发,不自然的牙齿和过多的棕褐色,使他看起来不合适,尤其是对于他的年龄和经验的人。
Harvath推测,其中一些怪癖可能与Conrad的不寻常名称有关,这表明它可能影响了他的角色。该描述描绘了一位大使的照片,尽管他的资格和专业知识,但他具有一定的肤浅,这对他对他所代表的地区的真实理解提出了疑问。
