The Grafters

If Mr. Lynde sometimes falters in his lovemaking and sometimes seems to fail to understand women, he never fails in the delineation of the characters of his men. They are not gods or demigods; they are not even heroes; they are men fighting for what they want, not caring a jot whether their actions or their motives are ethically right or wrong so long as in the end it brings to them what all true Americans worship--money.
