Abstract:
Cads. Churls. Charmers. Boors and seducers. Each of us knows a Jack Weiss—those high octane, abundantly self-assured people, exuders of confidence and charisma. Usually, they are powerful men. But male or female, should they happen to be smooth-talkers with glib lines, fast repartee and great smiles, they are capable of leaving chaos in their personal wakes.
Is there a definitive line between insane and normal? Or is madness more like a membrane—porous enough to allow excursions back and forth without the risk of suspicion or imprisonment?
