In the Spirit of our Founding Fathers, I bring you the 110 rules that guided the life of George Washington, our nation's first president. In a day when being crude, crass and offensive is in vogue, these rules speak to a different impulse. They remind us that beyond our desire for the immediate gratification of every whim there are other people with their own sensibilities and notions of dignity. they remind us of the early days of this country when being civil to friend and foe alike was not only good manners but a sign of one's worth. Each of the rules is illustrated by a cartoon and accompanied by a modern observation. Good for gifts or gags. Suitable for friends or foes.
