His brother William has lived an honest life, he is the former President of the Massachusetts State Senate and the University of Massachusetts.

actually iv got a whole philosophy about this topic. nurturing a child is the parents job but it is also done indirectly by the childs peers and teachers in school and when the child is out and about. for example that 'james' character would have had friends in school that at first seemed up to his standards so he welcomed them as friends then as time went by the other childrens parents influenced them in a different way making the child 'bad-er' who then goes on to influence james to become a worse person as well. the opposite must have been true for william.
this is also why a childs parents arent the only ones responsible for the way a child turns out but rather the whole adult community as a whole (adults can also be influnced by others by way of emotions such as anger at being fired leading to angry parenting etc etc)
also each person is not identical to their sibling and cannot truely (to the nanometer) do the same, and live the same as their simbling even if it is something as simple as a stubbing their toe at the wrong moment causing 'evil' thoughts which lead to the child veering of a little from what the parents are aiming.
