As a fitting epilogue to a life intimately linked to
Washington, D.C., Pulitzer Prize winner Katharine Graham, the woman
who transformed The Washington Post into a paper of
record, left behind this lovingly collected anthology of writings
about the city she knew and loved, a moving tribute to the nation’s
capital.
To Russell Banks, it is a place where “no one is in charge and no
one, therefore, can be held responsible for the mess.” To John Dos
Passos, it is “essentially a town of lonely people.” Whatever your
impressions of Washington, D.C., you will likely find them
challenged here. Experience Christmas with the Roosevelts, as seen
through the eyes of a White House housekeeper. Learn why David
McCullough is happy to declare “I love Washington,” while The
Washington Post’s Sally Quinn wonders, “Why Do They Hate
Washington?” Glimpse David Brinkley’s depiction of the capital
during World War II, then experience Henry Kissinger’s thoughts on
“Peace at Last,” post-Vietnam. Written by a who’s who of
journalists, historians, First Ladies, politicians, and more, these
varied works offer a wonderful overview of Katharine Graham’s
beloved city.
