| This is an unsettling account of how Washington's lobbying industry emerged not as a shadowy sideshow to politics, but as its parallel operating system, running continuously regardless of which party is in charge. It's meticulously researched. I some ...more | |

| This author was recommended to me by a very literate friend. I dug in with anticipation and was surprised that so little actually happened in terms of plot. But I find that it lingers in my mind, and I'm eager for more of Barbara Pym's world. Protago ...more | |

| There is something deeply respectful about the author's approach to stillness, especially for mature readers. It isn’t framed as a self-improvement project or a productivity hack but an acknowledgment that wisdom often arrives when the noise subsides ...more | |

“The Profumo Affair in 1963 profoundly altered British society. It gave lie to the belief that those born into the ruling class were inherently superior and destined to lead.”

“We were lovers, life companions, crusaders, side by side, for a vision of what the country could be,” Elizabeth Edwards wrote of her marriage to U.S. Sen. John Edwards. When she found out he was cheating on her, the crusading became “the glue” that kept them together.”

“The couples learn to distrust what’s said about them in the media and to turn inward toward each other in times of crisis. Dina Matos McGreevey, former wife of New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey wrote, “Yes, I’d once or twice heard the rumor that Jim was gay, but I dismissed it just as I dismissed many other stories, most of which I knew not to be true.”

“Perhaps this sort of marriage, at the top echelons of Washington and international society, was made from different rules. Fidelity, honesty – perhaps these were quaint ideas better suited to less ambitious people. When one had the heights of the free world practically in one’s grasp, maybe the bargain at the altar became more pragmatic.”

“You know, in most any other marriage, this would have been a private issue between a husband and a wife, very private. Obviously, it’s not here.” – Wendy Vitter, wife of former U.S. Sen. David Vitter”

“Being a leading power couple means not only submitting to media scrutiny but also commanding coverage. To leave the marriage behind is to step out of the spotlight. It means fading into normalcy, returning to ordinary life, perhaps an impossible admission for women who have built their egos on being one member of a leading couple.”
