Georgetown Dish: Dishy Dollops from the World's Most Important Neighborhood

by Beth Solomon

Beth Solomon sneaks you behind ivy-covered walls into the parlors of prestige that Kennedys and kings, glitterati and the glamorous call home. A fun, gossipy, look at how Washington works (or doesn't) through the lens of Georgetown. The author learned to write at the elbow of her mother, a former reporter at the Cincinnati Enquirer and Chicago Tribune. A niece of Washington Post fashion editor Nina Hyde, Solomon started her career as a freelance radio reporter with the Voice of America in Nairobi, Kenya, reporting throughout East Africa. Later, she covered the fall of the Berlin Wall and the first free elections in Eastern Europe after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Solomon served as a speechwriter for Senator Sam Nunn (D-Ga.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, before going on to roles in media, Hollywood, and international humanitarian aid. She graduated from Yale.
