A Walking Tour of the Georgetown Set
by Rick MassimoThe tony, leafy neighborhood of Georgetown along the Potomac river in Washington, D.C. has been influential in American history since the 18th century when it was a thriving seaport. But during the Cold War, following World War II and up until the end of the 20th century, it was home to the Capitol's most influential players in government, spycraft, journalism, and the arts. Within less than a square mile were located the red brick Federal era homes of the best and the brightest, most of them close friends and frequent dinner companions. They came to be known as the "Georgetown Set", despised by Richard Nixon for their Ivy League, patrician clannishness, their secret "old boy" arrogance, and their unfettered access to the highest levels of power in the city.The inner circle included Phillip and Katharine Graham, owners of the Washington Post; the columnists Joe and Stewart Alsop; The Bundy brothers; powerbroker and railroad scion Averrill Harriman; Secretary of State John Foster Dulles; Jack and Jackie Kennedy; and many more spooks, G men, Senators, and Supreme Court Justices were members of this elite club. Now, for the first time, author Richard Massimo takes us on a walking tour of the neighborhood where the Georgetown Set lived, including a map, recent photos of each house, and sketches of each inhabitant. Spend an afternoon walking the brick sidewalks of Georgetown and you'll see where these historic figures resided. &“The hand that mixes the Georgetown martini is time and again the hand that guides the destiny of the Western world.&” –Henry Kissinger
Daredevil at the Wheel: The Climb and Crash of Joan LaCosta
by Tony St. Clair"An essential contribution to women&’s sports history and car racing collections." —Booklist, Starred ReviewOn Fourth of July weekend in 1924, Marion Martins flies past some of the best race car drivers of her time and takes home two trophies from the famous North Shore racetrack in Chicago. In 1926, on the beaches of Daytona, Florida, Joan LaCosta breaks a world speed record at 145 miles per hour. But Martins and LaCosta never face one another on the close-knit circuit of early American auto racing. That&’s because they are just two of the identities adopted by the elusive woman born Marion Carver. By the late 1920s, this enigmatic woman became a household name in auto racing—several household names in fact—though she&’d be best known as Joan LaCosta. Adopting and discarding personas almost as often as she changes tires, LaCosta defies death, shuns social norms, and keeps her competition in the rearview mirror. While driving as fast as she can away from a complicated past, she survives violent wrecks, race collisions, and onboard fires in front of sell-out crowds. But fame, danger, and failed relationships take their toll.In 1929, as the Great Depression looms, LaCosta, broke and broken, commits to one last daring stunt: the attempted robbery of a Chicago high-society matron in the city&’s most glamorous high rise. Coverage of the dramatic trial sells out papers from coast to coast, and after fame turns to infamy, LaCosta sheds her identity one last time and disappears from public view.
