Based on Laurence Leamer’s Capote’s Women, the third episode of Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, titled Masquerade 1966, is all about friendship. A friendship that is broken and betrayed, but where there remains a desire to mend it even though you know it is doomed already. In the previous two episodes, we have already seen how Truman Capote completely threw his best friendship with Babe Paley under the bus by writing an article on her scandalous marriage, but in this episode, we went back to 1966, when everything was fine between these two. At that time, they were the closest friends who seemed to be very genuine on camera, but no one knew at that point that their union would take a drastic turn.

“Dinner, you have to understand, is always about something,” says the son of a Washington hostess, explaining the local power rituals to his naïve, if ambitious, girlfriend. At his mother’s glamorous evenings, he points out, there’s a professed agenda involving entertainment and also, beneath it, a profound one involving argument. But for Hester Ferris, a Pamela Harriman-like Democratic doyenne whom we follow over the course of 30 years, the gap between the professed and the profound is very slim: Argument is entertainment. Others may feel differently.Like Hester’s dinners, Anthony Giardina’s perplexing new melodrama, The City of Conversation, is about something: the destruction of political comity that resulted (the play suggests) from the barbarian invasion of the Reaganauts in 1980. Unfortunately this argument is planted in an entertainment that can’t support it. For Hester is not just Colin’s doting yet disapproving mother, the paramour of a center-left senator,...

The Queen of Pop once turned down the opportunity to portray the leading lady of Camelot.
According to an upcoming memoir by RoseMarie Terenzio, former friend and publicist of the late John F. Kennedy Jr., the political scion and publisher of George Magazine wanted Madonna to pose as his mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, on the cover of the summer of 1996's Women in Politics issue.
"I think we should dress Madonna up as my mother," Terenzio remembers Kennedy saying in "Fairy Tale Interrupted" (via the NY Post). "Wouldn't that be a riot?"
Kennedy continued with the suggestion despite Terenzio's protests, proposing that they "have her in a pillbox hat, sitting on a stack of books."
Beyond using a controversial pop icon to play a beloved First Lady, the move would have created a "media sh*tstorm," Terenzio warned, because of Kennedy and Madonna's rumored past fling. In 2007, a biography of...

“Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead,” Benjamin Franklin said. And Ben did know a bit about politics. By the end of the “Wrongful Termination” episode, there are at least six people aware of Peter and Kalinda’s one-night stand, with a seventh–a reporter–homing in.
But first, our court case: A class action by a group of employees...

Richard Holbrooke pushed harder and cared more than other American foreign-policy players. Peter Beinart on Holbrooke's special blend of superpower swagger and moral passion.
There will probably never be another American diplomat like Richard Holbrooke. The reason is partly personal. Most diplomats are careful, reserved, discreet... diplomatic. Holbrooke was the opposite. He didn't merely court reporters; he stalked them. And when they didn't write enough about him, he wrote about himself. He did not do subtle. When he bore down on people, he had about as much respect for personal space as Lyndon Johnson in a men's room. As Democratic doyenne Pamela Harriman once put it, "he's not entirely housebroken."

In all these ways, Holbrooke was part of the sociology of 20th-century American Jewry. He entered the Foreign Service in the 1960s, when it was still something of a Wasp club.

'People Who marry for money have the hardest job. You don't get the money. You just get to look at it!" This is a line from Paul Schrader's 2007 movie "The Walker." It's uttered by none other than the living legend Lauren Bacall. This movie played a lot of festivals last year, had a limited run in the Us last December, and its DVD has just been released in Iceland, of all places! (Hey, us regular movie-goers would like to see it.)
