First American Edition (Stated) VERY GOOD in very good dust jacket. Clean, no marks. Binding is tight and square. DJ has some tape repaired small tears. . . . . . . . FROM THE DUST JACKET FLAP: Full of froth and charm, this is an insider's report on Washington's power elite and the entertaining ways that help them maintain and expand that power. Lucy Moorhead is one of Washington's most renowned hostesses. In ENTERTAINING IN WASHINGTON, she gives an eyewitness account of the tactics and strategy of Washington parties. Her principals are those men and women who make - or bend - policy, who create the news and, directly or indirectly, affect our lives. Some are famous; others known only in the discreet circles of power. They include: * International hostess Pamela Harriman, former daughter-in-law of Winston Churchill and wife of elder statesman and diplomat extraordinary, Governor Averell Harriman. ---- * Rosalynn Carter, who presides over picnics on the lawn for 500, formal dinners that mix top diplomats and old Georgia friends, and intimate luncheons with a cool and effective skill. ---- * Katharine Graham, the daring publisher of Newsweek and The Washington Post, who was the first to break the Watergate scandal that eventually toppled an administration. ---- * Ardeshir Zahedi, glamorous Ambassador from Iran and former brother-in-law of the Shah.
