In mid-century America, newspaper columnists are kings. At the height of the Cold War, Joseph Alsop is at the heart of Washington life. He is beloved, feared, and courted by the very people whose careers and futures he determines. But as the sixties dawn and America undergoes dizzying change, the intense political dramas Joe has been involved in come to bear a profound personal cost. A play from the Pulitzer and Tony Award–winning author of <I>Proof</I>.
