In mid-century America, newspaper columnists are kings — and Joseph Alsop wears the biggest crown. Joe sits at the nexus of Washington life: beloved, feared, and courted in equal measure by the very people whose careers he determines. But as the sixties dawn and America undergoes dizzying change, the intense political dramas Joe has been throwing his weight around in — supporting the war in Vietnam and Soviet containment, criticizing student activism — come to bear a profound personal cost.
