Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Book Club Edition. Damage to front cover bottom right side of book.Anna Kowalczek arrived on Capitol Hill at the start of World War II, old Senator Seab Cooley of South Carolina predicted, "Mark my words, that little lady is going to own this town someday." And thirty year…s later, Anna almost does: as widow of amiable but foredoomed Senator Gordon Hastings of Texas-as columnist-as television personality-as major political figure-and above all as founder and publisher of the Washington Inquirer and head of a media empire that stretches from coast to coast. How Anna clawed her way to the top of the Washington heap from a modest Polish home in Punxsutawney, PA., is related in this engrossing novel of the Washington scene Allen Drury knows so well and has described so powerfully in his previous political novels. His tale of Anna, her rise and those who either successfully accompanied her or fell by the wayside is, as Seab Cooley also remarked, "some skeerazzle." Here you will meet the people who had to live with Anna and the four horsemen (or, as Anna would put it now, "horsepersons") who came as eager youngsters to the wild and wacky Washington of World War II and stayed to become some of the town's top journalists: Ed Macomb, the narrator, who serves loyally as managing editor of the Inquirer until Anna with the greatest love and reluctance slits his throat professionally and kicks him out- Fat and faithful Bessie Revere, who receives the same treatment yet also remains loyal- Talbot Farson, who survives Presidential enmity, a Congressional investigation and a dubious political past to retain his triumphant grip on the news as editor of the Inquirer- Unhappy Gordon Hastings, married to one of Washington's most ambitious women and eventually destroyed- Young Gordie and Lisa, Anna's children, the only two people their mother couldn't dominate. And, always, Anna herself, brilliant, ruthless, all-conquering-and yet somehow pathetic and vulnerable, likable and touching in spite of the whim-of-iron qualities that make her at the same time one of Washington's most successful women and one of its more formidable monsters. ark my words, that little lady is going to own this town someday." And thirty years later, Anna almost does: as widow of amiable but foredoomed Senator Gordon Hastings of Texas- as columnist- as television personality- as major political figure- and abov (illustrator).
