Written off as a mere courtesan and social climber, her true legacy was overshadowed by a glamorous social life and her infamous erotic adventures. Much of what she did behind the scenes – on both sides of the Atlantic - remained invisible and secret. That is, until now: with a wealth of fresh research, interviews and newly discovered sources, Sonia Purnell unveils for the first time the full, spectacular story of how she left an indelible mark on the world today. At age 20 Churchill's beloved daughter-in-law became a “secret weapon” during World War II, strategically wining, dining, and seducing diplomats and generals to help win over American sentiment (and secrets) to the British cause against Hitler. After the war, she helped to transform Fiat heir Gianni Agnelli into Italy's ‘uncrowned king' on the international stage and after moving to the US brought a struggling Democratic party back to life, hand-picking Bill Clinton from obscurity and vaulting him to the presidency. Picked as Ambassador to France, she deployed her legendary subtle powers to charm world leaders and help efforts to bring peace to Bosnia, playing her part in what was arguably the high-water mark of American global supremacy. There are few at any time who have operated as close to the center of power over five decades and two continents, and there is practically no one in 20th Century politics, culture, and fashion whose lives she did not touch, including the Kennedys, Truman Capote, Aly Khan, Kay Graham, Gloria Steinem, Ed Murrow, and Frank Sinatra. Written with the novelistic richness and investigative rigor that only Sonia Purnell could bring to this story full of sex, politics, yachts, palaces and fabulous clothes, KINGMAKER re-asserts Harriman's rightful place at the heart of history. 1963 Harriman and Acheson

But it's when Nell discovers the victim is a close blood relative that the past begins to take on a looming significance. What did take place in The Valley all those years ago? What was Nell's mother doing there, and what was her connection to troubled young police officer Simmons Burnside?

The Republican Professor
On Phyllis Schlafly, w/ Schlafly's Biographer (1981, Doubleday), Carol Felsenthal, Author of "The Sweetheart of the Silent Majority" (TRP Ep. 143)

She's had access to such luminaries as President Bill Clinton and the Washington Post's Kay Graham for her biographies of them, but her very first book was on the woman that seemed to split the country in half, Phyllis Schlafly. Schlafly is most notorious (or famous, depending) for nearly single-handedly stopping the Equal Rights Amendment from most certainly being ratified in my lifetime. How she did that -- and the fact that it is probably only her that could have done something like that -- is an issue in American Politics not many understand. Though it seems you have to at some point grapple with it. But Schlafly was sui generis in every rich nuance of the term. She was more comfortable debating detente with the Soviets and nuclear throw weights. She had a lot of kids, was a serious Catholic, and went to Law School in her fifties. She homeschooled all of her children up to a certain age, taught them all how to read herself, wrote books that were self-published and sold millions of copies, spoke all around the country, sometimes multiple times in one day, traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, and yet answered her own telephone. One could make the argument that she was the most important woman in American Politics in the latter half of the twentieth century -- perhaps the entire twentieth century. Is this real ? Her critics thought she was a phony. And she had millions of critics. My recent thoughts about this topic began in Scottsdale , Arizona, in 2023 at a used bookstore. In the section called "Conservativism," I found a copy of Carol Felsenthal's 1981 Doubleday biography of Schlafly . The book is called "The Sweetheart of the Silent Majority: The Biography of Phyllis Schalfly" by Carol Felsenthal. It began with a story that Schlafly gave her biographer the cold shoulder because of something very critical that Felsenthal had written about Schlafly years prior. Yet this copy had of all things Phyllis Schlafly's signature on it, inscribed for a couple , with best wishes. Now Schalfly had not signed most of the books she herself had written -- copies in the many, many millions. To think that she had signed this one written by someone whom she herself had dissed at some point for being highly critical. This, I had to see. So I reached out to Carol while reading it, and made the offer that she could easily refuse. But she didn't. And we ended up talking for 2 hours about Phyllis Schlafly and Carol's life as a biographer and a writer. Here's an example of the writing she has done for Chicago Magazine, a quite moving piece she did about her brother, an obituary of sorts, the man who had done the title sequences for such famous films as Superman (1978), Alien (1979), and The Untouchables (1987), who had recently died : https://www.chicagomag.com/arts-culture/June-2018/On-the-Life-and-Death-of-My-Brother-Dickie/ The Republican Professor is a pro-understanding-correctly-Phyllis Schlafly podcast.

The Post - When American military analyst, Daniel Ellsberg, realizes to his disgust the depths of the US government's deceptions about the futility of the Vietnam War, he takes action by copying top-secret documents that would become the Pentagon Papers. Later, Washington Post owner, Kay Graham, is still adjusting to taking over her late husband's business when editor Ben Bradlee discovers the New York Times has scooped them with an explosive expose on those papers. Determined to compete, Post reporters find Ellsberg himself and a complete copy of those papers. However, the Post's plans to publish their findings are put in jeopardy with a Federal restraining order that could get them all indicted for Contempt. Now, Kay Graham must decide whether to back down for the safety of her paper or publish and fight for the Freedom of the Press. In doing so, Graham and her staff join a fight that would have America's democratic ideals in the balance.
