SUMMARY:Molly Haskell reads from her latest Steven Spielberg: A Life in Films
DESCRIPTION:A film-centric portrait of the extraordinarily gifted movie director whose decades-long influence on American popular culture is unprecedented \n“Everything about me is in my films\,” Steven Spielberg has said. Taking this as a key to understanding the hugely successful moviemaker\, Molly Haskell explores the full range of Spielberg’s works for the light they shine upon the man himself. Through such powerhouse hits as Close Encounters of the Third Kind\, E.T.\, Jurassic Park\, and Indiana Jones\, to lesser-known masterworks like A.I. and Empire of the Sun\, to the haunting Schindler’s List\, Haskell shows how Spielberg’s uniquely evocative filmmaking and story-telling reveal the many ways in which his life\, work\, and times are entwined. \nOrganizing chapters around specific films\, the distinguished critic discusses how Spielberg’s childhood in non-Jewish suburbs\, his parents’ traumatic divorce\, his return to Judaism upon his son’s birth\, and other events echo in his work. She offers a brilliant portrait of the extraordinary director—a fearful boy living through his imagination who grew into a man whose openness\, generosity of spirit\, and creativity have enchanted audiences for more than 40 years.

SUMMARY:Amy Poeppel reads from her debut novel Small Admissions
DESCRIPTION:Despite her innate ambition and Summa Cum Laude smarts\, Kate Pearson has turned into a major slacker. After being unceremoniously dumped by her handsome\, French “almost fiancé\,” she abandons her grad school plans and instead spends her days lolling on the couch\, watching reruns of Sex and the City\, and leaving her apartment only when a dog-walking gig demands it. Her friends don’t know what to do other than pass tissues and hope for a comeback\, while her practical sister\, Angela\, pushes every remedy she can think of\, from trapeze class to therapy to job interviews. \nMiraculously\, and for reasons no one (least of all Kate) understands\, she manages to land a job in the admissions department at the prestigious Hudson Day School. In her new position\, Kate learns there’s no time for self-pity or nonsense during the height of the admissions season\, or what her colleagues refer to as “the dark time.” As the process revs up\, Kate meets smart kids who are unlikable\, likeable kids who aren’t very smart\, and Park Avenue parents who refuse to take no for an answer. \nMeanwhile\, Kate’s sister and her closest friends find themselves keeping secrets\, hiding boyfriends\, dropping bombshells\, and fighting each other on how to keep Kate on her feet. On top of it all\, her cranky\, oddly charming\, and irritatingly handsome downstairs neighbor is more than he seems. Through every dishy\, page-turning twist\, it seems that one person’s happiness leads to another’s misfortune\, and suddenly everyone\, including Kate\, is looking for a way to turn rejection on its head\, using any means necessary—including the truly unexpected.

SUMMARY:Diane B. Saxton reads from Peregrine Island
DESCRIPTION:The Peregrine family’s lives are turned upside down one summer when so-called “art experts” appear on the doorstep of their Connecticut island home to appraise a favorite heirloom painting. When incriminating papers\, as well as other paintings\, are discovered behind the artwork in question\, the appraisal turns into a full-fledged investigation. Antagonism mounts between grandmother\, mother\, and child\, who begin to suspect one another\, as well as the shady newcomers in their midst\, of foul play. \nAs the summer progresses and the Peregrines discover facts about their past in the course of the investigation\, they learn that people—including them—are not always who they appear to be. But when they uncover the painting’s deepest secret\, it gives them the gift of love that they have unconsciously been seeking all along.

SUMMARY:Bill Sanderson reads from his debut Bulletins From Dallas
DESCRIPTION:An in-depth look at one of the twentieth century’s star reporters and his biggest story. \nThanks to one reporter’s skill\, we can fix the exact moment on November 22\, 1963 when the world stopped and held its breath: At 12:34 p.m. Central Time\, UPI White House reporter Merriman Smith broke the news that shots had been fired at President Kennedy’s motorcade. Most people think Walter Cronkite was the first to tell America about the assassination. But when Cronkite broke the news on TV\, he read from one of Smith’s dispatches. At Parkland Hospital\, Smith saw President Kennedy’s blood-soaked body in the back of his limousine before the emergency room attendants arrived. Two hours later\, he was one of three journalists to witness President Johnson’s swearing-in aboard Air Force One. Smith rightly won a Pulitzer Prize for the vivid story he wrote for the next day’s morning newspapers. \nSmith’s scoop is journalism legend. But the full story of how he pulled off the most amazing reportorial coup has never been told. As the top White House reporter of his time\, Smith was a bona fide celebrity and even a regular on late-night TV. But he has never been the subject of a biography. \nWith access to a trove of Smith’s personal letters and papers and through interviews with Smith’s family and colleagues\, veteran news reporter Bill Sanderson will crack open the legend. Bulletins from Dallas will tell for the first time how Smith beat his competition on the story\, and will show how the biggest scoop of his career foreshadowed his personal downfall.

SUMMARY:Laurence Bergreen reads from his new book Casanova
DESCRIPTION:The definitive biography of the impoverished child\, abandoned by his parents\, who became the famous writer\, notorious libertine\, and self-invented genius whose name still resonates today: Giacomo Casanova. \nToday\, “Casanova” is a synonym for “great lover\,” yet the real story of this remarkable figure is little known. Giacomo Casanova was raised by his maternal grandmother\, an illiterate peasant. His birthplace\, Venice\, was a republic in decline\, reputedly the most debauched city in Europe. Casanova would add to the republic’s reputation. Over the course of his lifetime\, he claimed to have seduced more than 100 women\, among them married women\, young women in convents\, girls just barely in their teens\, and in one notorious instance\, his own illegitimate daughter. \nCasanova came of age in a Venice filled with spies and informers. Naturally brilliant\, he was intellectually curious and read forbidden books\, for which he was jailed. He staged a dramatic escape from Venice’s notorious prison\, the only person known to have done so. He then fled to France\, where he invented the national lottery that still exists to this day. But\, intemperate by nature\, he made enemies at the French court. He crisscrossed Europe\, landing for a while in St. Petersburg\, where he was admitted to the court of Catherine the Great. He corresponded with Voltaire and met Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte—assisting them as they composed the timeless opera Don Giovanni. And he wrote what many consider the greatest memoir of the era\, the 12-volume Story of My Life. \nA figure straight out of a Henry Fielding novel: erotic\, brilliant\, impulsive\, and desperate for recognition\, Casanova was a self-destructive genius. This witty\, roisterous biography exposes his astonishing life in rich\, intimate detail. At the same time\, it is a dazzling portrait of eighteenth-century Europe from serving girls to kings and courtiers. Esteemed biographer Laurence Bergreen brings a sensual world vividly alive in this irresistible book.

SUMMARY:Mary Stewart Hammond reads from her new collection of poetry Entering History
DESCRIPTION:Lyrical narratives that chronicle a long marriage\, rich with wit\, dark irony\, and poignancy. \nIn her long-awaited second volume\, Mary Stewart Hammond chronicles a long marriage with sharp wit\, dark irony\, and poignancy. As James Merrill says of Hammond’s poems\, they “brim with what the whole world knows.” \nEntering History opens on a middle-aged couple\, modern-day travelers in an ancient setting. The collection follows their relationship through time and place\, combining the personal and the historical in stories of the family—siblings\, a daughter\, and the very different marriage of the poet’s parents. \nThe marriage poems share the intimacy\, erotic playfulness\, irritations\, worries\, and angers that are part of an enduring love and a long marriage. In “Portrait of My Husband Reading Henry James\,” the poet paints her husband using syntax and language that evoke James’s. In “Venasque\,” the wintry village\, perched on the edge of a cliff\, serves as a metaphor for the existential crisis facing the couple. \n“Lines composed at Beaufort\, South Carolina\, a few miles above Parris Island\,” about the poet’s brother\, moves back and forth between the Civil War and the preparations of troops for today’s wars. In “Jacob and Esau with Sister\,” two brothers\, in a transaction as old as oral history\, highlight its consequences in the twenty-first century. “Anniversary” is a heartbreaking elegy for a third brother who kills himself. \nHammond reaches into the past and present of the American family\, closing Entering History where it began\, with the couple in bed\, now older\, harkening back to the bed they shared when they were newlyweds. These powerful\, beautifully crafted\, lyrical narratives give depth to an examination of life—its joys\, sorrows\, laughter\, and tragedies.

SUMMARY:Julian Tepper reads from his latest book\, Ark
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Arkin is an attorney in Manhattan. She’s grounded\, driven\, and successful. Unfortunately\, she’s also the granddaughter of Ben Arkin\, an artist who has never sold a piece\, and the daughter of Oliver Arkin\, who—along with his sisters—runs a record company that has never had a hit. When a legal battle breaks out for control of the company\, it falls to Rebecca to keep her family from collapsing\, all while trying desperately to extricate herself from their grasp.\nTold in the vein of a Wes Anderson film\, Ark follows three generations of a seemingly wealthy but crumbling New York family on their way from the penthouse to the outhouse. Filled with an absurdly captivating cast of characters who are often despicable yet entirely compelling\, Tepper’s sophomore novel is a wry and darkly humorous take on family dynamics.

SUMMARY:Larry Kudlow & Brian Domitrovic discuss their new book JFK and the Reagan Revolution
DESCRIPTION:John F. Kennedy was the first president since the 1920s to slash tax rates across-the-board. He was essentially the first supply-sider. Sadly\, today’s Democrats have ignored JFK’s tax-cut legacy and have opted instead for an anti-growth\, tax-hiking redistribution program\, undermining America’s economy. According to liberal conventional wisdom\, “the great postwar prosperity”—the most cherished period of American economic history—came because we were smart enough to tax the rich at very high rates\, expand government spending\, and redistribute wealth. Yet in fact\, the opposite is true. As JFK realized\, high taxes that punished success and fanned class warfare harmed the economy. In the 1950s\, when high tax rates prevailed\, America endured recessions every two or three years and the ranks of the unemployed swelled. Only in the 1960s did an interrupted boom at a high rate of growth (averaging 5 percent per year) drive a tremendous increase in jobs for the long term. The difference was Kennedy’s economic policy\, particularly his push for sweeping tax-rate cuts. Kennedy was so successful in the ’60s that he directly inspired Ronald Reagan’s tax cut revolution in the 1980s\, which rejuvenated the economy and gave us another boom that lasted for two decades. Lawrence Kudlow and Brian Domitrovic reveal the secret history of American prosperity by exploring the little-known battles within the Kennedy administration. They show why JFK rejected the advice of his Keynesian advisors\, turning instead to the ideas proposed by the non-Keynesians on his team of rivals.

SUMMARY:Michael Arlen reads from The Huntress
DESCRIPTION:This fascinating biography of the maverick newspaperwoman and intrepid adventurer follows her exceptional exploits through the first half of the twentieth century\, from her troublemaking days as the middle child of complicated parents to her successes as publisher of the Pulitzer Prize–winning Newsday.\nThe authors take us into the lost WASP world of Alicia Patterson: her larger-than-life father—scion of the Patterson-Medill Chicago publishing dynasty—and her traditional mother\, her childhood of foreign caretakers\, travel\, and boarding schools. Married off at twenty-three to a friend of her father’s\, Alicia spent little time at home during the brief marriage\, instead she earned a transport pilot’s license (only the tenth woman in the country to do so); hunted big game in Indochina and India; and began to write for her father’s newspaper The Daily News. Her second father-orchestrated marriage also failed\, but her last to Harry Guggenheim\, someone of her own choosing\, resulted in the founding of Newsday in 1940. As she guided the paper through investigative exposés and international and liberal political coverage\, her influence on the national stage grew along with the newspaper’s reputation and circulation\, winning a Pulitzer in 1954 and putting her on the cover of Time. Over the years admirers ranged from the Maharajah of Baroda to Adlai Stevenson. Here is the story of the spirited and formidable young woman who became a preeminent figure of the golden era of print newspapers.

SUMMARY:Sabeeha Rehman reads from her debut Threading My Prayer Rug
DESCRIPTION:Threading My Prayer Rug is a richly textured reflection on what it is to be a Muslim in America today. It is also the luminous story of many journeys: from Pakistan to the United States in an arranged marriage that becomes a love match lasting forty years; from secular Muslim in an Islamic society to devout Muslim in a society ignorant of Islam\, and from liberal to conservative to American Muslim; from student to bride and mother; and from an immigrant intending to stay two years to an American citizen\, business executive\, grandmother\, and tireless advocate for interfaith understanding. \nBeginning with a sweetly funny\, moving account of her arranged marriage\, the author undercuts stereotypes and offers the refreshing view of an American life through Muslim eyes. In chapters leavened with humor\, hope\, and insight\, she recounts an immigrant’s daily struggles balancing assimilation with preserving heritage\, overcoming religious barriers from within and distortions of Islam from without\, and confronting issues of raising her children as Muslims—while they lobby for a Christmas tree! Sabeeha Rehman was doing interfaith work for Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf\, the driving force behind the Muslim community center at Ground Zero\, when the backlash began. She discusses what that experience revealed about American society.

SUMMARY:Michael Craven reads from his latest The Detective & the Chinese High-Fin
DESCRIPTION:Attention\, fans of Carl Hiaasen\, Harlan Coben\, and Robert B. Parker! The author of The Detective & The Pipe Girl—nominated for both the Nero Wolfe and Shamus Awards—returns with another whip-smart\, funny\, and propulsive mystery featuring singular Los Angeles P.I. John Darvelle. \nPrivate Detective John Darvelle is back—drinking cheap beer\, playing ping-pong and sharing his philosophy on everything from work/life balance to restaurants with bad air-conditioning. (He doesn’t believe in the former\, he despises the latter.) Darvelle is hired to find the killer of Keaton Fuller\, a well-born Los Angeles man gunned down in his own driveway. The cops couldn’t solve the case\, in part because everyone who came in contact with Keaton despised him. Translation: Anybody could have done it. Following a trail of the dead man’s betrayals\, Darvelle finds himself in the exotic\, high-stakes world of rare tropical fish. The fish are certainly valuable enough to kill for\, but is there something more menacing going on?

SUMMARY:Ashley Prentice Norton reads from her latest If You Left
DESCRIPTION:A seductive novel about a privileged but damaged Manhattan wife whose main source of stability — her marriage — comes under threat\, from forces both without and within. For most of their marriage\, Althea has fluctuated between extreme depressive and manic states — what she calls “the Tombs” and “the Visions” — and Oliver has been the steady hand that guided her to safety. This summer\, Althea decides that she will be different from here on. She will be the loving\, sexy wife Oliver wants\, and the reliable\, affectionate mother their nine year-old daughter Clem deserves. Her plan: to bring Clem to their Easthampton home once school is out — with no “summer girl” to care for her this time — and become “normal.” But Oliver is distant and controlling\, and his relationship with their interior decorator seems a bit too close; Clem has learned to be self-sufficient\, and getting to know her now feels like very hard work for Althea. Into this scene enters the much younger\, David Foster Wallace–reading house painter\, who reaches something in Althea that has been long buried.\nFearless\, darkly funny\, and compulsively readable\, If You Left explores the complex dance that is the bipolar marriage\, and the possibility that to move forward\, we might have to destroy the very things we’ve worked hardest to build.

SUMMARY:Emily Voigt reads from her debut The Dragon Behind the Glass
DESCRIPTION:A young man is murdered for his prized pet fish. An Asian tycoon buys a single specimen for $150\,000. Meanwhile\, a pet detective chases smugglers through the streets of New York. Delving into an outlandish realm of obsession\, paranoia\, and criminality\, The Dragon Behind the Glass tells the story of a fish like none other: a powerful predator dating to the age of the dinosaurs. Treasured as a status symbol believed to bring good luck\, the Asian arowana is bred on high-security farms in Southeast Asia and sold by the hundreds of thousands each year. In the United States\, however\, it’s protected by the Endangered Species Act and illegal to bring into the country—though it remains the object of a thriving black market. From the South Bronx to Singapore\, journalist Emily Voigt follows the trail of the fish\, ultimately embarking on a years-long quest to find the arowana in the wild\, venturing deep into some of the last remaining tropical wildernesses on earth. \nWith a captivating blend of personal reporting\, history\, and science\, The Dragon Behind the Glasstraces our modern fascination with aquarium fish back to the era of exploration when intrepid naturalists stood on the cutting edge of modern science\, discovering new and wondrous species in jungles all over the world. In an age when freshwater fish now comprise one of the most rapidly vanishing groups of animals on the planet\, Voigt unearths a paradoxical truth behind the dragon fish’s rise to fame—one that calls into question how we protect the world’s rarest species. An elegant exploration of the human conquest of nature\, The Dragon Behind the Glassrevels in the sheer wonder of life’s diversity and lays bare our deepest desire—to hold onto what is wild.

SUMMARY:Gerald Marzorati reads from his new book Late to the Ball
DESCRIPTION:An award-winning author shares the inspiring and entertaining account of his pursuit to become a nationally competitive tennis player—at the age of sixty. \nBeing a man or a woman in your early sixties is different than it was a generation or two ago\, at least for the more fortunate of us. We aren’t old…yet. But we sense it coming: Careers are winding down\, kids are gone\, parents are dying (friends\, too)\, and our bodies are no longer youthful or even middle-aged. Learning to play tennis in your fifties is no small feat\, but becoming a serious\, competitive tennis player at the age of sixty is a whole other matter. It requires training the body to defy age\, and to methodically build one’s game—the strokework\, footwork\, strategy\, and mental toughness. \nGerry Mazorati started playing the game seriously in his mid-fifties. He had the strong desire to lead an examined physical life\, to push his body into the “encore” of middle age. In Late to the Ball Mazorati writes vividly about the difficulties\, frustrations\, and the triumphs of his becoming a seriously good tennis player. He takes on his quest with complete vigor and absolute determination to see it through\, providing a rich\, vicarious experience involving the science of aging\, his existential battle with time\, and the beautiful\, mysterious game of tennis. Late to the Ball is also captivating evidence that the rest of the Baby Boomer generation\, now between middle age and old age\, can find their own quest and do the same.

SUMMARY:Whit Stillman reads from Love & Friendship
DESCRIPTION:Austen’s unfinished (funniest and least known) novel is a comedy-of-manners centered on recently widowed Lady Susan Vernon—impossibly beautiful\, witty\, and completely self-absorbed—who arrives at her brother-in-law’s estate to find husbands for both herself and her daughter. With a pitch-perfect Austenian sensibility and wry social commentary\, filmmaker and writer Whit Stillman cleverly reimagines one of our greatest writers’ unfinished works. \nPlease note\, reading will begin at 5:00 not 6:00.

SUMMARY:Beth Gutcheon reads from her latest Death at Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:From the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Still Missing\, More Than You Know\, and Gossip comes the first entry in a stylish and witty mystery series featuring a pair of unlikely investigators—a shrewd novel of manners with a dark heart of murder at its center\, set in small-town New England. Indulging their pleasure in travel and new experiences\, recently retired private school head Maggie Detweiler and her old friend\, socialite Hope Babbin\, are heading to Maine. The trip—to attend a week-long master cooking class at the picturesque Victorian-era Oquossoc Mountain Inn—is an experiment to test their compatibility for future expeditions. Hope and Maggie have barely finished their first aperitifs when the inn’s tranquility is shattered by the arrival of Alexander and Lisa Antippas and Lisa’s actress sister\, Glory. Imperious and rude\, these Hollywood one-percenters quickly turn the inn upside-down with their demanding behavior\, igniting a flurry of speculation and gossip among staff and guests alike. \nBut the disruption soon turns deadly. After a suspicious late-night fire is brought under control\, Alex’s charred body is found in the ashes. Enter the town’s deputy sheriff\, Buster Babbin\, Hope’s long-estranged son and Maggie’s former student. A man who’s finally found his footing in life\, Buster needs a win. But he’s quickly pushed aside by the “big boys\,” senior law enforcement and high-powered state’s attorneys who swoop in to make a quick arrest.

SUMMARY:Burt Weissbourd reads from his latest Minos
DESCRIPTION:Minos\, the third work in the Corey Logan Trilogy\, derives from the mythical king of Crete who every lunar year condemns seven Athenian youths and seven maidens to be eaten by the ferocious Minotaur. Minos begins at the Olympic Academy\, where Billy’s friend Sara has just carved a magic circle in the hardwood bathroom floor with an ancient double-edged dagger. She twirls inside her circle calling on the Oracle of Apollo to help her find a modern-day Theseus\, the reincarnation of Athens’ “hero of all heroes” who slew the Minotaur. Lost in her magical dance\, she knocks over a candle\, sets fire to the curtains\, and is suspended from school. She is sent to Abe for treatment. Abe discovers that Sara has patched together an entire mythological universe and language with which she tries to make him see that lives are at stake. It is not easy to convince the authorities. But Corey knows that young people are indeed being murdered\, and soon Sara’s dire warnings begin to make sense. But who is the modern-day descendant of Minos? The key is inside Sara’s head.

SUMMARY:Ben Lindbergh reads from his debut The Only Rule Is It Has to Work
DESCRIPTION:It’s the ultimate in fantasy baseball: You get to pick the roster\, set the lineup\, and decide on strategies — with real players\, in a real ballpark\, in a real playoff race. That’s what baseball analysts Ben Lindbergh and Sam Miller got to do when an independent minor-league team in California\, the Sonoma Stompers\, offered them the chance to run its baseball operations according to the most advanced statistics. Their story in The Only Rule is it Has to Work is unlike any other baseball tale you’ve ever read. We tag along as Lindbergh and Miller apply their number-crunching insights to all aspects of assembling and running a team\, following one cardinal rule for judging each innovation they try: it has to work. We meet colorful figures like general manager Theo Fightmaster and boundary-breakers like the first openly gay player in professional baseball. Even José Canseco makes a cameo appearance.

SUMMARY:Ariel Winter reads from his latest Barren Cove
DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles Times Book Prize nominee–and former Corner Bookstore bookseller–Ariel S. Winter explores the secret legacy of an enigmatic family in this thrillingly atmospheric novel with a compelling and unexpected twist. \nSapien is a relic of a bygone age\, searching for meaning in a world where his outdated allegiances to a time long past have left him isolated and hopeless. Seeking peace and quiet\, he retires to a beach house at Barren Cove\, a stately Victorian manor even more antiquated than he.  He becomes increasingly fascinated with the family whose lives are entwined with the home—angry and rebellious Clark; flamboyant Kent; fragile\, beautiful Mary; and most of all\, Beachstone\, the mysterious man whose history may hold all the answers Sapien has been searching for. As Sapien unlocks their secret loves and betrayals\, the dangerous past of Barren Cove will indelibly change him…and who he is fated to become.

SUMMARY:Joshua Hammer reads from The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu
DESCRIPTION:To save precious centuries-old Arabic texts from Al Qaeda\, a band of librarians in Timbuktu pulls off a brazen heist worthy of Ocean’s Eleven. In the 1980s\, a young adventurer and collector for a government library\, Abdel Kader Haidara\, journeyed across the Sahara Desert and along the Niger River\, tracking down and salvaging tens of thousands of ancient Islamic and secular manuscripts that had fallen into obscurity. The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu tells the incredible story of how Haidara\, a mild-mannered archivist and historian from the legendary city of Timbuktu\, later became one of the world’s greatest and most brazen smugglers. In 2012\, thousands of Al Qaeda militants from northwest Africa seized control of most of Mali\, including Timbuktu. They imposed Sharia law\, chopped off the hands of accused thieves\, stoned to death unmarried couples\, and threatened to destroy the great manuscripts. As the militants tightened their control over Timbuktu\, Haidara organized a dangerous operation to sneak all 350\,000 volumes out of the city to the safety of southern Mali. Over the past twenty years\, journalist Joshua Hammer visited Timbuktu numerous times and is uniquely qualified to tell the story of Haidara’s heroic and ultimately successful effort to outwit Al Qaeda and preserve Mali’s—and the world’s—literary patrimony. Hammer explores the city’s manuscript heritage and offers never-before-reported details about the militants’ march into northwest Africa. But above all\, The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu is an inspiring account of the victory of art and literature over extremism.

SUMMARY:Paul Vidich reads from his debut novel An Honorable Man
DESCRIPTION:A debut espionage novel in the style of Alan Furst and John le Carré\, An Honorable Man is a chilling Cold War spy thriller set in 1950s Washington\, D.C. Washington D.C.\, 1953. The Cold War is heating up: McCarthyism\, with all its fear and demagoguery\, is raging in the nation’s capital\, and Joseph Stalin’s death has left a dangerous power vacuum in the Soviet Union. The CIA\, meanwhile\, is reeling from a double agent within their midst. Someone is selling secrets to the Soviets\, compromising missions around the globe. Undercover agents have been assassinated\, and anti-Communist plots are being cut short in ruthlessly efficient fashion. The CIA director knows any news of the traitor\, whose code name is Protocol\, would be a national embarrassment and compromise the entire agency. George Mueller seems to be the perfect man to help find the mole: Yale-educated; extensive experience running missions in Eastern Europe; an operative so dedicated to his job that it left his marriage in tatters. The Director trusts him. Mueller\, though\, has secrets of his own\, and as he digs deeper into the case\, making contact with a Soviet agent\, suspicion begins to fall on him as well. Until Protocol is found\, no one can be trusted\, and everyone is at risk. \nPaul Vidich will be in conversation with Helen Phillips\, author of The Beautiful Bureaucrat.

SUMMARY:Brenda Janowitz reads from her new book The Dinner Party
DESCRIPTION:This Passover Seder is not just any Passover Seder. Yes\, there will be a quick service and then a festive meal afterwards\, but this night is different from all other nights. This will be the night the Golds of Greenwich meet the Rothschilds of New York City. The Rothschilds are the stuff of legends. They control banks\, own vineyards in Napa\, diamond mines in Africa\, and even an organic farm somewhere in the Midwest that produces the most popular Romaine lettuce consumed in this country. And now\, Sylvia Gold’s daughter is dating one of them. When Sylvia finds out that her youngest of three is going to bring her new boyfriend to the Seder\, she’s giddy. When she finds out that his parents are coming\, too\, she darn near faints. Making a good impression is all she thinks about. Well\, almost. She still has to consider her other daughter\, Sarah\, who’ll be coming with her less than appropriate beau and his overly dramatic Italian mother. But the drama won’t stop there. Because despite the food and the wine\, despite the new linen and the fresh flowers\, the holidays are about family. Long forgotten memories come to the surface. Old grievances play out. And Sylvia Gold has to learn how to let her family go.
