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: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: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.
