In cold war America, the most influential newspaper columnist of them all is admired, feared, and courted by the Washington elite whose careers he determines. But with the dizzying changes of the 60s, his political gamesmanship might be about to catch up on him. Based on the real-life story of Joseph Alsop whose columns ran for four decades in over 300 newspapers, this hilarious, searing portrait by the Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning writer of Proof draws a direct line to our own turbulent era.
