For most of three decades, Drew Pearson was the most familiar
journalist in the United States. In his daily newspaper column-the
most widely syndicated in the nation-and on radio and television
broadcasts, he chronicled the political and public policy news of
the nation. Meanwhile, he also worked his way into the inner
circles of policy makers in the White House and Congress, lobbying
for issues he believed would promote better government and world
peace. Pearson, however, still found time to record his thoughts
and observations in his personal diary. Published here for the
first time, Washington Merry-Go-Round presents Pearson's private
impressions on life inside the Beltway. Pearson held the confidence
of presidents-especially Lyndon B. Johnson-congressional leaders,
media moguls, political insiders, and dozens of otherwise unknown
sources of information. His direct interactions with the DC
glitterati, including Bobby Kennedy and Douglas MacArthur, are
featured throughout his diary, drawing the reader into the
compelling political intrigues of 1960s Washington and providing
the mysterious backstory on the famous and the notorious of the
era.
