Cokie Roberts joins Max Byrd for a discussion of the letters of Clover Adams, wife of Henry Adams. In her magnificent Washington house, Clover held a salon for politicians and writers including Henry James, General Sherman, and Oscar Wilde. Her perceptive letters expose Washington life and politics in the Gilded Age. A book signing of First of Hearts: Selected Letters of Mrs. Henry Adams will follow the program.
