ANC Report: DDOT, Jelleff, Traffic

BY PEGGY SANDS

How much is going on in Georgetown this spring? So much that it took an entire two-hourplus Advisory Neighborhood Commission meeting on May 1 just to catch everyone up and vote on a few resolutions addressed to the District Council and various government agencies. In sum, almost everything is moving ahead, but slowly and with some rethinking.

ROUTING THE CIRCULATOR

For instance, rethinking the Council’s April decision to end the DC Circulator bus services. Maybe they didn’t understand that the big red buses fill a need for workers and visitors traveling to and from Georgetown. Perhaps it is not as easy as the Council budgeters had thought to get WMATA to tack portions of the Circulator routes onto existing Metrobus routes. According to representatives of Mayor Muriel Bowser and Ward 2 Council member Brooke Pinto, at least parts of the Circulator services may be retained. Input is invited.

Other long-term projects are coming along. Complaints about the years it takes to fix loose bricks and holes in Georgetown’s historic sidewalks are supposedly being heard. The ANC and the District Departments of Public

Works and Transportation are discussing how to speed up turnaround times. Given the potential liabilities resulting from broken legs, ankles and the like, it makes sense to prioritize sidewalk repair.

DDOT FINALLY?

That issue turns up among the 22 recommendations, give or take, in the final DDOT Georgetown Transportation Access

and Circulation Study, to be presented publicly on May 20 at a virtual meeting and on May 21 at an in-person meeting in the parish hall of St. John’s Church.

On May 2, final plans for the renovation and expansion of Jelleff Recreation Center — another project going back more than five years — were presented in a public meeting at the Georgetown Public Library. [Editor’s note: See online news story about this meeting.]

Of course, there are always other issues to cover, such as alleyway maintenance, including the replacement of city trash buckets. “Damaged ones could be replaced by the city if due to rats,” according to Council member Pinto’s liaison officer. “But some 50 percent of the residences in Burleith are rentals,” commented Eric Langenbacher, president of the Burleith Citizens Association. “They won’t replace city garbage pails,”

MORE TRAFFIC COPS

Possibly in the final budget: Enhancement of security at historic Mt. Zion Cemetery to stop the ongoing nighttime vandalism. Also announced was the hiring of police and traffic officers to be on-duty in the late afternoon and evening hours at key points of traffic congestion in Georgetown, to be implemented this week.

Metropolitan Police Officer Preston Proctor has been hired — “his experience is invaluable,” one commissioner noted. The new hires will also keep watch on illegal parking, especially that of food trucks. The commission asked to tighten up parking enforcement overall. The new Georgetown bike patrol is now established and riding. Other concerns, such as shutting down illegal cannabis gift shops, will get increased attention.

FÊTE DE LA MUSIQUE, JUNE 21

A new Georgetown event was announced. “Fête de la Musique,” co-sponsored by the Georgetown Business Improvement District, will feature performances around town on June 21. The international tradition, also known as “World Music Day,” began in 1982 in Paris.

The new MacArthur High School is set to double in size from 200 (mainly ninth graders) to some 400 next fall. Commissioner Kishan Putta urged that funding for the final renovations to the school, which will have more than 800 students in a few years, be secured, along with funds for an auditorium.

Georgetown Main Street Lauds Local Businesses

BY ROBERT DEVANEY

“Georgetown is thriving,” said Georgetown Main Street Executive Director Rachel Shank, after welcoming members and guests to the organization’s April 3 annual meeting at Fathom Gallery, on Wisconsin Avenue under Compass Coffee.

Noting that she’s been on the job for five years, Shank shared her enthusiasm about the town’s vibrancy. She stated that the number of Georgetown visitors was up five percent, close to pre-pandemic levels.

Among the ongoing programs of which Shank is proud are Art All Night, the Cookie Tour and Coffee and Conversation.

Also noted were 19 new businesses and the awarding of facade grants to Thomas Sweet, Village Art & Craft and GT Players. Other grant recipients: Arcay Chocolates, the Georgetown Garden Shop, Georgetown Tee’s, Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls, Patisserie Poupon and, for new restaurant space, Green Almond Pantry.

Chocolate artist Anabella Arcay de Berti and her husband Dario Berti, CEO of Arcay Chocolates at 3211 O St. NW, received special recognition.

Finally, Shank and GMS Board Chair Iesha Holy thanked retired board president Melanie Hayes for her “invaluable leadership,” calling her a “beacon of positivity.”

Founded in 2017, Georgetown Main Street is a designated DC Main Streets program of the District’s Department of Small and Local Business Development. GMS grew out of the Georgetown Business Association, launched in 1976 as a nonprofit membership organization committed to maintaining and improving the climate for conducting business in Georgetown.

ARCHITECTS WALK

The Citizens Association of Georgetown held its second annual Architects Walk Through Georgetown on April 6. The sellout event was attended by approximately 100 CAG members. Seven leading D.C. architects volunteered their time to expertly narrate the history of distinctive houses in Georgetown’s west village.

‘BARDO’ INSPIRES

As part of Oak Hill Cemetery’s 175th anniversary celebration, George Saunders, author of “Lincoln in the Bardo,” gave a reading in the cemetery’s Renwick Chapel on April 26. Saunders began the night with an impromptu staged reading of pages 291 to 294 of his book, describing the start of Willie Lincoln’s service in the chapel. “It was so moving to hear these words about the chapel, read in the chapel,” said one cemetery supporter. “Truly a night we will never forget.” Saunders’s Booker Prizewinning novel inspires hundreds of visitors each year to come to Oak Hill to visit the Carroll Mausoleum — where Willie Lincoln was interred from 1862 to 1865 — and reflect upon this moving story.

51 YEARS

KITTY TELLS ‘ALL’

Georgetown’s own Kitty Kelley — “America’s bestselling investigative biographer” — bedazzled her audience on the sun-drenched penthouse patio of Alan and Nancy Taylor Bubes, overlooking the Potomac River. The May 2 interview, moderated by Carrington Tarr, was organized by the Citizens Association of Georgetown. Kelley spoke of how her biographical subjects — such as Frank Sinatra and Nancy Reagan — affected her. She fondly recalled the gift from Katharine Graham she received at her office and how a senator’s scheduled five-minute interview turned into two hours.

Community Involvement Is a Win-Win

When was the last time you pitched in to help Georgetown achieve or, better yet, surpass its goals?

This isn’t a trick question, and we don’t mean to send you on a guilt trip. We’re just wondering how to motivate more residents — well beyond the “usual suspects,” on whom we greatly depend — to get involved in our unique and historic community.

Georgetown is rich in neighborhood vitality. But to a large extent, that vitality is supported by the folks who work for and volunteer at our local bounty of nonprofit organizations.

First among equals is the Citizens Association of Georgetown, which just elected new officers and directors. The Georgetowner sends kudos to departing President Tara Sakraida Parker and a warm welcome to new President Paul Williams. At 146 years old, CAG has a variety of programs in which to participate.

And there are opportunities all around town in many groups, such as the Friends of Volta Park … or Rose Park or Georgetown Waterfront Park.

Notably active is Dr. Sachiko Kuno, co-founder of S&R Evermay and Halcyon, who has made a big impact in Georgetown with her own civic strategy, while preserving two landmarks. She will be honored next week by Georgetown Village — a nonprofit that helps its members “safely and securely age in their own community” — which she has supported by providing them space in the Fillmore School.

The Kuno tribute will occur at the residence of Alan and Nancy Taylor Bubes, who have given their time, their home and their money to numerous worthy causes. Last week on the Bubes patio, a longtime Georgetowner,

author Kitty Kelley, was interviewed as part of a CAG benefit. The irrepressible Kelley charmed everyone. She, too, is known for her civic commitments — and for giving a million dollars to Biographers International Organization.

Of course, you don’t have to be famous, super-connected or rich to get involved in your community.

The 2014 book “The Psychology of Citizenship and Civic Engagement,” by S. Mark Pancer, examines the profound impact that community connections can have on one’s health and well-being. Writes Pancer: “Being active in a neighborhood association, volunteering with a charitable organization, working for a political party, fighting for social justice on behalf of a marginalized group or singing in a community choir all have positive outcomes.

“Civically involved adults also have greater self-esteem and better personal relationships. Additionally, they have fewer illnesses, lower levels of depression and they even live longer! Studies have shown, for example, that older individuals who volunteer in their community, compared to those who do not, experience a 40-percent to 50-percent reduction in mortality during their senior years.”

By pitching in, in other words, you not only make a better version of your community, you make a better version of you. It’s truly a win-win.

In the next issue, we will print a list to identify the problems and decisions confronting Georgetown today. To help you get involved, we promise to provide information for community-based groups and meetings as best we can through our Monday and Thursday newsletters.

Happy Mother’s Day, Call Your Mom!

Mother’s Day is fast approaching — Sunday, May 12, to be exact. As the inevitable clichés of “Call your mother,” “Send her flowers” and “Take her to brunch” fill the spring air, we’re here to tell you not to brush them off.

It’s never too late to call mom, to send her a bouquet of her favorite flowers or to take her out somewhere nice. All this is especially true if mom and you have had a rough go of things over the years. On Mother’s Day, it’s hard not to wonder “What if?” in terms of reconciling rifts and differences.

You probably also know men and women who

How I Discovered the Meaning of Memorial Day

BY CHIP REID

I’m a bit embarrassed to admit it, but for most of my life the only thing special about Memorial Day was the fact that it was a day off from school or work.

Like most Americans, I grew up in a family with little connection to the military. I was a few years too young to be caught up in the Vietnam draft, and while one grandfather fought in World War I, I never heard him speak about it.

Now, Memorial Day is one of the most important days on my calendar.

My conversion from Memorial Day agnostic to disciple began gradually. After moving to D.C. in the 1980s, I felt drawn to the serene

“They

how their experience in combat changed their lives. I interviewed dozens of the Marines I had been embedded with, along with many of their wives and grown children. After each lengthy interview, I was emotionally exhausted. Many had struggled mightily with PTSD, a prominent cause of which was almost always the survivor’s guilt resulting from the loss of their Marine brothers.

This Memorial Day, I’ll be in Southern California where, at dawn, I’ll attend a ceremony at Camp Pendleton honoring U.S. Marines who lost their lives in Iraq (and the way-too-many who took their own lives after coming home).

say that a man dies twice: first when he leaves his body — and second, when his name is spoken for the last time.” — Camp Pendleton memorial plaque

beauty of Arlington National Cemetery. I was awed by the courage of the men and women honored there.

My full baptism came in 2003 when, as an NBC News correspondent, I volunteered to be a journalist embedded during the invasion of Iraq.

It was easily the most extraordinary, jawdropping experience in my decades-long career in TV news. I was stunned to witness young Marines making instantaneous life-and-death decisions, at an age when my toughest decisions were whom to invite to the high school prom and what courses to take in college.

I developed enormous respect for those Marines and their devotion to something bigger than themselves. At the time, they didn’t question why they were there. They did their duty. They answered the call.

My respect for them only increased two decades later while writing my recently published book “Battle Scars,” which describes

In the afternoon, I’ll be at Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, emceeing a ceremony honoring Marines who met a similar fate in Afghanistan.

If you think Marines are too tough to cry, think again. The last time I attended one of these ceremonies, there was a veritable flood of tears for their fallen brothers.

One stop I’ll be sure to make at Camp Pendleton is the Veterans Memorial Garden, where a plaque begins with these words: “They say that a man dies twice: first when he leaves his body — and second, when his name is spoken for the last time.”

On this Memorial Day, let’s remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I hope their names will never be spoken for the last time.

are dealing with the loss of their own mothers. Grief never fully goes away. Companies are realizing this, giving people the option to opt out of Mother’s Day promotional emails that arrive in your inbox this time of year.

Mother’s Day is indeed a day to be grateful you are a mother and to honor the mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers in your life. But it’s also a day to practice empathy for women who may have wanted to be a mother, but for whom life didn’t work out exactly as they expected. Others may have tragically lost an infant or an older child.

Mother’s Day is no simpler than any other holiday. Take a moment on May 12 to reflect on and give thanks for your relationship with your mom, or with a mother-like figure in your life. At the same time, be sympathetic and understanding if there are women in your midst grieving torn relationships with their children or the children they never got to have, or the loss of their own moms. They need love and compassion on this day too.

Happy Mother’s Day, Georgetown.

The Primary Election is June 4. See Georgetowner.com for stories next week.

M ST. BARNES & NOBLE RESTORED, JUNE 26

Gone from Georgetown since 2011, the United States’ largest bookstore chain will return to its original location at 3040 M St. NW, having signed a 33,754-square-foot lease for the same three floors last year, as previously reported. Barnes & Noble announced the reopening date, June 26, on its Instagram account. As expected, the store will sell books, newspapers, magazines, music and gifts — and contain a café.

GEORGETOWN VETERINARY HOSPITAL REOPENS ON PROSPECT STREET

After more than 65 years as a veterinary clinic and 23 years as the Georgetown Veterinary Hospital, under the leadership of Dr. Lee Morgan, the well-known spot for animal care at 2916 M St. NW has moved to 3251 Prospect St. NW, on the ground level inside the courtyard. That space is part of the Georgetown Court complex that includes Cafe Milano, Peacock Café and Brasserie Liberté. (No word about dogs and cats getting any fancy leftovers.)

IN: M.M.LAFLEUR OPENS TODAY

Opening on May 8 at 1344 Wisconsin Ave. NW — on the corner that once held “Doc” Dalinsky’s legendary Georgetown Pharmacy — is women’s clothing store M.M.LaFleur, home of the “Power Casual” look.

“Founder and CEO, Sarah LaFleur, got her start as a management consultant,” the company tells us. “Frustrated by a lack of women’s workwear options that were both stylish and practical, she teamed up with Miyako Nakamura (the former head designer of Zac Posen) and Narie Foster to launch M.M.LaFleur in 2013.”

IN: SÉZANE FROM PARIS

The ladies are impressed. Sézane opened on May 3 at 1211 Wisconsin Ave. NW, in the former Tory Burch store. The 10-year-old French fashion brand is known for its timeless, elegant designs — “and signature pieces are crafted with quality materials and attention to detail,” wrote one reviewer.

IN: WINGO’S RETURNS

Rejoice, neighbors and students! Wingo’s finally reopened in its original location at 3207 O St. NW. The popular chicken carry-out — known for buffalo and hot wings, burgers and spicy French fries — was shuttered for years after a June 2018 fire.

IN: OLFACTORY NYC

Two weeks ago, Olfactory NYC opened its first retail boutique in Washington, D.C., at 3242 M St. NW. The space once held Marine Layer (relocating) and, before that, Godiva Chocolatier. The company tells us: “Founded in New York City by JJ Vittoria in 2017, Olfactory NYC is a revolutionary new concept in modern fine fragrance.” There are three locations in New York City and one in Boston.

IN: NEW BALANCE

New Balance, the sports footwear and apparel manufacturer, opened last week at 3139 M St. NW, the former home of Old Glory BBQ and, more recently, José Andrés’s America Eats Tavern. Founded in Boston in 1906 as the New Balance Arch Support Company, NB seeks to give its footwear customers greater orthopedic support with the help of 3D scans.

SOON: CLUB PILATES

A Club Pilates will open soon in the former Paddywax Candle Bar space — the second floor above South Moon Under — at 1065 Wisconsin Ave. NW. The mind-body exercise regimen has been a “movement of movement” since the early 20th century. Now with more than 600 franchises in North America, the boutique fitness company, based in Irvine, California, was founded in 2007 in San Diego.

MOVED: HELA MEDICAL SPA

Launched by Dr. Jonathan Drysdale more than 17 years ago, Hela Medical Spa is known for its skin care, aesthetic and regenerative medicine and body contouring. After a fire

in August at its original location, the business moved one block east and across the street to the Buck Mason building: 3128 M St. NW, third-floor penthouse level.

2 KEYS FOR GEORGETOWN’S ROSEWOOD HOTEL

Using keys as rating symbols, the Michelin Guide released its first guide to hotels in select U.S. markets. Seven were recognized in Washington, D.C. Georgetown’s Rosewood hotel on 31st Street earned two keys, as did the Jefferson on 16th Street. The Rosewood wrote on social media of the accolade: “We are thrilled to announce that Rosewood Washington, D.C. has been awarded 2 MICHELIN Keys. This esteemed recognition celebrates our commitment to excellence and exceptional service. Thank you to our dedicated team and loyal guests for making this achievement possible.”

Earning one Michelin key: The Eaton DC at McPherson Square, the Pendry at the Wharf, the Riggs Washington DC in Penn Quarter, the Dupont Circle Hotel and the Hay-Adams.

OUT: BIG WHEEL BIKES

It’s the end of an era, for sure. Serving D.C., Maryland and Virginia since 1971, familyowned and -operated Big Wheel Bikes has been known for bike rentals, sales and mechanical service for more than 50 years. Last week, its Georgetown shop at 1034 33rd St. NW, next to

the C&O Canal, shut down, as did its Bethesda location. The Arlington and Old Town shops? Still rolling.

OUT: MARCEL’S (BY MOTHER’S DAY)

After celebrating the 25th anniversary of his flagship restaurant at 2401 Pennsylvania Ave. NW — three blocks from Georgetown — in March, Robert Wiedmaier will close Marcel’s, his fine-dining standout, on May 12.

One of Washington’s most respected chefs, Wiedmaier wrote: “Despite our best efforts, Marcel’s was unable to reach lease terms with the new building owner and will not be renewing its lease. Marcel’s is the flagship of the RW Restaurant Group, which has opened over 10 brands with three locations still open in Maryland and Virginia and soon to be four when Mussel Bar & Grille in Bethesda opens next month. We owe a debt of gratitude to our dedicated staff, past and present, whose talent and hard work have contributed to Marcel’s success over the years.”

OUT: NISOLO ON M

Started in 2011, Nisolo is an eco-friendly, sustainable, living-wage shoe brand. Founder Patrick Woodyard is all about the artisans getting their classic products to market with a fair deal. Nisolo’s second-ever store, which opened at 3251 M St. NW, is now closed. The company’s flagship is in Nashville.

This year, the Georgetown Garden Club celebrates its 100th birthday with a garden tour that nods to the past while saluting the future with thoroughly modern design.

Some of the eight gardens on the tour belonged to the famous or infamous (remember John Edwards? Dominique Strauss-Kahn?), some to people with good taste and the money to flaunt it and some to hoary Georgetown cave-dwellers — though these properties in no way resemble caves.

Waiting to please and inspire, each of the featured gardens beckons with docents and gardeners on hand, well-versed in plants, resources and horticultural wisdom. Some of the gardens are defined by expansive spaces surrounding shimmering pools and eating areas; others are more intimate: outdoor rooms

that connect with the living areas inside.

Many boast water features, more commonly known as pools, though a few have fountains.

One house on the west side of Georgetown includes two statues of the Buddha, one a large head peering out over a mass of hydrangea, another a sitting Buddha watching over an outdoor dining area. That house features flowering pinks and purples framed by two old and twisty juniper trees that wouldn’t be out of place at a hillside temple. Bluestone, in a “piano key” pattern, alternates with bricks, the horizontal layers of pattern on the ground reflected in the vertical layers of plants along the garden walls.

Another garden offers visitors precisely espaliered apple trees. The trees face planting on the garage that comes straight from an

The 94th Georgetown Garden Tour

BY LEE CHILD AND ALISON SCHAFER

Garden Club is required to do its work in Georgetown, but its members, like garden club members from around the country, lobby on Capitol Hill for protections for parks and green spaces, push for recycling projects and build green spaces and plant trees in diverse neighborhoods. Garden clubs support young horticulturists, run programs that introduce children to nature and plant vegetable gardens to get fresh produce to people who need it. The Garden Club of America provides scholarships for budding botanists, urban forestry experts and pollinator researchers, among others.

The Georgetown Garden Club aims to promote greater understanding of the links between plants, environmental protection and community improvement. This work is abundantly evident throughout Georgetown. On May 11, as visitors disappear behind high walls into the secret gardens on the tour, they can thank both the Georgetown Garden Club and their local garden club for all the work they do to make life a little more beautiful.

Gardens on the Tour

English cottage garden: climbing pink roses swooping over purple-headed clumps of catnip. Paths laid with old bricks in a herringbone pattern lead visitors to a multi-trunked Kousa dogwood. The interplay between the house and the garden means snoops can peer into the dining and living rooms through the big windows on the garden.

Yet another, owned by an architect, is packed to the gills with outdoor antiques. The house’s owner uses the bottom of an old balcony as a table. It sits near two iron benches from the 1925 Paris Exhibition, not far from an 18th-century sundial. All of this is framed by a green wall covered entirely in ivy and a 300-year-old Osage orange tree, much older than the venerable Georgetown Garden Club and, indeed, a couple of decades older than Georgetown itself.

Comprising gardens on both the east and west sides of Wisconsin Avenue, the tour provides

the perfect opportunity to see the grandeur that is Georgetown, its magnificent parks and historic landmarks, from Tudor Place to the Dumbarton Oaks Conservancy. The latter, accessed down Lovers Lane, is a “wilderness” designed by Beatrix Farrand. It is in the middle of a comprehensive renovation which will take it back to its original opulence.

Founded in 1924, the Georgetown Garden Club may sound reminiscent of old ladies in lace-up shoes and sturdy tweed arranging peonies, but it does, in fact, an enormous amount of work making the neighborhood’s green pockets the beautiful places they are. All proceeds from the tour go directly back into the greening of Georgetown; without the garden club, Georgetown would be an uglier place.

Filled with avid conservationists, the club is responsible for much of the planting and maintenance on Book Hill and in Volta, Montrose and Rose Parks. The Georgetown

Luxury Linens

Sophisticated Summer Wardrobe

BY ALLYSON BURKHARDT

Prepare for the warm weather with luxurious, lightweight linen. Breathable and airy, the woven fiber is a favorite for summer sensibility. With a distinguished heritage and cooling properties, linen’s reputation as a premium textile is well deserved. Its production originated in ancient Egypt and it was quickly adopted among the affluent for its delicate composition and durable nature.

Made from the flax plant, the development from seed to fabric is labor-intensive, which comes with a cost. It is also both energy- and water-efficient, making it one of the most ecoconscious selections in the fashion market.

As temperatures rise, comfort takes precedence, but it can be done with class. While the natural fiber helps regulate the effects of humidity on the body and soothes the skin, its leisurely style lends itself to sophisticated silhouettes, allowing for movement and flexibility.

Who doesn’t admire the polished perfection of a flowy dress, crisp blazer, breezy pant or graceful top? Since linen is organic in nature, other natural materials such as cotton, denim, wool and silk are easily woven into it, creating more complex textiles. The composition itself will relax with time, adding to its longevity.

If you are looking to accessorize, a raffia handbag adds softness to a look while a leather belt creates structure. Another advantage is that linen absorbs dye beautifully and with consistency. Modern-day palettes favor neutral colors ranging from creamy whites to earthy rusts and browns, with just a sprinkling of more vibrant hues such as yellows and blues. The timeless whisper of linen remains a signature of refinement in warm-we ather wear.

‘An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s’

AN EXQUISITE ODE TO A PIVOTAL DECADE IN AMERICA

REVIEWED BY KITTY KELLEY

The Bible’s “Parable of the Talents” (Matthew 25:14-30) instructs on how to live a worthwhile life. A master leaves his mansion to take a long trip, entrusting his silver to his servants. To one, he gives five bags, to another, two bags, and to the last servant, one bag. Many months later, the master returns and asks for an accounting. The servant given five bags has invested wisely and doubled his silver, as has the second servant. The master is pleased and praises each fulsomely. The third servant says he was afraid of losing his bag, so he buried it in the ground.

The master becomes irate and chastises the third servant as wicked and lazy: “To those who use well what they are given, they will have abundance in life. For those who do not, the little they have will be taken away, and they will be thrown into darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Such a master would embrace Doris Kearns Goodwin, for she has used well what she’s been given. Gathering her late husband’s manifold talents, she’s added her own, and burnished both, to write a glorious new memoir: “An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of

the 1960s.”

Richard Goodwin (1931–2018) and Doris Kearns married in 1975. The New York Times described their wedding as blessed with “New Yorkian style, Washington power and Boston brains.” Each had established strong political allegiances beforehand, which, she admits, frequently caused marital combustion — particularly when they began working on this book, which started out being Richard’s life story.

Deciding, at the age of 80, that he was ready to tackle the 350 boxes of speeches, articles, journals, letters and diaries he’d saved and start writing, he asked his wife for help: “jog my memory, ask me questions.” So they hired a researcher and began what she refers to in the book as their last great adventure together. It lasted until Richard, suffering from cancer, clasped her hand, declared her “a wonder” and passed into a new frontier. After his death, she spent many years conjoining his story with her own to produce this rich and riveting chronicle of the turbulent 1960s.

Long before they wed, Richard was a wunderkind — a prodigy who coined

memorable phrases, including the legendary title of Lyndon Johnson’s legislative agenda, “The Great Society.” However, before he accepted the job in the LBJ White House, he sought permission from Robert F. Kennedy, and then wrote a “Dear Jackie” letter, assuring JFK’s widow: “We will all always be Kennedy men.” He remained totally committed to the Kennedys, having crafted speeches for the president and for both of his politician brothers, weaving words of poetry into policy.

Doris, on the other hand, was fiercely loyal to President Johnson, having worked closely with him in the White House and, later, on his memoir. She admits being troubled by many passages in her husband’s diaries, particularly those dealing with Bobby Kennedy’s animosity toward Johnson and his insensitivity to “the mammoth problems that beset the new president and the country at large.” She became irate when she found a memo her husband had written quoting RFK about the choice of a running mate on LBJ’s 1964 presidential ticket: “When the time comes we’ll tell him who we want for vice-president.”

“Who does he think he is?” she asked her husband, who explained Kennedy was simply venting grief over his brother’s assassination.

“It’s the arrogance of ‘we’ll tell him who we want’ that sticks in my craw.”

The couple’s clash of political loyalties continued “provoking tension.” Doris insisted that civil rights, medical care for the aged, federal aid for education and an overhaul of immigration only became law under President Johnson, while Richard countered that President Kennedy’s leadership set the tone and spirit of the decade. “Both of us looked back upon these years with a decided bias,” she writes. “And our biases were not in harmony.”

Ironically, it was the subject of the Kennedys that would lead to author Goodwin’s first and worst scandal. Eight years prior to winning the Pulitzer Prize for History for “No Ordinary Time: Franklin & Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II,” she published “The

Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys: An American Saga.” In 2002, the Weekly Standard determined that she had plagiarized from several other Kennedy books to write her own, and she publicly admitted she had “failed to provide quotation marks for phrases that I had taken verbatim.”

She subsequently paid a “substantial” sum in damages, was forced to resign from the Pulitzer Prize Board and stepped down as a regular guest on “PBS NewsHour.” She was also dropped from the advisory board of Biographers International Organization and “disinvited” from giving a commencement speech at the University of Delaware.

Most historians could never have survived such public humiliation. But, as she writes in this winning memoir, “I’ve been born with an irrepressible and optimistic temperament.” She charms when she talks about the books she’s written on “my guys” — Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Johnson — and delights as she holds forth on “my Brooklyn Dodgers.” This memoir presents Goodwin’s deepest love as she writes about her husband and the commitment they shared to an era that has yet to fulfill its promise.

Georgetown resident Kitty Kelley has written several number-one New York Times best-sellers, including “The Family: The Real Story Behind the Bush Dynasty.” Her most recent books include “Capturing Camelot: Stanley Tretick’s Iconic Images of the Kennedys” and “Let Freedom Ring: Stanley Tretick’s Iconic Images of the March on Washington.” She serves on the board of BIO (Biographers International Organization) and Washington Independent Review of Books, where this review originally appeared.
