‘THE ROAD TO CHARACTER’ BOOK PARTY Constantijn van Oranje-Nassau, Dafna Tapiero and Alan Fleischmann
Bradley Residence | PHOTOS BY TONY POWELL BOOK OF VIRTUES: Atlantic Media Chairman David Bradley and his wife Katherine hosted a book party for New York Times Op-Ed columnist David Brooks. His latest effort, a “treatise on personal morality” titled “The Road to Character,” examines the lives of great thinkers and leaders, including George Eliot, Bayard Rustin and Montaigne, to show how to get on the path towards achieving character. “I wrote this book not knowing if I could follow the road to character,” Brooks wrote in his preface, “but at least I wanted to know what the road looks like and how other people have trod it.” Brooks said that he wrote he book “to save my own soul.”

‘GORE VIDAL: UNITED STATES OF AMNESIA’ POST-SCREENING PARTY The Graham Georgetown | PHOTOS BY TONY POWELL ACERBIC WIT: The late Gore Vidal (1925-2013) was one of the most iconic as well as iconoclastic writers of the post-World War II era and his ties to Washington include being the grandson of a U.S. senator and a student at St. Alban’s School. It was therefore fitting that various family members and friends would be spotted at a party following a recent screening of the documentary “Gore Vidal: The United States of Amnesia.” Produced by his nephew, Burr Steers (the son of local resident Nina Auchincloss Straight), the film is a most entertaining study of an unforgettable and unyielding lion of America’s culture wars.
