Bradlee dean biography of abraham
The New Yorker, October 21, 1996 P. 221
SOCIAL HISTORY about the Georgetown social set which was the epicenter of the Washington policy and social establishment during the Cold War. The most famous story about Georgetown illustrates its influence on and intimacy with the political world: on January 21, 1961, after the Inaugural Ball, President John F. Kennedy visited influential Washington columnist Joseph Alsop at his Georgetown apartment and didn't return to the White House until after 3:00 A.M. The Georgetown set had its beginnings in the New Deal. Its peak was the New Frontier, when many of the decisions in the councils of state were made among neighbors. And its fall was the Vietnam War: the shattering of the foreign-policy establishment and the shattering of Washington society were one and the same thing. The Georgetown set during the Cold War days included Katherine and Philip Graham, Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Dean Acheson, and other powerful figures. Joe Alsop and his wife Susan Mary Alsop were the hosts of Georgetown, and Joe's soirees featured a true mixture of old and wise, brilliant and young. During WWII, Alsop supported intervention, and after the war, war and C.I.A. connections served to bring the Georgetown set closer. Alsop was a champion against McCarthyism, although his homosexuality made him vulnerable to attacks. The Vietnam War became the nemisis of the Cold Warriors in the set; Alsop goaded L.B.J. to escalate the war. Alsop became a self-parody during this time, yelling at people at parties. By the late '60s, many of the old Georgetown set had left or died, and the remainders had lost most of their influence. Alsop died in 1989. After Watergate, the Washington whirl was led by the Washington Post editor, Benjamin Bradlee; this was a time of Republican dominance. The succession of Presidents after Nixon served as markers of the slow decline of Georgetown; only Nancy Reagan seemed to have an interest in Georgetown.

Ben Bradlee, recently remarried, is a European correspondent for Newsweek. He left the embassy for Newsweek in 1953, a year before CIA director Allen Duller authorized one of his most skilled and fanatical agents, former OSS operative James Angleton, to set up a counterintelligence staff. As chief of counterintelligence, Angleton has become the liaison for all Allied intelligence and has been given authority over the sensitive Israeli desk, through which the CIA is receiving 80 percent of its information on the KGB. Bradlee is in a position to help Angleton with the Israelis in Paris, and they are connected in other ways as well: Bradlee's wife, Tony Pinchot, Vassar '44, and her sister Mary Pinchot Meyer, Vassar '42, are close friends with Cicely d'Autremont, Vassar '44, who married James Angleton when she was a junior, the year he graduated from Harvard Law School and was recruited into the OSS by one of his former professors at Yale. Also at Harvard in 1943, as undergraduates, were Bradlee and a man named Richard Ober, who will become Angleton's chief counterintelligence deputy and will work with him in Europe and Washington throughout the fifties, sixties, and early seventies. Both Bradlee and Ober were members of the class of '44 but finished early to serve in the war; both received degrees with the class of '43. Ober went into the OSS and became a liaison with the anti-Fascist underground in Nazi-occupied countries; Bradlee joined naval intelligence, was made a combat communications officer, and handled classified and coded cables on a destroyer in the South Pacific. He then worked for six months as a clerk in the New York office of the American Civil Liberties Union, an organization that promotes various progressive causes, including conscientious objection to war. This job, so out of character for the young patriot,
