Summary of Julia Reed's Dispatches from the Gilded Age

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had a career because the all-male board at my junior-year college decided to replace our brilliant but decidedly masculine headmistress with a woman who was in the process of eclipsing her in the affections of her lover. #2 Benji, a journalist, was 19 years old when he was assigned to cover the story of an all-male college board's decision to replace its headmistress with a woman.
He had none of the typical reactions, but instead threw on clothes and drove to the school. #3 A woman tried to kill her boyfriend, a cardiologist, because he had developed a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that he mailed free of charge to anyone who asked. #4 Tarnower's book thanked Jean Harris for her splendid assistance in the research and writing of this book. Harris was a divorced mother of two grown sons who had been close friends with Tarnower for many years.
