Loved this piece and the follow up. Howie is right — what a book or series it would make. Chilling to think of Disraeli’s gesture as a kind of karmic Trojan horse!

Terrific column. Thanks Rich!

Leave it to Jacqueline Kennedy to install the historic desk. Imagine what she might say today!

Thanks Shirley. I am going to post a follow up piece about Jacqueline Kennedy next week.

Could be a great book--or mini series
