Green Book of Washington Society Stirred Criticism and Status
Washington social register called The Social List of Washington DC, the Green Book, lists 5 000 names with addresses and phone numbers for the capital elite. Publisher Carolyn Hagner Shaw rejects special treatment and explains criteria for entry including birth, wealth, position, and Washington residence. Names like President Lyndon Johnson and Justice William Douglas appear though omissions and removals draw controversy. Monthly subscription costs 17 50 with about 15 000 copies sold yearly. Shaw, known for her cautious management, directs a four‑woman board and keeps a low profile while shaping Washington society.

The Fed and its evolving mission in American policy
The narrative traces the Federal Reserve's shift from price stability under the 1913 Act to a broader remit including full employment and growth. It notes tensions between goals as administrations balance employment with price stability and mentions suspending one aim to stabilize another, likening the concept to Roebling’s cable suspension design used on the Brooklyn Bridge.
