Life in the White House,” a celebratory picture book written by Betty C. Monkman and published, in a newly revised 15th edition, by the White House Historical Association.A series of new books shed fresh light on both the building, home to every president and first lady since 1800, and its occupants.
With pictures on practically every page, Monkman’s new edition revives some long-forgotten moments: Dwight Eisenhower in shirtsleeves, wielding a spatula over his barbecue grill outside the Third Floor Solarium; First Lady Hillary Clinton, in pink coat and skirt, guiding a visitor on a tour of sculptures in the East Garden. The late Tom Wolfe wrote inNew York Magazinein1968 that most politicians enter the game not to achieve fame, money, power, or policy goals: “It’s more…seeing people jump.
It’s a feeling…knowing that anywhere they go, people will move for them, give way, run errands, gather around…and jump.”In this, too, the White House represents the pinnacle. If the president should decide he wants Chinese food and a tennis racquet at 3 a.m., the White House staff — populated not just by familiar political appointees but with servants, cleaning crews, carpenters, sommeliers, groundskeepers, a small village of federal personnel — will jump to see he gets it.The luxury of the White House is on display in a new edition, released this year, of “Wine and the White House: A History,” a lavishly illustrated coffee table book that was also published by the White House Historical Association, with text supplied by Frederick J.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Oscar-nominated sound mixer Steve Morrow has recorded quite a few party scenes in his career, in movies such as “Don’t Worry Darling,” “The Prom” and “Babylon.” When it came to Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro,” Morrow had to figure out how to capture the sound in a prominent party scene that takes place at the Bernstein family apartment in the Dakota Building in New York.

Morrow knew how the film would transition visually, but his team was tasked with capturing sound from both Felicia’s and Lenny’s (Cooper) circles.
