Excerpt: Young Chow was only three blocks away. It wasn’t as splashy as some of the other popular Capitol Hill eateries like We The Pizza or Sonoma. Nevertheless, it offered cheap Chinese and sushi lunch specials prepared in ten minutes or less. The anteroom of the restaurant provided an element of discretion. A table in the rear almost guaranteed privacy, a rare commodity in Washington.

Excerpt: The Rayburn House Office Building lived up to its namesake. RHOB, as it was known, could be described as functional, expansive, and state-of-the-art during its heyday.

Given these amenities, Rayburn was a favorite office location for senior, powerful members of Congress like Edwards.

Excerpt: "Lots of caricatures on the walls here, “ remarked Meg. We turned around to survey the artwork, which covered almost every inch of the room. It was easy to spot the usual suspects, such as Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and George W. Bush. In addition to famous politicians and journalists, there were a lot of unfamiliar faces, too.
