Intriguing power shifts. Is concept of "Society" becoming extinct?
Author of Sunday cover story is widow of former editor of Wash. Post during Watergate era. It has sadly devolved since then.
Sally Quinn on old days: "What I had once thought was [exciting]...filled with power and celebrity [did not appeal]....We almost lost our democracy, and many even lost our lives."
MEOWW!
Sally Quinn: White House Corrrespondents Assoc. Dinner [first] "stultifyingly boring," [next] "a...circus" [gawking at third-rate celebrities, then turning back to boring with Trump a no-show].
Wrapping Up: Quinn notes the "center" of DC's soft power of social networking may move to the many embassies in the city. Seems sensible to me!

The soul of this group (WHCA) died when they did not back up Michelle Wolf, their guest host, then caved and got rid of comic host.
