   James Kirchick · at 1:07:31

   Secret City by James Kirchick is a sweeping historical investigation into the hidden history of gay Washington and the systematic persecution of homosexual individuals within American government circles over several decades.

   Discussed

   “Kerchik refers repeatedly to memos and notes from the Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee's papers, including summaries by reporter Scott Armstrong and Ted Gup. These papers are held in institutional archives and have been referenced in other discussions of Secret City.”
