No pen was more feared in Washington
politics and society than Drew Pearson s.
His syndicated column, "Washington
Merry-Go-Round," won him the sobri-
quet, "Scorpion-on-the-Potomac." In a
career spanning nine presidencies, his mil-
lions of words regularly reached more
Americans than those of any other jour-
nalist.
With his marriage in 1925 to the
daughter of Cissy Patterson ("the most
powerful and perhaps the most hated
woman in America") --granddaughter
of Joseph Medill (founder of the Chicago
Tribune) and sister of Captain Joseph
M. Patterson (founder of the New York
Daily News)--Drew Pearson entered
with passport the corridors of political,
social and sexual intrigue which were to
fascinate him to the end of his life.
Able and willing to humiliate cabinet
secretaries, enrage Presidents, embarrass
the military, expose corrupt Congressmen
and Senators, Pearson s intelligence sys-
tem infuriated almost everyone he had
reason to attack.
