Item description from seller

8vo; Four quarto volumes bound in red leather, all edges gilt, silk ribbon place markers; filled with manuscript entries by Kay Evans and Rowland Evans. These diaries are from the weekend / country home of Rowland and Kay Evans - Bessie Bell Farm in Rappahannock, Virginia, begining with an entry about reanting a van and moving in some furniture to September 2007 noting the completion of renovations upstairs. The four volumes cover the periods: 1973-1980, 1981-1989, 1889-1999, and 2000-2007 Sample entries: "May 15-16 -- Kay sick after fighting The Pet Show battle for the last time. conspicuous success at Ethel's" [Ethel Kennedy, Kay's good friend]. "March 27-28 K & R, cold rainy Saturday so we drove over to Butler Mtn. to lunch with David and Susan Brinkley. Lovely place, but no mansion. Sunday beautiful and warm." and "September 16-17 Came down after [Rowley's] appearance on CNN with Novak interviewing George Dubya Bush!! . He did wonderfully and we had many calls . Dubya was really sweet to R in minutes before the show went live ." PROVENANCE: Katherine "Kay" Winton Evans was a Washington writer and editor and with her husband political columnist and television journalist Rowland Evans, Jr. a major figure in the social life of Georgetown, Washington, DC from the 1960s on. Mrs. Evans grew up in Minnesota outside Minneapolis on the shore of Lake Minnetonka; her father David J. Winton was president of the Winton Lumber Company. She graduated from the Putney School in Vermont and was a 1946 graduate of Vassar College, where she was editor of the Vassar Chronicle. After college she worked on the editorial page of The Minneapolis Times, and moved to Washington in 1948 where she met and married Rowland Evans, Jr., then a reporter for the Associated Press Washington Hill bureau. Mrs. Evans was on staff of Senator Hubert H. Humphrey and later for Senator Paul H. Douglas. In 1980 she became the managing editor of The Washington Journalism Review, a publication on the press and in 1983 became editor, a position she held until 1987. Mrs. Evans was a trustee for Vassar College for 15 years. Their home was the site of many memorable gatherings of influential and remarkable people from journalism, politics and general society over the decades from the 1960s to the 2000s. Kay Winton Evans husband Rowland Evans, was a provocative newspaper columnist, commentator and author who antagonized liberal politicians and championed conservative causes. He left Yale and enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1942 during World War II and was discharged in 1944 because of malaria. In 1963, Mr. Evans and Mr. Novak began writing ''Inside Report,'' an insider's view of politics that was published four times a week until Mr. Evans retired in 1993. Mr. Evans and Robert Novak began their work as columnists in the early 1960's, a time when newspaper columnists wielded outsize influence in national politics. The pair pioneered in transferring that influence to the medium of cable television with the political discussion program ''Evans & Novak'' -- carried on CNN from that cable network's beginning. Rowland Evans and his wife Kay (Katherine Winton Evans), also a respected writer and editor, were mainstays on the Washington social scene, hosting many memorable gatherings in their handsome Georgetown house -- to which flocked influential and remarkable people drawn from journalism, politics and general society over the decades from the 1960s to the 2000s. Both Evans and Novak became more predictably conservative over the years, particularly during the Reagan years. Reportedly, both columnists voted for JFK in 1960 and for Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Evans earned a place on Richard Nixon's infamous "Enemies List." Novak reported that Evans had JFK as a guest for the first dinner party the latter attended as President Elect. Kay and Rowland Evans has a particularly close friendship with Robert F. Kennedy, his wife Ethel and their family.…
