HEALTH &amp; SAFETY: WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE WEAR A FACE MASK WHILE INDOORS FOR OUR EVENTS. THANK YOU.We love Maureen Dowd’s weekly takedowns and roundups of the personalities who have defined the news cycle. We have loved her as a political commentator, a cultural observer, and more important, as a social critic of our time. She’s not just about politics. Her new book Notorious features some of her great interviews with those who not only define the news, but visionaries who have created our American cultural identity. They’re chatty, funny, and of course deeply absorbing profiles of our most, well, notorious legends, moguls, tech titans, and creatives. What a range: Paul Newman; Idris Elba; Tina Fey; Elon Musk; Jane Fonda; Larry David; Mel Brooks.Let politics go for an evening and enjoy one of America’s great journalists as she explores touchstones in our culture, who have become some of the most notorious individuals in the world.In conversation with Todd Purdum.
