Question: In the book "A Writer's Life" by Gay Talese, on of the stories told is about a piece being rejected by the legally-titled "Lady Evans", then the editor of "The New Yorker", that focused on what couple?
Context: Bill Barich (born 1943 in Winona, Minnesota) is an American writer.  He grew up on Long Island and graduated from Colgate University in 1965.  Subsequently, he served in the U.S. Peace Corps in eastern Nigeria (Biafra), then settled in northern California where many of his books are set.  He published "Laughing in the Hills", his first book, a classic account of racetrack life, in 1980.  William Shawn, editor of "The New Yorker", ran a two-part excerpt from the book and appointed Barich a staff writer.  His contributions over the next fifteen years fall into three categories: travel and the sporting life; reportage; and short fiction.  "Traveling Light", his account of a sojourn abroad in Italy and England, appeared in 1984, after which he won a Guggenheim Fellowship in Fiction.  His other books include "Hard to Be Good" (stories); "Big Dreams: Into the Heart of California" (travel); "Carson Valley" (novel); "Crazy for Rivers" (angling/autobiography); and "A Fine Place to Daydream" (travel/racing).  Barich's work has been included in "Best American Short Stories" and many other anthologies.  In addition to "The New Yorker", he has contributed to "Esquire", "Sports Illustrated", "American Poetry Review", "Salon", "Narrative", and other magazines and journals, and he is a Literary Laureate of the San Francisco Public Library.  He travels between Santa Monica, California and Dublin, Ireland.  He has also written a book entitled "A Pint of Plain," an account of his setting out to find a traditional authentic Irish pub.  It is a lament of sorts as he is seeking the famous Pat Cohen-type pub of the John Wayne film "The Quiet Man."  In 2010, Barich published Long Way Home: On the Trail of Steinbeck's America," his account of a 5,943-mile cross-country trip undertaken in the autumn of 2008 just prior to the presidential election.  He assesses the state of the nation in much the same way John Steinbeck did almost fifty years ago in "Travels With Charley."  From 2010 through 2012 he worked as the lead writer on the HBO series Luck about horses and racing created by David Milch and starring Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte. Gerald Foos is the former owner of the Manor House Motel, which operated in Aurora, Colorado.  He was the subject of Gay Talese's 2016 article "The Voyeur's Motel" in "The New Yorker", in which Talese disclosed that Foos was a long time voyeur of those staying in his hotel, having installed grilles in the ceiling of most of the rooms that enabled him to view his guests without their knowledge.  Foos' observational focus was the sexual activities of those staying at the Manor House. The Kingdom and the Power: Behind the Scenes at The New York Times: The Institution That Influences the World is a 1969 book by Gay Talese about the inner workings of "The New York Times", the newspaper where Talese had worked for 12 years.  The book was originally subtitled "The Story of The Men Who Influence The Institution That Influences the World."  The book is credited with starting the trend of "media books" as noted by "Portfolio" at the New York University School of Journalism, books that "portraying the inner-workings of a media establishment, turning the tables on the people who write and report the news, and making them the subject." Fame and Obscurity: A Book About New York, a Bridge, and Celebrities on the Edge was a 1970 book by Gay Talese.  The book was a collection of many of Talese's works for "Esquire" about New York City, and also includes his most famous celebrity profiles: "", "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" and "The Silent Season of a Hero". A Writer's Life is a 2006 autobiography by Gay Talese.  The book focuses on many of the stories that Talese attempted to tell, but failed, such as spending six months working on a story about John and Lorena Bobbitt for "The New Yorker" only to have the piece rejected by "New Yorker" editor Tina Brown. "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" is a profile of Frank Sinatra written by Gay Talese for the April 1966 issue of "Esquire".  The article is one of the most famous pieces of magazine journalism ever written and is often considered not only the greatest profile of Frank Sinatra but one of the greatest celebrity profiles ever written.  The profile is one of the seminal works of New Journalism and is still widely read, discussed and studied.  In the 70th anniversary issue of "Esquire" in October 2003, the editors declared the piece the "Best Story Esquire Ever Published".  "Vanity Fair" called it "the greatest literary-nonfiction story of the 20th century". Unto the Sons is a 1992 book by Gay Talese.  The book traces the origins of Talese's own family, beginning with his great-grandfather in Maida, Italy, his grandfather who immigrated to Pennsylvania and Talese's father, who immigrated to the United States separately following World War I. Grandfather Stories is a book of 23 historical tales by journalist and novelist Samuel Hopkins Adams.  Three were originally published in "Woman's Day" and 15 in "The New Yorker".  Most of the stories take place in upper New York State, along the Erie Canal.  Those stories told by his grandfather occur in the 1820s; others, when Adams was a boy in the 1870s and 1880s.  Adams does not state how much of the tales is fact and how much is fiction; some are clearly his own memoirs, others are historical fiction, and still others seem to be a reconstruction of his grandfather's life experiences. Gay Talese ( ; born February 7, 1932) is an American writer.  As a journalist for "The New York Times" and "Esquire" magazine during the 1960s, Talese helped to define literary journalism.  Talese's most famous articles are about Joe DiMaggio and Frank Sinatra. Tina Brown CBE (born Christina Hambley Brown; 21 November 1953), is a journalist, magazine editor, columnist, talk-show host and author of "The Diana Chronicles", a biography of Diana, Princess of Wales.  Born a British citizen, she took United States citizenship in 2005 after emigrating in 1984 to edit "Vanity Fair".  She is legally titled Lady Evans.
