Title: On DuPont Circle
Description: On the eve of World War I, twelve young people came together in Washington, D.C.'s tony Dupont Circle neighborhood. They were ambitious for personal and social advancement, and what bound them together was a sheer determination to remake America and the rest of the world in their progressive image. The group mixed cocktails, foreign policy, and bed-mates as they set out to remake the world. For the next twenty years they pursued increasingly important careers as their private lives become ever more entangled. On the eve of WWII, the group came together again for a second chance at history-- this time the result was the United Nations.
