Daughter of Spies

Elizabeth Winthrop Alsop

As a child, Elizabeth Winthrop Alsop, along with her five brothers, was raised to revere the tribal legends of the Alsop and Roosevelt families. Her parents’ marriage, lived in the spotlight of 1950s Washington where the author’s father, journalist Stewart Alsop, grew increasingly famous, was not what either of her parents had imagined it would be. Her mother’s strict Catholicism and her father’s restless ambition collided to create a strangely muted and ominous world, one that mirrored the whispered conversations in the living room as the power brokers of Washington came and went through their side door. Through it all, her mother, trained to keep secrets as a decoding agent with MI5, said very little. In this brave memoir, the author explores who her mother was, why alcohol played such an important role in her mother’s life, and why her mother held herself apart from all her children, especially her only daughter. In the author’s journey to understand her parents, particularly her mother, she comes to realize that the secrets parents keep are the ones that reverberate most powerfully in the lives of their children.

Truthfulness - The Unvarnished...

Esther Jameson

Truth is often regarded as a simple concept—something either is or it isn’t. Yet, when examined more closely, truth reveals itself to be one of the most profound and complex forces in human existence. It transcends the surface of facts and ventures into realms shaped by perception, experience, culture, and belief. Understanding the nature of truth requires more than a definition; it demands a deep exploration of how we relate to reality itself.
At its core, truth is commonly defined as that which aligns with fact or reality. However, facts can be interpreted differently depending on one’s background, intentions, and emotional state. Objective truth refers to things that remain constant regardless of personal opinions—scientific laws, historical events, and physical evidence fall into this category. Subjective truth, on the other hand, is shaped by personal perspective. It’s the kind of truth we feel rather than prove: our experiences, emotions, and beliefs about the world. Both forms are valid in their own domains, but problems often arise when subjective truth is presented as universally objective.
Culture also plays a significant role in shaping our understanding of truth. In some societies, truth is seen as communal—a shared agreement among people, traditions, or religious teachings. In others, truth is fiercely individual, something one must discover for oneself. This cultural lens can influence what people consider acceptable or unacceptable, right or wrong, honest or deceptive. What might be considered an innocent omission in one culture could be seen as a serious lie in another.
