The Solomon Scandals A Washington newspaper novel by David Rothman

The Solomon Scandals: A BRIEF video introduction

So what’s Jonathan Stone been up to lately for the Wash­ing­ton Telegram?

In this brief video, less than 40 sec­onds long, Scan­dals author David Roth­man intro­duces the book, this site and Stone.

Roth­man recalls start­ing Scan­dals decades ago on a Nixon-era elec­tric type­writer. “But then they say greed and cor­rup­tion are a lit­tle like a good suit from Brooks Broth­ers—never quite out of style in D.C., Chicago or New York.”

Con­fes­sion: Actu­ally this is our sneaky way of get­ting you to read the plot sum­mary and a three-chapter excerpt, as well as Stone’s inter­view with Roth­man.

Note for iPhone and iPod Touch users: You may not see the green links men­tioned in the video—the ones to the right. If so, just scroll to the bot­tom of the page and choose the non-iPhone view, the “Nor­mal” one.

Sec­ond video: Fact vs. fic­tion. The absolute truth about my trip to the Ober­lin, Ohio, police station.
