Scope and Contents

The document discusses the rise of a husband-and-wife team, the Dickersons, in high society in Washington, D.C. They have become prominent figures in real estate and finance, socializing with influential people and hosting lavish parties. However, their sudden wealth and success are now in question, as the husband was recently fired from his job at a top corporation. Another individual, W. DeVier Pierson, is also mentioned in connection with the Dickersons, but he denies any ongoing involvement with their business ventures. The Dickersons have been able to entertain high-profile guests from both political parties, but their connections to the Democratic-controlled Congress remain important.
