In full: "Thank you so much for your note. I am sorry that the blue
and white pieces went over our bids. Sincerely," Joseph Alsop, Jr.
(1910-1989) was a political journalist whose column, first called "The
Capital Parade" (1937-1940, co-written with Robert E. Kintner) and later renamed
"Matter of Fact" (from 1946) appeared three times a week in 300 U.S.
newspapers. At his retirement, Alsop's column was America's
longest-running one. Alsop called himself and his journalist brother,
Stewart, "very square New Deal liberals", but his foreign policy views were
more conservative. Stewart had co-written "Matter of Fact" with Joseph from
1946-1958, going on to write for the "Saturday Evening Post" and "Newsweek".
