  An eighteen-year-old debutante. And a dashing young Robert Morgenthau

  One of the high points in our lives, literally and figuratively: reaching the pinnacle of Mount Sinai, just before it was returned to Egypt

  On the trail of a story

  An early high point—finding out that, at age twenty-four, I’d just become the youngest woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, and the first woman to win for national reporting

  Three generations of public service—from left to right: Bob’s brother, Henry Morgenthau III; their father, Henry Morgenthau Jr; their grandfather Henry Morgenthau I; and Bob himself

  More illustrious company—from left to right: New York governor Nelson Rockefeller, Italian ambassador Sergio Fenoaltea, President John F. Kennedy, Bob, and Mayor Robert F. Wagner of New York City, at the Columbus Day Parade in 1962

  Bob riding through New York City with JFK in 1962

  Bob, an early supporter of the civil rights movement, meets one of his heroes on the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard

  Interviewing Robert Redford on the set of Three Days of the Condor in 1974

  Never scared of a little controversy, Bob and I were always full-blown supporters of Israel. Here we are in 1983 with Ariel Sharon and his wife, Lily, on their farm; and here I am, shaking the hand of Shimon Peres, the then–Israeli prime minister, while Bob and Ed Koch look on.

  Sometimes you have to go to great lengths to get your story, literally: on a plane to Africa with Hillary Clinton in March 1999, in pursuit of an exclusive interview

  Our son, Josh, and I providing Bob with a bit of support on the campaign trail as he faces his first challenger for the office of DA

  But it wasn’t always business. Here we are, with Josh and our daughter, Amy, happy and off duty, in the apple orchards at the idyllic Fishkill Farms

  Josh and Amy, then eighteen and twelve, make us proud

  The whole Morgenthau clan: from left to right, Paul Grand, Annie, Jenny, Barbara, Noah Grand, Hilary Grand, Harry Morgenthau, Bobby, Susan, Josh, Amy, me, and Bob

  And one of our closest friends, Marina Kaufman, who organized virtually every detail of our wedding ceremony, and stuck by our side throughout the marriage that followed

  Bob and me at a dinner dance during the early years of our marriage

  Still in love after all these years
