The famous psychic and healer, Edgar Cayce, was providing clues in the "life readings" he gave nearly a century ago to the location of a lost Hall of Records. This hidden chamber is said to contain historical archives and artifacts from the most remote times in prehistory. Yet, it remains undiscovered. Most people have assumed that it will be found in a chamber under the Sphinx at Giza, but all attempts to locate it there have met with failure. At last the evidence has been reevaluated outside of the traditional thinking, to reveal incredible new conclusions that are difficult to argue. The sphinx that guards the Hall of Records is not the Giza Sphinx at all, but rather a sphinx star constellation in the night sky. And the Hall of Records is not below the ground, but rather elevated up among the stars at the top of the great middle pyramid at Giza. Finally, we can point directly to a spot and say with confidence, "This is where the Hall of Records will be found." The facts are irrefutable!

For most of three decades, Drew Pearson was the most well-known journalist in the United States. In his daily newspaper column—the most widely syndicated in the nation—and on radio and television broadcasts, he chronicled the political and public policy news of the nation. At the same time, he worked his way into the inner circles of policy makers in the White House and Congress, lobbying for issues he believed would promote better government and world peace. Pearson, however, still found time to record his thoughts and observations in his personal diary. Published here for the first time, Washington Merry-Go-Round presents Pearson’s private impressions of life inside the Beltway from 1960 to 1969, revealing how he held the confidence of presidents—especially Lyndon B. Johnson—congressional leaders, media moguls, political insiders, and dozens of otherwise unknown sources of information. His direct interactions with the DC glitterati, including Bobby Kennedy and Douglas MacArthur, are featured throughout his diary, drawing the reader into the compelling political intrigues of 1960s Washington and providing the mysterious backstory on the famous and the notorious of the era.
