In this month's Kiplinger magazine, the book "Unwise Passions: a True Story of a Remarkable Woman...and The First Great Scandal of Eighteenth Century America" by Alan Pell Crawford....is reviewed. It is the story of Ann Cary Randolph who has an affair with her brother in law Richard Randolph (yes, her sister married a cousin of both of them; in the 18th century the saying was that only a Randolph is good enough to marry a Randolph. She goes from bad to worse and is generally credited with "bringing down" the reputation of the family with one of the most prestigious names in late eighteenth century America. Additional reviews and comments can be found on the www.amazon.com page and the book can be purchased "used" (only technically, the plastic overwrap is gone) for $5.77 plus about 3 bucks postage. While we have one remote Randolph connection, this one appealed to me as somethiing of a chronicle of the times. I ordered it. Maynard
