Fritz is recommending Any Given Tuesday, from Lis Smith, It's an irreverent look behind the scenes of American politics by one of the most sought-after political operatives in the Democratic Party. Lis owns the controversial choices that landed her in the tabloids, as well as the unorthodox ones that have paid off and defined her successful career.

The Pale Blue Eye is a brilliant book by Louis Bayard that has been brought to the Netflix screen. It stars Christian Bale as a constable investigating a grisly murder at West Point in 1830. He is assisted by a precociously lyrical fourth classman named Edgar Allan Poe. Yes, Poe did attend West Point for six months. The rest is poetically beautiful fiction. Weezy recommends both book and film.

Quiz Answer:

We can't say for certain, but it certainly looks as though Larry Manetti had very recently complimented Frank's ring.
