    4pm                  RMRT President's Program featuring author Pulitzer Prize-Winning author, Debby Applegate, speaking on her new book MADAM, the Biography of Polly Adler, Icon of the Jazz Age.  "Polly Adler was a diminutive dynamo whose Manhattan brothels were more than an oasis of illicit sex, where men paid top dollar for the company of her girls; they were also swinging salons where the culturati and high society partied with the elite of showbiz, politics, ad organized crime -- and had a hell of a time."   I'm reading it now and it's an exciting story!
