ABOUT | The authors
Gene Weingarten, 54, writes "Below The Beltway,
a nationally syndicated humor column that originates in The Washington
Post magazine.
This book grew out of a dialogue Weingarten had with readers in a national online chat on the morning of the death of his cantankerous, thickheaded, comical, obstinate, beloved 13-year-old Labrador retriever, Harry S Truman. This book is for Harry.

editor.
He was named "Photographer of the Year" by the National Press Photographers Association in 1995, and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1990 and 2000. Williamson is a staff photographer at the Washington Post.
