By his own admission, John L. Loeb Jr. was born with two silver spoons in my mouth. Descended from the founders of two major Wall Street firms Lehman Brothers and Loeb, Rhoades this former US Ambassador to Denmark weaves his fascinating, poignant personal story with an insider's perspective on diplomacy, the environment, and the social life of New York's elite from the nineteenth century to the present.
