| | Neocon Coffee Klatch at White House - The Sleuth |
 | | President Bush, noted bookworm, held a private confab with leading neoconservatives in the dining room of the White House residence Wednesday afternoon, hosting British historian Andrew Roberts, author of one of the president's favorite recent books, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples Since 1900. |
 | | Others who attended the coffee klatch included: historian Gertrude Himmelfarb, the wife of Irving Kristol -- a founder of the neoconservative moment -- and mother of Bill Kristol; Allen Guelzo, author of the book Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation; and Irwin Stelzer, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, which lists a "senior advisor" named Lewis Libby. |
 | | We're told there was no discussion, however, at the private White House meeting of the Libby trial and the possible impending verdict. |
