BOOKS: Perle Mesta, the renowned social queen of Washington
The widow of a steel magnate, socialite Perle Mesta used her fortune to host inclusive dinner parties in Washington, D.C., in the 1940s and ’50s, becoming known as “The Hostess with the Mostes’ on the Ball” (after Irving Berlin celebrated her in the musical, “Call Me Madam”). Mesta became one of the most famous women in the world, and her influence – on politics and on the social scene – is examined by Meryl Gordon in her new biography, “The Woman Who Knew Everyone.” CBS News’ Erin Moriarty talks with Gordon; with 99-year-old former journalist Marie Ridder, who attended some of Mesta’s parties; and with Washington insider Sally Quinn, who doubts that any power broker today could pull off what Mesta once did so brilliantly: getting Democrats and Republicans to sit down at a dinner table and see eye-to-eye.

U.S.: Climate scientist: “There’s no place that’s safe”
In 2022, climate scientist Peter Kalmus moved his family out of Altadena, California, to North Carolina, to a place he hoped would be “less fiery.” His old house burned to the ground in last week’s wildfires, while North Carolina suffered the effects of Hurricane Helene last fall. Kalmus tells correspondent Tracy Smith he hopes people are finally listening to warnings about climate change. Smith also talks with amateur meteorologist Edgar McGregor, who warned his fellow Altadena residents to get out as the flames approached; and with John Vaillant, author of “Fire Weather: On the Front Lines of a Burning World.”

He spoke with CBS News contributor Lisa Ling about the importance of making a difference; and about caring for his late father, Stanley, whom he calls his “anchor,” and whom he writes about in the book “Time to Thank: Caregiving for My Hero.”
