“Ask Harry & Louise” (Jaffe): Life’s Questions, Answered

From Michelle Lancaster. Talk to me on Twitter @MichLancaster, email me at [email protected].

The answer to the question, “What is the meaning of life?” may still be 42, but for all your other burning questions, there’s “Ask Harry and Louise.” The column is written by Harry Jaffe and his wife, (you guessed it) Louise. It’s in the Washingtonian and is a pretty entertaining read.

While this is (as far as we know) Louise’s first foray into journalism, Harry is a longtime DC veteran. Jaffe currently writes for The Washington Examiner and Washingtonian magazine. His specialties are the DC government, crime and the local media itself (he writes a column on The Washington Post called “Post Watch”). Jaffe is currently known for his prolific stories and columns on crime and the DC police.

The couple moved to the Borderstan area in the past year, after raising three daughters in the Chevy Chase section of DC.
