Sunday Scoop: Reversal of fortune

If you are having trouble viewing this email, click here.

In Manhattan's '80s go-go era, Saul Steinberg was one of the biggest fish swimming in Wall Street's sea of fast-flowing cash. A corporate raider who orchestrated hostile takeovers of vulnerable companies, he became a billionaire with a ruthless reputation — and a love of living large. Steinberg owned Nelson Rockefeller's former 36-room triplex at the uber-elite 740 Park Ave. and stuffed it full of Old Master paintings. For his 50th birthday party, models even recreated scenes from his favorite artworks. He helped make his extended family rich, too. "It felt like nothing could touch us," recalls his niece, fashion designer Liz Lange. But, as she and other relatives reveal in a new podcast, "The Just Enough Family," when their reversal of fortune eventually came, Steinberg fell hard and fast. Read all about these "Jewish Kennedys'" stunning life of privilege and subsequent descent below. Also, filmmaker Gina M. Garcia tells The Post about the horrific real-life experience that inspired her new movie, "Untold." At age 8, she was kidnapped and assaulted by a man now believed to be the same fiend who abducted and murdered Adam Walsh in 1981. "Her case is so much like Adam's," the boy's father, "America's Most Wanted" host John Walsh, tells The Post. There's lots more to read in the roundup below, including a vibrant interview with Tony winner Annaleigh Ashford (now playing Paula Jones — the Arkansas state employee who accused Bill Clinton of sexual harassment in 1994) and fall's ultimate reading list.
