1888: In The Mourning
The Dvorak Interrogation and Family Dinner Rituals
Brennan and Mimi Dvorak describe the "John Dvorak treatment" given to anyone new entering the family circle, which involved rigorous interrogation over wine and cognac. Dvorak used these dinners to vet his children's partners, often requiring at least two glasses of wine before opening up. Brennan also mentions serving as Dvorak's "gopher" and driver during the broadcaster's recent recovery from a cracked sternum.
