A Greek Tragedy for the Peterson Family
cityfile · 06/05/09 11:29AMPlenty of reality programs promise to show us how the rich and powerful live their lives. Very few actually end up doing that, of course. The women featured on the Real Housewives of NYC weren't part of the city's social elite before they humiliated themselves on national television—nor were they all housewives either—so they had little to lose in the end. That will change, though, when Bravo's NYC Prep, or the "real-life Gossip Girl," as Bravo has been billing it, debuts on June 23.

Meet Peter Carey ("PC") Peterson, the grandson of Pete Peterson.
