Taxing representation in D.C.
Jonetta Rose Barras, The Examiner Jul 28, 2008 1:00 AM (505 days ago)WASHINGTON Dwarfed perhaps by her larger sisters, the John A.

From Freedom Plaza, between 13th and 14th streets on Pennsylvania Ave. NW, the view is magnificent: the marble from South Dover; N.Y.; the Blue Hill, Maine granite; the huge columns, the eight “heroic figures” on the upper cornice, designed by Adolfo De Nesti and depicting sculpture, painting, architecture, music, commerce, engineering, agriculture and statesmanship.
