Here in the U. S. a project of moving the
government a few hundred miles to the southwest proceeds apace, under the
supervision of Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia. Apart from the usual
highways and parks, Byrd has taken a special interest in transplanting pieces of
federal agencies from metropolitan Washington to his home state. Strangely, Byrd’s little experiment in de-Washingtonization has become the focus of outrage among the very people who are otherwise most critical of Washington and its ways. To these critics, it is the very symbol of congressional arrogance of power, isolation from reality, contempt for the voters, and so on, and demonstrates the need for term limits if not lynching.
