...which has heretofore been reserved for stone commemorations of American goodness (George Washington, Abraham Lincoln) and American tragedy (Vietnam). And it's hard to imagine a more successful job of it than that managed by architect Freed, a partner of I.M. Pei's. With its exhibits designed by Ralph Appelbaum, Freed's museum is neither a pious, too-easy-to-take abstraction nor a meretriciously Disneyesque Auschwitz-land; rather it is a craftsmanlike, thoughtful and powerfully disturbing hybrid of both, a ghastly but never wholly literal evocation of the camps as well as a sublime contemplation of history (even, with...
...David Appelbaum took his 20-year-old daughter, Nava, out for coffee on the night before her wedding day to have one last father-daughter heart-to-heart.

...David Broder, in his Washington Post column on Wednesday, and Harvard economist Richard Freeman and think-tanker Eileen Appelbaum in the New York Times on Thursday, all raise the admittedly intriguing idea of the "prosperity dividend." The gist: Wait until the surplus is a surplus before you send it back. At the end of the fiscal year, if there's money left over in the federal budget, simply cut every taxpayer in America a check...
