Its new Greek branch will be housed in “a historic 19th century building,” said Reilly. The building is “in the Neo-classical style, a large three-story building facing the harbor and with a magnificent view,” she said. Even though the office...

"There has been no institutional rule, means, norm or tradition that cannot be set aside to advance a partisan political goal," says Brookings Institution political scientist Thomas Mann, co-author of the recently published book whose title describes Congress as The Broken Branch. In 2003, instead of fashioning a compromise that might woo a few Democrats, Hastert and DeLay held what was supposed to be a 15-min. vote open for three full hours as they squeezed the last Republican votes they needed to pass a bill to provide an expensive prescription drug...
