The two ghostly figures stood and started for their daytime retreats: Jefferson to his monument on the edge of the city, skirted by freeways, engulfed in noise and automobile exhaust, the 18th century man of enlightenment and his lifelong motto -"Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God"-face to face with the 20th century; and Hamilton to his pedestal in front of the Treasury building, facing a lovely green park just across a narrow, shady street from the White House...
