Edlestein has also developed a highly original cutting style: in most of the important sequences, he tends to cut between shots which are related in sense and overall composition, but which do not develop directly out of each other with conventional, fluid continuity. He will frequently interrupt a functional cut with a brief emblematic or detail (memorable among such cuts is a phone conversation in which images of the two speakers are interspersed with rapid pans along fence-like telephone wires) and this liberated cutting style allows him to use disparate materials--still photographs, newspaper headlines, etc.--with ease...

But he had no desire to interrupt the two-mile vista that stretches from the Capitol past the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial-a vista Bunshaft considers "one of the greatest in all architecture." Instead, he has sunk the pool and sculpture area 7 ft. below the Mall level. So vast are distances in official Washington...
