There the eye sweeps across the Capitol and Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial and Jefferson Memorial, the white marbles softened at this time of year by dogwood and cherry blossoms.

Susan McHugh, a Dublin mother of two, was so angered by the violence, which claimed six more lives last week, that she has started a new movement to search for peace in Northern Ireland.
