During that time, while Congress after Congress has passed the buck on the question of providing an adequate airport for the nation's capital, option-mongers have been busily cornering most available sites.

If anything unifies the U. S. enough to justify its being called a nation, he says, it is Jefferson's slogan: "Equal rights for all, special privileges for none."
