...rebuild roads, enlarge ports or repair bridges. But neither can the U.S. continue its past policy of "build it and forget it." The longer that needed restoration is postponed, the more costly it becomes. America cannot afford to starve vital parts of its infrastructure-that network of arteries that nourish the heart of the economy...
...homes. But just now, the baby boomers, in their early-to mid-30s, are grappling for the first time with life's serious, mundane and (in many cases) long postponed business: trying to discover living arrangements more permanent than mere roommating, finding ways to raise children, shelter them, nourish them, educate them, serve as models for them and otherwise turn them into the next generation - a hopeful and sometimes painful drudgery that is invariably hard on narcissists.

There are 298,000 federal civilian workers in the Washington area today, compared with 2,200 in Lincoln's time. These hordes are attended in various ways by lobbyists, lawyers, accountants, special interest groups, consultants and journalists, all in vast numbers. The number of lawyers alone would drive Plato to despondency. Ever since Government started going after business, business started hiring lawyers. In July 1973 there were 10,925 attorneys listed as members of the District of Columbia...
