He'd love to clean up the Hudson too and, maybe, while he's at it, the Potomac. What would help is a tugboat of his own (the homemade John Deere rig is showing its age, and hitching rides with commercial haulers is a hit-and-miss affair), but even without one, he vows, he'll plunge ahead, refrigerator by refrigerator, prosthetic leg by prosthetic leg.

In a metropolitan area swarming with museums, this one is unique. Having opened only last May, it's too young to have earned a must-see designation on capital tours, and with an exhibit space of only 2,200 sq. ft., it's a dwarf among the Smithsonian titans.
