November November Where Washington, D.C. Where Washington, D.C. WASHINGTON D.C. abounds with rich history at every turn. The National Archives exempli- fies this history in the building itself, originally designed to help beautify the center of the city. And then, among the historical documents, photographs and artifacts, it holds original copies of the Declaration of Indepen- dence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. This month, “Remembering Vietnam” opens on November 10. Go see it.
