The buildings erected since last year have a different look. Not like anything in New York City, No, Washington, D.C. has it's own look, The buildings are no more than 12 stories high and some Stretch on endlessly for two or three city blocks. They have a far- a-way, untouchable, bureaucratic look about them, like something existing in a dream. They are formal. They are modern. They seem already part of a future none of us will ever see. Like some Greek Empire already doomed before its time, They are frightening, And then there are the people, They come en masse, still believ- ing in the dream, in a fever pitch to see all of it before it disap - pears. They drag their children by the hands, "There," they say, "the IWQ jima Memorial," or ... "There is Lincoln. Look at him. Remember," §HK They stand in line to get into the White House, They wait in the rain to get into Ford's Theater, They pack the little house across the street where Lincoln died. They are hungry to know about the wallpaper and the furnishings at Mount Vernon, iiiiiiiiiili They touch things they shouldn't, Like vultures they feed upon the past. And, even if that past glories in deeds of war and battle, it is better than anything they can offer their children now. t I Where Integrity Earns Confidence The people have had too much mustard with their hot dog, As in all things American, the hot dog was not enough. It had to have mustard. And the mustard got too hot. And the people want to get back to grits and sugar cured ham, And they don't know how. It is, somehow, almost reassuring to hear the narrator at Ford's Theater tell the Saturday morning crowd how, In Lincoln's time, WILL YOUR CAR PA: Washington was more of a mess than it is now.
