Swarms of Legionnaires, Scouts, and students periodically invade the city, and are ferried to and fro by tour busses or bollixed by the ultra-modern subway system. They strive to see as many sights in as short a time as possible, recording it all as snapshots with Mom and the kids in the foreground. Their routes are predictable: they visit the Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln Memorials; the Smithsonian Museum, the White House, and the Supreme Court. Inevitably, they climb the stairs that lead to the Capitol. In addition to the thousands of pleasure-seekers swathed in polyester double-knit or Izod Lacostes who visit the Capitol, many protest groups bring their agenda to the steps, where temporary visitors from the hinterland (their more permanent representatives inside) or any IlSHIOULD HELP, CINDIRERMAPti BursarE CLOWN HAS passing journalist or television cameraman may be introduced to that day's cause. 6NEN ALL MY POWERSBAGK XTWE 5 ATEtAa ---- Last Tuesday, under the shadow of the Capitol dome and within I16 - - - - -;--- - -------=---- IIC- a -- I sight of the Supreme Court, a group of fundamentalist Christians ex- plained America's problems.
