Have been coming to again and again this month. This is the fourth installment of the series. We have focused mostly on architecture. You might recall we had House Speaker on the folklife, but this one is different to me. It speaks very clearly and closely to my heart as a historian. I know visitors that come to d. C. , they want to go to library of congress, they are in on and they should be. Researchers cannot wait to read in the main reading room. It lands a certain something lends a certain something to the seriousness of what they are doing.
