“The city of Washington is in some respects self-contained, and it is easy there to forget what the rest of the United States is thinking about.

—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Climate of Egypt in winter is the reign of spring upon earth, & summer in the air, and tranquility in the heat.”
