2002 Six months after the attacks of 9 -11. We see many changes in the nations capital. The city still feels very secure but the government officials are determined to prevent another such incident.
Yes, that's the US Capital.
2001 Six months BEFORE 9 - 11. There is security but it would be the last time for BA students to wander freely about the US Capital and to visit famous monuments unencumbered with walls, vehicle barriers, and numerous armed guards.
2000 HAPPY MILLENNIUM!
Computers didn't stop working, planets didn't align, and the earth didn't spin out of orbit. Everything was just...normal! For example, BA students visit the nation's capital with the Close Up Government Studies Program.

1994 Good weather all week. Can ya believe it?
