D.C. It is not just the rich history embodied there. It is not the awe-inspiring monuments or the Smithsonian with its endless exhibits. It is not the hundreds of massive marble buildings rising majestically toward the sky. As beautiful as they are, it isn't the thick clusters of pink cherry blossoms reflected in the cool springtime waters of the Potomac. The magic is revealed as each visitor realizes he or she is standing on the pulse point of the world.
Decisions made here create ripples around the globe.
Washington, D.C. oozes power. The massive building, which fills a full city block between 18th and 19th streets, is two short blocks from Pennsylvania Avenue. Shouts of protestors marching in front of the White House are carried on the March wind. Granted, Bibb is one of thousands of Washington bureaucrats. But, get beyond the governmental gobbledygook, and you'll discover a good man doing a good job in an arena where many contend that mediocrity is the norm.
