 "The courthouse interior is a rush of color — pearl gray and green-veined marbles, golden light fixtures, yellow, green, and blue paint. Standing in the great central court, one looks up the three stories of the magnificent rotunda to a dome whose outer rim is painted with the signs of the zodiac and whose center is an eye of stained glass worthy of Tiffany. One feels — as one does in the rotunda at the heart of the Capitol in Washington — the dignity of government and the permanence of law."
