It argues the project would bring over 10 million in construction activity and more than 250000 annually in city revenue, while noting traffic and sewer concerns were addressed by changes and cost sharing.

Washington faces a militant protest in the 1972 era
Holmes Alexander argues that antiwar demonstrations in Washington, led by Spock Groppi and others, pose minimal military threat but substantial political damage. He criticizes home rule opponents, the Kleindienst nomination delay, and the broader police and justice department response. The piece cites 500,000 April 71 peace marchers versus 7,000 in May 72, warning of a dangerous precedent for police brutality and political retaliation.
