A sweeping panorama of the Panama Canal saga from Ferdinand de Lesseps to the American era, detailing treaties, failures, the French fiasco, and the US takeover. It highlights key figures such as Goethals, Gorgas, Wallace, Stevens, and Taft era governance, plus the human toll and arduous conditions faced by workers.

The Freedom statue and the helmeted goddess of Capitol Hill

An odd profile of Miss Freedom, the deaf mute centerpiece atop the Capitol dome, revered by visitors yet mocked for her aging bronze and a stubbornly old helmet. A humorous pastiche notes her solitary guardian Porch and the social foibles of Washington’s feminists, while hinting at Suffragist scrutiny and the city’s praise for a living symbol of liberty.
