Washington Capital Debates Face Rigid House Rules

The piece discusses congressional debates losing vigor to strict House rules and a rigid system. It contrasts past lively, human moments with today’s controlled proceedings and notes how the new system affects speech and audience perception. It mentions national capital improvements, machinery exhibits, and the push to beautify Washington with grand public buildings.
