SUMMARY
As the only American city under direct congressional control, Washington has served historically as a testing ground for federal policy initiatives and social experiments -- with decidedly mixed results. Well-intentioned efforts to introduce measures of socialjustice for the district's largely black population have failed. Yet federal plans and federal money have successfully created a monumental federal presence -- a triumph, argues Howard Gillette, of beauty over justice. Beginning in 1790, Gillette traces the ambiguous legacy of congressional involvement in Washington's urban development.Gillette, Howard, Jr. is the author of 'Between Justice+beauty' with ISBN 9780801850691 and ISBN 080185069X.
