DC rejoices as Clinton learns to love his capital
Article Abstract:
Some observers are beginning to express the view that Washington DC could see an improvement in its fortunes in the future. They point to the opening of the MCI Center, a 20,000-seater stadium and entertainment facility which was approved and constructed in only two years, and to the appointment of Camille Barnett as chief executive. She is a rather controversial figure, but is regarded as extremely intelligent and competent. There is some justification for being optimistic about the city's future, even though restoration schemes are still running behind schedule and unemployment remains high.
