Summary

Washington, D.C., is both a city and a district. No other large U.S. city has an economy so clearly driven by a single force -- its role as the nation's capital. The national monuments and museums attract millions of visitors each year, making tourism the second most important aspect of the city's financial life. Washington has been the site of many major public demonstrations, such as the 1963 civil rights march and various marches against the war in Vietnam. The city also boasts the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival. Book jacket.
