	This site is run by Globalspec. Isn't it a bit off to have "the Nation's Capital" in the title, without specifying which nation? __________________ "Love justice, you who rule the world" - Dante Alighieri

	Umm, it's like a team winning the 'World Series' in baseball, or being the 'World Champions' in football. You know, it's 'Global', therefore it's American. Deserved, of course, ever since we won World War II. _{/Arrogance? Us?} __________________ Whiskey, women -- and astrophysics. Because sometimes a problem can't be solved with just whiskey and women.
