Your government at work
Looking for evidence of government in action (as opposed to government inaction)?
Here’s just a brief summary of things that happened as a result of laws signed this week by President Bush:
The U.S. Postal Service facility in Brockton, Mass., is now the Rocky Marciano Post Office, named for the late boxing great (shown above landing a solid right on Archie Moore).
The bankruptcy courthouse in Brooklyn is now the Conrad B. Duberstein United States Bankruptcy Courthouse, named for a late bankruptcy judge.
And Lock and Dam No. 5 of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System near Redfield, Ark., is no longer Lock and Dam No. 5. It is now the Col. Charles D. Maynard Lock and Dam,” named for the late Army Corps of Engineers official who helped design the project.
