After 10 minutes of jamming with his quartet, he sits on the edge of the bandstand and just blows: one soulful, sustained note of Grover Washington Jr. that soars above the dance floor, wafts out into the night and salutes the finger-popping ghosts of jazz swaying gently on the corner of 18th and Vine.]]></description><author> Christine H.

Past the towering pillars hung portraits of Dred Scott and his wife, Harriet, looking at once stern and refined. A plaque offered details of their famous saga: the 1847 legal battle for freedom from bondage was launched on this site; the 1857 Supreme Court appeal; the controversial verdict denying the Scotts' request and stripping them -- and all black Americans -- of their rights.]]></description><author> Gary Lee</author></item><item><title><![CDATA[Return of the Tourists]]></title><link>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A21316-2001Oct19.html?nav=rss_travel/archive/unitedstates/mo</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A21316-2001Oct19.html?nav=rss_travel/archive/unitedstates/mo</guid><pubDate>Thu, 31 Mar 2005 16:48:18 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Quiet. That's how managers and tourism officials described some of the country's favorite fall travel destinations last week. But quiet is good. Quiet they can live with. Quiet is much, much better than comatose, which is how some officials described their hotels, restaurants and parks in the weeks just after Sept. 11. While the economic impact is still being keenly felt and crowds are still rare, many tourist sites are reporting the slow return of fall travelers. Particularly, destinations within driving range of sizable populations are seeing automobile traffic begin to make up for the fear of flying that has gripped much of the country. Here is a  roundup of what you can expect to  find at popular U.S. destinations.]]></description><author> Steve Hendrix</author></item><item><title><![CDATA[An Arch Look]]></title><link>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A34381-2000Jul2.html?nav=rss_travel/archive/unitedstates/mo</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A34381-2000Jul2.html?nav=rss_travel/archive/unitedstates/mo</guid><pubDate>Thu, 31 Mar 2005 16:48:18 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[If you have ever been to St. Louis at all, it was probably to change planes. Lambert International Airport is the hub and hive of Trans World Airlines, and thousands of travelers squeeze through one or another of its pores every day. Indeed, Lambert is among the busiest airports in the country--too busy, in the opinion of most St. Louisans--but woefully little of this traffic finds its way to the stately and gracious city some 15 minutes to the west.]]></description><author> Tim Page</author></item></channel></rss>
