NEWSeum

Sunday I went to the Newseum that is just north of the Capitol building with Robyn.  It is filled with the history of media in America, from the formation of the Republic up to the present day.  There is also the largest collection of pieces from the Berlin Wall anywhere outside of Germany.  It normally costs $20 to go into the museum, but we were able to enter for free because of their partnership with our internship program.  Woohoo!  It is a really cool museum, and I was able to attend a live broadcast of an interview between the CEO of Newseum, Jim Duff, and Ronald Reagan's Chief of Staff, Ken Duberstein.  Here is a YouTube link to the interview; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bxXnrSoLOI.  The focus of the interview was based on the 'Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall' speech that Reagan gave in Berlin on June 12, 1987, five months before the wall was taken down.  There was also a large gay pride festival going on outside, and we ventured through the various venders before heading back to the RAF, where I enjoyed a fantastic salmon dinner.
