Think about the political slant of the _CP_ (and to a lesser extent, the
_Post_) and then tell me again that they would try to cover up a history of
local objections if they existed.  Judging by what I've read in that rag,
they'd be much more likely to make up a conspiracy of white Georgetown
residents trying to keep the subway out than they would make up the
geographic problems which actually kept it out.

And as it has been said before, G'town was not as hip a destination 30
years ago when the routes were being planned.
