NEW THIS MONTH
On page 42 This month we welcome a new columnist to The District Beat.
Mark Segraves, a Metro reporter for WTOP Radio, provides
keen insight on what’s really happening downtown at the Wilson
Building. Turn to page 42, where Segraves discusses scandals, defection and murder … who says politics is boring? | PDF
On page 159 On page 161 “Remembering George Didden,” friends and colleagues share their memories of the chairman and chief
executive of the National Capital Bank, the renowned
community leader, who died at age 62 on Dec. 21. Readers
can find Didden’s obituary on page 32, and his son’s moving
eulogy on page 159. | PDF
Thinking about those New Year’s resolutions? Check out the Hill Rag’s
Annual “New Year New You” special section, where you can find
everything you need, from Acupuncture to Zen, for a holistic makeover
in 2008.
