DC By the Book

Excerpt: The agents parked in front of the Air and Space Museum, and they went inside while everyone they passed stared and nudged companions. Meg could kind of take planes or leave them-- mostly leave them-- but Steven and Neal loved the exhibits, standing open-mouthed in front of World War II fighter planes, one of the Wright Brothers' original flyers, and the Spirit of St. Louis. They looked at some moon rocks, a couple of Apollo Command Modules, missiles, and Hubble telescopes-- and her brothers probably would have spent the next year in the flight simulators, if other people hadn't been waiting in line. Meg kind of thought that the space program was a waste of time, where there were starving people in Appalachia and that sort of thing, but she generally tried to keep potentially controversial political opinions to herself. It was easier that way.
