I haven't quite mustered the fortitude to visit Mount Vernon since it
opened its new visitors' center, complete with electronic wizardry and
wax models designed to portray the young, virile George Washington as
action hero.  Okay, so maybe I shouldn't be such a scholarly snob.

Has anyone on the list visited Mount Vernon since the new features were
unveiled this fall?  If so, what did you think?
