(FORTUNE Magazine) – District Mayor Marion Barry got a big laugh last month when he observed that his plan for a new prison would draw no opposition from the folks in the Congressional Cemetery, which adjoins the proposed site. However, in a town that has a lobbying group for just about everyone, the mayor clearly underestimated the dead. An official of the Congressional Cemetery Association has written a letter . . . protesting the proposed D.C. prison location . . . ''It's true the dead can't speak for themselves,'' commented association board member Christopher Herman. ''So other people have to speak for them.'' -- From a news report in the Washington Post.
