I can now approach Washington with flexibility, alert for dogs and drunks, ready to dance. I'm ready to work key directories and websites to mine data and, equally or more important, know better how to reach knowledgeable DC staffers and experts on my issues. I now see shortcuts through the federal maze, and feel I've gained resource-depth I didn't have before this seminar. I'm energized to go back and revisit certain stories I've reported on before; I think I can do a better job now of digging into them. (Opening Washington's File Cabinet, Austin, February 2006)
