Brickbat: Not Permitted

Christina Broadway of Marietta, Georgia, says she doesn't feel safe after her security cameras caught a city employee entering her home without her permission while she was at a funeral. City officials say the man was a code enforcement officer who had a right to enter the home because he thought he saw construction without the proper permits taking place at the residence.

This sacred place holds our national memory. Don't politicize it.

Amanda Vaill is the author of four biographies, including the forthcoming 'Pride and Pleasure: The Schuyler Sisters in an Age of Revolution.' In the summer of 1848, after Alexander Hamilton's 90-year-old widow, Eliza, had been campaigning for more than a decade to have the Library of Congress acquire her husband's papers, her goal seemed at last within reach. A 'bill for the relief of Elizabeth Hamilton,' under which Congress would buy his archive and she would have it transcribed and printed in book form for deposit in the Library, had been sent to the House of Representatives in May. Although the measure had not yet reached the floor, it was expected to at any moment.
