Hines covers Washington ... via the internet and C-SPAN
It's good that the Chronicle has its very own D.C. bureau, with a coveted spot in the White House briefing room on the fifth row with other regional newspapers AND its very own opinion columnist to pound the pavement in Washington and dig up the stories important to Houstonians.
And when Cragg Hines is too busy to pound the pavement, well, there's always the good old internet:
Just because much of Washington so easily turns to wallowing in eruptions such as the House page outrage doesn't mean that some of the nation's best minds — or even Newt Gingrich — don't have time for more far-reaching issues.
That was the case when Justice Stephen Breyer and former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor led a conference on fair and independent courts at Georgetown University Law Center co-sponsored by the American Law Institute. It was a natural outgrowth of recent verbal assaults on the judiciary from the Republican right, including suggestions that there should be no surprise at violence against judges.

I was out of town during the conference but have caught up by way of Georgetown Law's superb Internet coverage, including a number of transcripts and archived Webcasts, at www.law.georgetown.edu/judiciary/program.html.
Why in the world does the Chronicle maintain an expensive D.C. bureau so its Washington columnist can write about what he finds on C-SPAN and the internet?
