...Washington is in culture shock. The new mecca is vastly different: the crowd is rich, young and isn't naturally inclined toward politics or government. Last summer Bobbie Kilberg, NVTC president, threw a fund raiser for George W. Bush's presidential campaign. She thought about having the event downtown but discovered that prospective donors in the high-tech suburbs weren't keen about that idea. Kilberg held the event near the Dulles Toll Road instead. It was the first real political event anyone could remember in northern Virginia, generating $600,000 for Bush...
...Washington still can't decide what to make of Daniel Snyder, a Bethesda, Md., advertising-firm owner who made a killing there, bought the beloved Washington Redskins in 1999 and then this year moved its summer-training camp to Loudon County. Snyder is a herald of what is to come; a group of tech executives is mobilizing to bring a professional baseball team to northern Virginia--not Washington. Ted Leonsis, an AOL executive, formed a group that bought a majority interest in Washington's NBA, NHL and WNBA franchises. Then Leonsis made it clear he wanted not only...

It operates much like TechNet except lawmakers don't have to fly across the continent to pick up their campaign-finance checks.

But if trouble with content in last year's crop of yearbooks is any indication, capturing the true spirit of life at high school could be perilous...
That influence is already apparent. This summer Tiger has disrupted countless weekend itineraries. Last month 28 million Americans, a 32% increase over last year, watched one of the least dramatic final rounds in the history of the British Open. They stayed for a glimpse of golfing puissance--and to see a reflection of themselves. In an era defined by placid prosperity and cross-cultural, NASDAQ-obsessed Generation Y geeks who went to Stanford, it is only a minor coincidence that the national icon is a 24-year-old multiracial golfer who "plays around in the market" and could be worth...
