Events of Interest: Week of July 2-6, 2012
School is out, Congress is out, and the electrical power is out in much of the Washington,DC area as the result of a terrible storm on Friday night with 70-80 mile per hour winds. With temperatures in the 100 degree F range and many homes without air conditioning or refrigeration, a lot of people probably are looking forward to going to work tomorrow and — hopefully — to air-conditioned office buildings in the DC-area to debate space policy. However, it is a quiet week not only in Washington, but everywhere. The events we know of are listed below.
