The Capitol Visitor Center, photographed March 15, 2007, three years past due and, at $600 million, nearly nine times its original anticipated cost, just might open next year, assuming the delays discovered nearly monthly aren't crucial. Defenders say it will be a beautiful and informative space for the Capitol's 3 million annual visitors. Detractors point to the staggering cost and point out that the center's real function is to add yet another barrier between the people and their government. (Chuck Kennedy/MCT)
