The full story on Kramerbooks

By Rebecca Bellville | September 27

One might describe Kramerbooks as a Washington institution, the perfect combination of a bookstore and restaurant, or an excellent place to find books that appeal to one's intellect.

Silver City: D-

By Matt Rajput | September 27

Unlike "Fahrenheit 9/11" and subsequent documentaries, "Silver City" in no way attempts to mask itself as being a source of information that was not readily available to the public.
