Some good info Lisna. I've never gotten that far into those terms and styles. I did happen to visit that very same monument in 1976 though. A family trip to our nations capital during the bicentennial year.

We visited quite a few notable places there during that trip, but the most vivid memory of it was getting lost and separated from my family. My brother and me were told to run ahead to catch the tour bus for the White House, and I got on the wrong one. I ended up sitting in a park watching someone sing and play guitar when a few secret service men came up to me and asked me my name. Boom! They swarmed me and escorted me to a different location where I met up with my hysterical Mom. We were cleared and went on with the rest of our trip, but the shock waves from that day resonated for years to come.
