The two real seats of influence in the United States are separated by 228 miles of a heavily traveled stretch of interstate highway along the East Coast corridor. New York City -- specifically midtown Manhattan -- is expensively paneled boardrooms, highly paid executives in $2,000 suits, big business done behind closed doors, and the ramifications of all that wheeling and dealing as manifested in carefully planned advertising campaigns and on four-story-high billboards in Times Square. Washington, D.C., has its paneled boardrooms, too, with power brokers of a different sort also involved in high-level negotiations out of the public eye.
