From great oratory to low malapropisms (like the Senator who spoke about "Indigo China"), from high wit (the first congressmen dryly called the pompous and weighty John Adams, "Your Rotundity") to segregation in the congressional dining room, this informative and entertaining look at the history of Congress reveals much about our nation and government.
