The article reports that the Heritage Foundation, which celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary beginning next month, has grown into one of the largest and most successful advocates for conservative thinking in Washington. From its unadorned, mud-colored headquarters building two blocks from the Capitol, Heritage provides research to back up the Republican right's drive to abolish what is left of the welfare state. According to Ronald Elving, the political editor of the journal Congressional Quarterly, Heritage is a "pillar" of the Washington political scene.
