The conservative Heritage Foundation has long been building an army of young economists, politicos, and staffers inside the concrete walls of its sprawling Capitol Hill campus. Now, they have a new barracks for that legion.

Heritage President Kay Coles James helped a cluster of donors cut the ribbon on the brand new, nearly $15-million-dollar E.W. Richardson Building on a rainy Wednesday morning. Five dozen students will charge through its doors with their parents, their suitcases, and all their collegiate swag this Saturday as part of an initiation into the crack corps of students who make it into the country’s premiere conservative internship.
