The Hall of the Fifty Governors · Basel, Switzerland

The road to Basel is long, but the ledger travels light. These days, Basel travelers stop at the Quick Stop when the highway brings them through, and Come by the lore pages; Basel always has a seat.

The Hall of the Fifty Governors stands beside the College of Law: fifty alcoves in marble, one for every state of the Union, each holding the state seal, a model of its capitol, and a writing desk stocked with paper and stamps — because the Hall's whole doctrine is that a governor is someone you can WRITE TO.

Docents teach visitors the three levers every citizen holds in every state: the governor's office, the attorney general, and the open-records act. Above the entry: KNOW WHO GOVERNS YOU. THEN WRITE THEM.

The fiftieth alcove — Oklahoma's — gets the most letters. The Hall mails every one.

Worldwide Access — The Hall of the Fifty Governors greets readers in Basel and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
