BREASTS - more specifically, my wife's breasts - have been a contentious
issue since we arrived in Washington DC. Everywhere we go they seem to come
up - after they come out.

Breastfeeding, that's what this is about. I knew from previous travels here
that there was a bit of prudishness about the place but I wasn't prepared
for a debate about breastfeeding. I thought that one had been done and
dusted...

...Soon after, Nikki arrived, sat herself at the back of a long line of
chairs and Sofia latched on.

The same security guard then sped across and told my wife she was not
allowed to breastfeed in the lobby...
