<<Locally [Census] recruiters have landed representatives of a gay
basketball team, immigrants from a chiefdom in Sierra Leone and a
Chinese acupuncturist. They have appealed to liquor stores and
hardware stores, pizzerias and patisseries, the Nationals and the
Mystics, Shakespearean scholars, the Woodrow Wilson House and even the
CIA, asking each to display posters or a stack of brochures.

"My sense was they were talking to everyone, no matter how remote the
connection to the census," said Gail Kern Paster, director of the
Folger Shakespeare Library, where visitors can pick up a census
flier.>>
