Chipping at the "authority" of the Supreme Court

Here's the first two paragraph of an article in today's Washington Post you can access it here:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/28/AR2005112801862.html. (Sorry for the length of it, I'm sure there is an easier way but I'm not sure how to do it.)For some, the chunk of marble that fell from the facade of the Supreme Court yesterday was a frightening safety hazard.But this is Washington, after all, where people search for hidden meaning in anything that happens at places such as the nation's highest court. And so, some couldn't help but note that the tumbling piece chipped at a carved marble figure that represents "Authority."Perhaps this is a prophetic event. I don't believe in accidents. Any thoughts??
