Ken, could you translate the last sentence into British English, please.

Mistakes were made.  The sentence should have read as:

Maybe this is another case in which the obvious finally has penetrated to inside the beltway.

The beltway is the I-495 loop that circles Washington, DC. It refers to an imaginary border between Washington insiders and the rest of the country.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inside_the_Beltway





Maybe the book's impact is limited to Washington insiders.
