Besides the unusually large master bedroom, there are two full baths, a breakfast-area kitchen, plenty of room for a grand old party, plus many small (but exceedingly civilized) touches-from the custom door mouldings to the brass bathroom fixtures. Price: $154,100. Visit our decorated models at the Sales Office, on 29th Street, south of M, just below the canal (guest parking in garage). Open 11 to 6 every day. 1, 2, and 3 bedroom plans available early 1981. Phone 338-0990. Sales by Brenneman Associates, Inc. ~ Developed by a subsidiary of 1.5.r

John and Pamela Jova are a natural team-they complement each other's lifestyles and dress. A Foreign Service career officer, Jova has served as U.S. Ambassador to Honduras and Mexico, and is currently president of Meridian House. Pamela, daughter of an English military man, works with the recently opened European Art Center here. Together, they breathe diplomatic ease and style, apparent from their classically elegant dress accenting international elan, timeless rather than trendy. Here they are seen together at Meridian House in front of the 16th-century Flemish tapestry in the dining room.

Randolph Hearst and daughter Patty and her husband were turned away from Pisces on Inaugural eve. No sponsors . . . Most interesting vignette of the event was Paul Volcker, and Dr. Arthur Bums, discussing the economy quietly in a corner of the ninth floor suite of American Security Bank party on Inaugural day. In an interesting aside Volcker asked a California financier active in the stock market his opinion on how the market should react in the next few months, proving yet again that the market defies everybody, even the folks who run the economy.

1. Furs, diamonds and limousines epitomized the Distinguished Ladies' Reception held at the Kennedy Center to permit ladies (and gentlemen) from across the United States to fete the new First Lady in a morning ceremony held throughout the center. 2. Nancy Reagan introduced co-honorees, distinguished ladies Barbara Bush, Anne Armstrong, Carol Laxalt and Liddy Dole. 3. The First Lady cut the ribbon at the special Corcoran Inauguration-only showing of Leonardo Da Vinci's sketchbook, loaned by owner Dr. Armand Hammer, at left. Also on hand were Charles Z. Wick and Californian Pascal Regan, chairman of the Fine Arts Committee of the Inaugural. 4. PepsiCo ~ Dan Kendall and wife greeted Maureen Reagan at their elegant luncheon given for the diplomatic corps at the OAS. Bill Codus, center, introduced guests. Total bill for the Inaugural will run well over $9 million, according to iriformed sources, making the 40th Presidential Inauguration the costliest-ilS well as the showiest-ever.

Ambassador Walter Annenberg enjoys the company of Barbara Sinatra. 7. A touching moment came when "old soldiers, " Army five-star General Omar Bradley and Air Force General Jimmy Stewart, saluted each other center stage. 8.

Californian Dr. Armand Hammer with "Caller Herrin" by Milia is from his collection. Recently he acquired Leonardo Da Vinci's sketch book, on view here during the Inauguration.

The exhibitions of Dr. Armand Hammer's thoroughly upgraded collection of paintings, "Five Centuries of Masterpieces," as well as his famed Daurnier collection at the Corcoran, are yet another manifestation. Needless to say, both of these priceless collections are destined to wind up in the planned extension of the Frances and Armand Hammer wing of L.A.'s County Museum of Art. Hollywood notwithstanding, the rise of California's collectors to international prominence is a comparatively new phenomenon. While most of them-and there are dozens by now-like to bestow a painting or two on the National Gallery of Art for reasons of prestige and patriotism, practically all of them expect to leave their treasures in full or in part to their local art museum. To the dismay of the museum directors, however, this excludes the fabled collections of those who are rich and ambitious enough to found their own museums. The late J. Paul Getty's elegant museum, a delightful replica of a Roman villa, attracts the art lovers of the world to

Malibu. Norton Simon, who presides over his superb, though recently acquired collection of old masters, lures them to Pasadena. The trustees of LACMA never quite forgave the willful Simon for auctioning off Edvard Munch's masterpiece "Girls on a Bridge" at Christie's for $2.8 million. It should have stayed in California, they maintain. Nor have they quite come to terms with his decision to go his own way. As Kenneth Donahue, the museum's former director, pointed out, the museum's acquisitions of modern and contemporary art would have been stepped up considerably had it not been for the high expectations set on Simon's original collections. Luckily, not all collectors change directions. One with a fine eye and a profound passion for great art is Edward W. Carter, the longtime trustee and avid supporter who is in charge of the museum's current $27.5 million fund-raising drive for the construction of a gallery for modern art and other improvements that add to LACMA's luster. Carter has assembled a relatively

language is a welcome change from the pseudo-sexual articles found in so-called "women's magazines." One wonders how the authors managed to find such untongue-tied subjects. Barbach is at the University of California on the psychiatry department faculty, and Levine, a graduate of Catholic University and a sex therapist, is in private practice in Washington, D.C., and is a consultant for the Center for Depression. The authors almost spoil the no-nonsense yet welcomely unclinical nature of the work by the rather cutesy jacket comment that they ''hope to give women permission to try some sexual activities they have always wanted to try but felt that no respectable woman would consider doing.'' One hopes most American women today, especially in light of the wide-ranging survey of them represented here, are under no such puritanical restraints. In any case, this is a useful and entertaining book for both men and women, preferably to be shared. -SUSAN ELLIS

REVITALIZING AMERICA: POLITICS FOR PROSPERITY.

observe and analyze the behavior of multinational corporations. But it goes beyond mere observation by demonstrating the inadequacies and shortcomings of traditional economic policies, as they are applied in the current stagflation drift. While Reagan administration supply-siders and Friedman monetarists will undoubtedly cringe at the idea, Muller fully documents the transformation of the classical competitive marketplace into a dual economy, where some 800 U.S. multinational conglomerates account for 70 percent of private sector business-a kind of supereconomy-while some 14 million smaller firms dogfight down below for the remaining 30 percent of domestic business. For example, the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, thi s nation 's big stick to fight inflation, is simply impotent in the face of the supereconomy's ability to ignore domestic interest rates. Giants in the supereconomy can go to the trillion dollar Eurocurrency market to borrow or invest, and Eurodollars and Eurobanks are outside the board's orb of authority and influence.

MOVIE MAGIC A BAG OF HADFUCKS

As for the "Jazz Singer," he should have listened to his father and become a Cantor. "Duddy Kravitz" should have stayed a hustler and not maligned poor Chopin, and Paddy Chayevsky should never have altered his state. His original incarnation was not so bad. Mostly, we suppose, you have to blame the producers, an obtuse, noncreative bunch to begin with. Perhaps it is up to Jack Valenti to call them into his office in Washington and birch them all with 20 lashes to their respective butts, which obviously is that part of their anatomy closest to their taste level. It wouldn't be a bad idea if all those writers, directors and actors who have cut their eye teeth on television were herded back to that medium, en masse, and given braces before letting them return to real movie production. Perhaps Michael Cimino, whose ap-

palling "Heaven's Gate" deserved the subtitle "Exit Here," might have done the industry a favor by shocking the moguls out of their Guccis. But this business of the asses fighting off the Philistines with the head of Samson has got to stop, or movie exhibitors will have to refurbish their theaters for female mud wrestling. It's not the prices that are keeping people away from the current crop of inanities, it is the celluloid images themselves-endless reels of boring, brainless, plodding offal. It's all right to manufacture the stuff for the boob tube. It's expected there now that Valium is losing its credibility . But to denature the last refuge of fantasy for people of my generation is not only an ecological travesty, it threatens to make imagination obsolete and drive people back to reading books, which wouldn't be such a bad idea. 0 Dossier/February 1981119

GENERAL ROBERT H. BARROW UP FROM 1liE RANKS A MARINE'S MARINE

By Susan Ellis

''Bob and I were in the same reserve officers' class going through Quantico. He accepted his regular commission. I turned mine down. He's pretty damn lucky I did, or I'd be the General and be' d be relegated to being a lousy Congressman. Seriously, Bob's reputation for straight-talking is a good sign for Congress . . . we can trust what he says." U.S. Rep. Barber B. Conable, Jr., (R-N.Y.) member of "Congressional Marines"

11 I February I 98 I I Dossier

General Robert H. Barrow, the first Marine Commandant to serve as a fullfledged member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is a leatherneck who speaks with a soft southern drawl, has courtly manners (called this female reporter "ma'am"), speaks as feelingly of the paintings on his office wall as of military strategy, and waxes even more poetic about retiring "as gracefully as I possibly can" to his family plantation in Lowsiana. There are other features out of the "mold" generally perceived to be those of a devout militarist. His famous summer garden parties, given on the grounds of the Marine Commandant's historic and stately Capitol Hill residence, are as noted for the ''crackerjack Dixieland band'' -made up from Marine Band members-as for the stirring martial airs played while they parade. No insider would dispute the general's military expertise, originally gained in 1944 through action with the infantry and in every dispute involving this nation since World War II when, as a 22-year-old Marine lieutenant, he led a team of U.S. Marines and Chinese guerrillas to cut Japanese communica-

Marine. "Military people tend to be the same as those in the corporate world," he admitted winningly, ''All business at work and not enough time to do it, then when that's over and you're pleasuring yourself, you do just that." Barrow's predilection for Dixieland jazz was translated into action when Marine Band Director Lt. Col. John Bourgeois, a fellow Louisianan, "read my thoughts and said 'l know what you want,''' the general smiles. Since then a select group of bandsmen regularly offer New Orleans style jazz as a refreshing alternative to stirring Sousa marches. His affability, first evidenced at a

social gathering in his home, remained during an interview in General Barrow's austere Marine Corps office in the Navy annex across from Arlington Cemetery. But the measured cadence of his responses, and the presence of a public relations officer to tape record the exchange, sharply defined the change from purely social to down-tobusiness. After leaving Louisiana State University to join the Marine Corps at the outbreak of World War II and serving as an enlisted drill instructor, Barrow received his commission in 1943 as (Continued on Page 78) Dossier/February /981/23

Design For Living HOME OFTHE C OMMANDANT:

his May when the Marine Corps band begins its summer Friday evening ritual of parading through the grounds of the Marine barracks on Capitol Hill, ending in front of the Commandant's stately manse which is the oldest continually occupied home in Washington, D.C.-built in 1806-one might reflect on the living Marine tradition within. For General and Mrs. Robert Barrow and their five children, the Marine Corps is not only a career but a way of life. Patricia Barrow's father was an infantry officer and she spent all her young years, the first 13 in the Philippines and China, "living just as I do now, from pillar to post." Their son, Marine 2nd Lt. Rob Barrow, has just received his first assignment and will serve on board ship in the Mediterranean. The Barrows' twin daughters Barbara and Cathy are married to Marine officers who were aides to their father when they met. Cathy's two-year-old toddler, Samuel Denham Turner, Jr., attired in tiny, full Marine dress for a New Year's Day reception at the Barrows' G Street, S.E., residence, may have made a start on continuing a third generation tradition. A tradition of discipline and duty permeates the Barrow household, but it is laced with humor and southern hospitality, doubtless partly derived from the general's Louisiana childhood near the small town of St. Francisville where he grew up on a plantation owned by his family since the early 1800s. But the friendly aura, comfortable even during a formal military reception, is also an accomplishment of Patricia ("Patty" to her husband) whom the general describes as "a very key element in all this. She is not only very supportive of me as a person but also of the Marine Corps. She has a deep and abiding interest in Marine families and informs me of the things she learns. In a sense, they sometimes get translated into things that I do." Conversations overheard at the general's buffet of delicacies-all

The interior of the house was painstakingly restored to early 1800's authenticity through the efforts of Mrs. John Russell, wife of the 16th Commandant, who consulted period experts to assure authentic colors and woods.

"the general's food is even better than the White House, which particularly the last few years has been skimpy.'' Except for such large festive affairs, the Barrows entertain formally, "seated and served the European way,

course by course. I enjoy doing it," says Patricia Barrow. "It's one of those things you only have for a brief time. It's a lovely time of life. At a certain point, everything sort of comes together-we have a lovely house and staff and I enjoy taking advantage of it." For formal dinners and luncheons she uses "a blend of things given to the house as gifts and from our lifelong collection. Our wedding silver, Wallace Grand Colonial, and the house silver, Gorham's Chantilly, blend nicely together. We have Wedgwood china and there is Spade in the house, so we use both. For such large groups, we would have to." As she talks, her two-and-a-half year old granddaughter chortles happily into the phone and Patricia Barrows conveys the feeling that contentment reaches all corners of her life. She has obviously taken to heart the national historic landmark home of the Commandants, the site of which was chosen by Thomas Jefferson as the Marine Barracks. "The house flows very nicely and we use all of it for entertaining our friends, including the sunny solarium," she says. At times, conversation is the order of the evening. At others, "We ask for musicians from the Marine Band. It depends on the formality of the occasion and whether it's an official function." The house was refurbished under General and Mrs. Robert Cushman about 1970. Each Commandant's family, Patricia Barrow explained, leaves its mark by donating gifts to the house. "Most of the ladies have acquired and collected Chinese and Japanese porcelains such as lmari, because of the lives we've led,'' with Marine husbands traditionally serving primarily in the western Pacific. Other furnishings come from outside donations and from the Corps itself. With today's more modest households, it has become increasingly difficult for Commandants to furnish the house appropriately. This situation led the Cushmans to seek authority from the secretary of the navy to solicit gifts and contributions for use in the Commandant's house. The objective, to bring the decor and furnishings to a level befitting the stature of the property and its history is well into its second phase-of acquiring suitable period pieces and works of art.

hat makes Washington tick is more than just the wheeling and dealing behind closed doors. It's the social life, for nowhere else in America is socializing so wedded to a town's industry: politicking.

David and Barbara Waters seem to have it all. On the surface, you'd say they're definitely fashionable, but knowing them helps you understand why. It's not just that at age 48 David is chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Garfinkel's, Brooks Brothers, Miller and Rhoads, Inc. (better known as The Garfinckel Corp. which owns Ann Taylor and Harzfeld's as well as the other stores in its corporate name). And it's not just that Barbara was publicity director for Joan and David shoes in New York after being publicity director of I. Magnin in Chicago. They have that intangible ingredient called style, that personal pizzaz that you just can't go out and buy. The Waters represent a growing breed which has become vital to this basically one-industry town. It's what the government people call the "private sector," and in plain terms called the business community. Although it has happened slowly, the business community has come into its own in Washington and is fast becoming an integral part of the city. "I think there's been an integration at the local level and a great deal of outreach to the community and government," says David. "If you look at most of the medium-sized businesses in this town, they seem to be successful locally and nationally. Marriott, People's and Woodies are companies which have had good growth. And I think the community has grown, too." In addition to his obvious energy, David Waters exudes an air of confidence. He's a man who has a sense about himself.

career right after Jaw school when he was working in an Atlanta law firm . One day he read and answered a newspaper ad placed by the FBI which was recruiting new agents. His application accepted, he went off to Washington and has never looked back. But it was his sense of adventure that Jed him to an international finance and management career which started in Buenos Aires . That was in 1943, and the name of the firm was Merrill Lynch (the Pierce, Fenner & Smith came much later) . He moved to Mexico City, then to Montevideo and finally landed in Havana in I 946 where he lived for the next 15 years. Until Castro's takeover and the U.S. break with Cuba in I 961, Havana was, according to Crosby, "one of the most exciting cities in the world ." Unravaged by war, with a strong and stable economy unlike Europe and Asia, Havana became a mecca for international investors and people who no longer wanted to be reminded of seven years of world war. The Cuban peso, says Crosby, was on an exact exchange rate with the U.S. dollar, Miami was more of a swamp than a city, the climate was balmy, and Hemingway was in full residence then . Havana was what was called a wide open town, an easy place to live, to play, to enjoy life. And leave it to Ken Crosby to be there at that special period of history. "There was no place to live like Havana in those years," reminisces Crosby. "And yes, I knew Hemingway and his wife, Mary. In fact, I hired Jack Hemingway (known to Papa Hemingway's readers as Bumby) as an account executive for Merrill Lynch in Havana." After Cuban-U.S. diplomatic relations were broken and Merrill Lynch (Continued on Page 85)

You could easily tell Committee members from just plain guests at th lOth anniversary Elephant Ball (whose real name is The Smithsonian Women' Committee Dance) because Chairman Ginny White asked cohorts to wear pink or red, in complement to the decor in the rotunda of the Museum of Natural History where the annual fund raiser is held. Helen Smith, a former Chairman of the Women's Committee, was in a shiny pink-and-green sheath (Very old! she confessed) ... and Ginny (Mrs. John) Sapienza wore her favorite hot pink Chinese silk. Millie Mailliard, Ann Upton, Ruthanna Weber and a dozen more members heeded instructions, and so did the Ball's mascot, the giant pachyderm, who stands trunk upraised, in the center of the rotunda. He (or she?) sported a splendidly raffish shockingpink saddle blanket. Martha Bartlett planned the decorations to carry out a "carousel" theme this year. Lively 19th century hand-carved animals pranced around the elephant, haunting calliope music piped guests up the escalator, and straw-hatted young barkers presented them with rings-some of which turned out to be brass and entitled their owners to some tempting doorprizes. "This is the dance for dancers," said John Sapienza as he swept Ginny onto the floor ... and hardly anyone sat out even a moment while Gene Donati and his orchestra provided waltzes, polkas, Charlestons and even a tango or two for some of the best hoofers in town. Espied on the edge of the dance floor, obviously savoring every beat, were the Ducky Blocks, the Brackley Shaws, the George McGhees and the Adrian Fishers-the latter back for "good" in their lovely N Street house after nearly four years in Geneva. The Henry Smith's daughter Susan McConnell waltzed with Charles Van Stone while the Edward Hidalgos, the J. Edward Days and lovely Sigrid Spalding enjoyed the music. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian, beamed proudly as he introduced the new director of the Museum of Natural Hi tory, Dr. Richard Fiske and his wife. Mary Ripley had tucked a very becoming red poinsettia into her blonde chignon. Getting their first taste of a Washington "Ball" were the new Indian Ambassador K. R. Narayanan and his sariclad wife. -ANNE BLAIR

Spring/Summer 1981 h

a iâ&#x20AC;˘

By Donald Dresden

~Obert M llraoyâ&#x20AC;˘s cDaniel recreates his feat of eating 148 oysters-four more than Diamond Jim record-at le Bagatelle which provided the Belon variety of these bivalves.

obert McDaniel indisputably ranks as the gastronomical guru of Washington. And it's no wonder. His encyclopedic knowledge of food and wine and his ability to describe them, coupled with his modest, affable personality, have elevated him to the presidency of the Washington chapters of the most exclusive epicurean societies in the world: the International Wine and Food Society and the Confrerie de Ia Chaine des Rotisseurs. While attending the Gastronomic Fair in Dijon he was also elected a Commandeur de Cordon Bleu. McDaniel worships gourmandise. "Good food and wine is my only hobby," he says. "Indeed wine and food have been the greatest pleasures of my life." As the sharpest fin bee in town, McDaniel, who is 56, has probably helped plan and participated in more "grand dinners," as he calls such Lucullan bashes, than anyone in the Federal City . His prowess as an epicure is so esteemed by professional chefs that they ask him to rate their work: within the last two years he was chosen by the National Capital Chefs Association and the Americale Culinaire of Washington from a roster which included White House Executive Chef Henry Haller, to serve as chief judge of the presentations of participants in the Salon of Culinary Art sponsored by the Greater Washington Restaurant Association. Since McDaniel was invited to be a member of the Chaine and the Wine and Food Society some 20 years ago, he has been a member of or advisor to virtually every committee that plans these organizations' dinners. Choosing a restaurant is a cinch for McDaniel since he knows virtually every place in town and the strengths of their chefs. Then negotiations with the restaurant begin. Eating societies strike a hard bargain and get a rock bottom price because restaurants value the esteem of some of the most discriminating bon vivants in town. Dossier/February 1981145

the sauce curdled . Nevertheless, with l small amount of cold water and vigor ous re-whisking it was reconstituted .~ The restaurant offered him a job whtC he declined. . On another trip McDaniel and so!llt friends went to Luchow's for lunch~ They were relishing Shelter IsJ~n oysters which turned the conversatiO~ inevitably to Diamond Jim BradY , legendary love of oysters: three doze · 1 before breakfast, 12 dozen before 0 double-sized full dinner. No glutto • McDaniel playfully remarked that ~; could beat Diamond Jim's recor~ of A dozen-but not the dinner followmg._ tb modest wager was agreed u~on, Wlhe If a the stipulation that he remam at sum~ table throughout the marathon so , tete. could not emulate the ancient Romans seerr visits to the vomitorium . · . he atht McDaniel set to his task.

However, he vo~ tO oys~ to turn the financial contretemps 10 k cho an advantage: he would learn ~ 0 c~~e &ra, so he could continue to e~JOY tO· the delicacies he had become addicted ,, "At that point I couldn't fry an egg, he confesses . oiS In those days, good cooking scho eJI · were scarce but McDaniel w_as ~oil known among Washing re 1~ restauranteurs, many of whom we 11 ~-: also the chefs of their establishment_s~ce took only one experience to conVI of McDaniel that he had a roster Jd distinguished professors who wou teach him at no cost. . tol He went first to Gabriel Chnswell then chef at Michel, a defunct but hOW remembered restaurant, and ask_ed Jarl~ to make beef stroganoff, a parucu chef popular dish in those days.

Indispensable links in the Chaine des Rotisseurs, McDaniel, left, current Washington president of the gourmet society, offers a toast to past president Robert Greault, chef-proprietor of Le Bagatelle.

Dinner begins with apertifs, no hard stuff, and light canapes. Tables have no flowers because the scent might intrude on taste and no salt either. Ashtrays are only available with coffee. A typical dinner includes a light broth, fish course, entree, sherbet as an interlude and palate clearer, salad, cheese, desert, coffee and liqueur. Portions are generous, but just the amount most would wish. At the end of the meal McDaniel delivers a lucid, fair commentary on the dinner. Another member comments on the wines. Members air their viewpoints, in uninhibited, amusing, sometimes ribald banter. As an oenophile, McDaniel ranks with the best. The first time I met him was at a tasting of Australian wines, little known in this country, being compared with European vintages. Several tasters noticed something strange about one of the wines. McDaniel spotted it as metallic, and sure enough, the vineyard was on top of a vein of iron ore. How did McDaniel get started as a food expert? (He doesn't like being called a gourmet because he thinks the term is snobbish.) In some ways his initiation into gastronomy parallels that of Craig Claiborne's whose mother ran a boarding house and James Beard's whose parents operated a modest hotel. McDaniel accompanied his father, a hotel executive, on trips to inspect the company's facilities. Food and its preparation during that period of benign attention to hotel dining rooms captivated young Bob's attention.

as the son of an executive he enjoyed unlimited tasting privileges. He especially recalls the joy of reaching into pickle barrels for choice specimens. But he also enjoyed exotic fare, such as terrapin in Georgia. Later McDaniel pursued a career in business and today he is a real estate management executive for L'Enfant Plaza Properties. As an intelligence operative during World War II and the Korean conflict, he saw a lot of the world, especially Europe, which exposed him to some of the finest cuisines and wines in the Occident and the Near East. When he returned to Washington and resumed his business career, a generous expense account permitted him to patronize the best restaurants in town, which he did with gusto . The Sommelier Society of America welcomed him to that select group of wine stewards, the only amateur so honored at that time. He traveled to New York for dinners and wine tastings, and when a Washington chapter was formed, he was chosen president. He is now chairman of the board and is also a member of the Cent Chevaliers de Vin, a local group of wine connoisseurs. Trips to New York for other reasons always included sumptuous meals in top restaurants. On one occasion McDaniel was served a sauce bearnaise which he thought inferior. He tactfully told the maitre d'hotel that he could make a better sauce, and he was invited to prove it in the kitchen.

By Bette Taylor Ruby attracts Walter Cronkite for the inscrutable Chinese delicacies-he hits the steamed fish regularly. Jacqueline's beckons Maureen Bunyan for the fish specialties and the chic ambiance. Cookbook author Carol Cutler loves sitting at the bar at Crisfield's for her seafood meal-and watching the lines go by for table space! lt was fitting for food editor Bill Rice to spend his last night in Washington before moving to New York dining at Le Lion D'Or. Lawyers too, like their creature comforts. Chub Peabody likes Gary's for the veal. Dominique's is a preference of Donald Dell and his lithe tennis-player clients; he likes the ebullient atmosphere and a menu with so many choices! Wes Williams can be found at the

Metropolitan Club and Joe Califano likes the home cooking at Mel Krupin , especially the boiled beef. A surpri ing number of lawyers eat almost every day at the Lion D'Or, like Bernie Koteen and Henry Beauregard. Luigi's regularly beckons Bill Geimer who "wallow " in their sausage pizza. He also likes The Carvery in the Mayflower for their crab alad and ginger chicken. No snob he! Even Roy Rogers gets his vote. Athletes u ually go in for heavier eating. Mel Krupins herds in Jerry Smith and Terry Metcalfe, and Faunsworths in Largo, Maryland, is a favorite of the Caps and Bullets players. Lobbyist Tommy Boggs likes to make a great first impression on his client at the Georgetown Club. He loves the lob ter appetizer at Mai on Blanche and enjoys DaVinci for the fabulous pasta dishes.

enjoys Tiberios. Bob Gray likes the Georgetown Club-but then he helped found it. Anna Chennault enjoys lunching in the leafy-bowered ambiance of Twigs; so does her neighbor, Bob Dole. Bob Linowes and Bud Doggett, and Catharina and Liv Biddle have so many receptions to attend they can't dine out often but 1789 is one of their favorites "for duck." Catharina likes Rive Gauche for the steamed fishes and Sans Souci and Jockey Club for seafood. They've hit the Snuggery on Fridays for lobster. The Biddies really appreciate the lounge at the Kennedy Center for little snacks like steak tartare before concerts. Mark Russell regularly practices his renditions at Hugos; where better to assess one's "view" of the Hill? The artsy people in town end up everywhere. Jane Seymour nibbles French at Le Pavilion and Maison Blanche has attracted Dinah Shore. When in town, Frank Sinatra likes the home cooking and conviviality of Pasquale Fiordelise's Trieste. Leontyne Price relished her dinner in the stately Montpelier Room recently and the Jockey Club beckons Roger Stevens, Ina Ginsberg and J. Carter Brown. The Apple of Eve attracted Telly Savalas

and Luciano Pavarotti-both sang their praises of the venison! Politicians chow down everywhere. Ed Meese gives the nod to Mel Krupins, and even ate there the same day as Zbig Brzezinski. But Zbig refines his far eastern binges at the Japan Inn . Senators Long and Ribicoff both like the horsey elegance of the Jockey Club along with Maureen Reagan, who has her own aspirations for the Senate. Senator Baker prefers the stately elegance of the Montpelier Room, and so did former President Nixon (he ate roast beef there recently). John Tower perches at The Monocle on Capitol Hill, holding court near the fireplace and feasting on London broil. Congressman Dick Cheney's favorite is Germaine's, where he savors the shredded beef Szechuan. Secretary Schweiker, new head of HHS, likes Le Pavilloil, along with Lloyd Bentsen and majority leader Jim Wright. Both Gary Hart and Carolyn Kennedy have popped in to the American Cafe for the lusty salads and delicious soups. The elegant green ambiance of Basil's is attracting many congressmen. It is destined to become the steak house of Capitol Hill, as Bob Carr, Bob Wilson

and Jim Broyhill already know. T.heY even serve coffee grown in the Un1ted States (Hawaii). Hamilton Jordan eyed the bird (quail) at the Apple of :Eve restaurant. Transition players like Jack Sha~~ discovered Le Gaulois, and La .Maree 15 Jim Malone's favorite. Richard Ailben . te has frequented the Hunt Club Jn f Jefferson Hotel, as has SecretarY ~ Defense Cap Weinberger-for t e specials like rack of lamb or eggs 5 ~[~ dou. Both Gil Gude and John Canna. like the true Mexican touch at }{I~ Grande-that way "Big John" doesn miss Texas. r This year's chic spots seem to favo the Jockey Club, with Joy SundJund Jayne Coyne, Candy Sommerville an Joan Braden dining there often. De~cY Stephens enjoys Jean-Louis for on:; ina! specialties and Maison Blanc t beckons the likes of Robert Trend Jones, Ethel Kennedy and SidneY an Evelyn Zlotnick.

GENERAL BARROW (Continued from Page 23) lieutenant and volunteered for a risky mission in China operating against Japanese communication lines that formed a corridor from Hankow to Canton. He was based in "very beautiful country, mountainous, rugged, very underdeveloped, just south of Chungking Lake in Hunan Province." Heading a four-man team working with up to 1500 Chinese guerrillas, they lived off the land and were out of touch with their headquarters the last eight months of the war. "The war was over nine days before we got word of it," he recalls. "I had not heard of such places as Iwo Jima and Okinawa till well after the war." Walking 25 to 30 miles a day for five days, then "holing up for five or six days in friendly Chinese farmhouses," Barrow became ''very pro-Chinese,'' particularly admiring the likeable and hardworking people in the hinterlands. "Unfortunately, most Americans only see Chinese in the big cities," he said. A plethora of more worldly concerns now occupy a portion of his time. For example, the general pondered the current domestic dilemma of the decline of the nation's four basic industries, auto, steel, rail and shipbuilding, which threatens our industrial preparedness for defense or waging war. He acknowledged the problem, one which concerns him as a joint chief, and said it had come about because government policymakers determined to prepare for a "short war," not requiring an industrial mobilization program. He challenges the premise. When war comes, "the military then comes along and makes a demand of industry for what it needs and wrenches industry off its track to comply with military needs, preventing industry from undertaking long-term planning," he said. A government-industry solution must be sought, he believes, with government taking the lead since government created the problem in the first place. From the Reagan administration, Barrow hopes for "special attentiveness to the conventional (as opposed to strategic) forces. The new administration seems to have a global interest and gives increased attention to third world problems, things that transpire outside of NATO," he said. "They know we are increasingly dependent on such places. It follows that if we are to assure our access to such places either for

our

reasons of alliances or resources, w~ must have a security arrangement tha provides for that sort of access whether Conti! it is sea lines of communication or help· ~I ing a friend who needs help to keeP 13~ WCJ 1 from losing that which is important t~ ~3 . 3~ us as well as to him," the general_muto Owner ed.

SO/February 1981 /Dossier

As the Commandant's wife, Patricia Barrow is "on duty" practically around the clock. While many of her tasks fall in the "social" column, they represent strong backup for her husband and the Corps. "For example, a coffee for ladies involved in volunteer work for the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines Club. Most of the things I do aren't earthshaking, but they are constant," she says modestly. Her compassion and thoughtfulness come through as she muses on the role of women, particularly within the Corps, as wives and as Marines themselves. On careers: "There are women in this world who have such talent ... so much to offer. They have every right to expect to be appreciated for what their gifts are. But I think it's difficult to combine marriage and commitment to one man and his career with one's own career. So I'm not really crazy about careers as they relate to young women who have chosen to be Marine wives. There's a great deal they can do that benefits their husband." Both she and the general are supportive of the role played by women Marines. They are now permitted to stay in the service when married, and maternity uniforms are even part of the scene. When both husband and wife are Marines, "The Corps makes every effort to assign both to the same base." But when a woman Marine is married to a non-Marine, that's a "tough" situation, she acknowledges. "In the Marine Corps in the last 10 years it's interesting to me that we've sort of gone through the full arc of opinion: From no babies, careeroriented women-back to women who marry and feel they have enough of a career there. We have had (at the barracks) six babies born of Marine wives in the past four or five months, and in the four years before that, you could count on one hand the number of babies born." No easy reflections, but ones to which Patricia Barrow has obviously given much thought. As a humorous sidelight to a serious subject, she pointed out the portrait overlooking the dining table of General Archibald Henderson, who served 39 years as Marine Commandant. "General Vandegrift sat right there as he announced to guests he had just signed the order making women part of the regular Marine Corps-and Archie fell right down off the wall," she laughed.
