Yale's Alan Shestack who organiz•ed this competent Baldung tribute. "Directions 1981" is not nearly as confounding as the rhetoric in tlhe catalog. Unfortunately, the admittedly arbitrary divisions meant to clarify tlhe aesthetic approaches of the artists, tend to obscure them and to frustrate the viewer. Thus , we are told that the works under the heading "Artistry," "serve no practical function,'' as if any work of art deserving this designation ever was intended to be functional! The purpose of art is art, Kant wisely postulated. To be sure, the fine pasteb of tlrte \vide open midwestern spaces by William Beckman of Minnesota "satisfy the senses" -a criterion derived from the word aesthetic-as much as the innovative video installation by J ames Byrne or Judy Pfaff's exuberant roomsized, mixed media construction "Fotr· mula Atlantic," actually an environment suggesting a wondrously fluid underwater scene. The same, alas, cannot be claimed for Ulrich Ruckriem 's stone slabs. "Myth and Metaphor" provides encounters with the elegant installation of rocks, wood and gleaming copper relating to the great outdoors in Lita Albuquerque's installation, "The horizon is the place that maimains the memory"; Vernon Fisher's witty visual narratives; T homas Rose's unresolved constructed paintings where illusionatry and real compositional elements are played off against each other; Earl Staley's fanciful mythological paint· ings that often lack proficiency; and the curious low-key canvases of pulveriz<:d earth from various archeological sit1es in Meso-America by Michelle Stuart, which assume a number of unexpect<:d connotations. However, when we read "the belief that essential experiences of life can be translated into art'' is "crucial" to the work of these a rtists, we become confused again. After alii, we were taught that all art is derived from life. H as any an from the cave paintings of Lascaux to Picasso's revolutionary '' Desmoiselles d' A vignon" to Judy Pfaff's installation evoer anempted to accomplish anything else? Rosemarie Castoro's imposing sculp· ture of 21 tall galvanized sheets of stee-l, "7 x 3 = 21" which is painted bla<:k and resembles crumpled paper standing upright on edge while at the same time attaining an agitated anthropomorphic presence, is among the most compelling emries. Why it is displayed undt~r "Social Observations" is anybody's guess . "They, perhaps, feel lik:e 11/Apri//981/Dossier

THE WAR OF THE ROSES.

By Warren Adler. New York: Warner Books. 263 pp. $10.95. Warren Adler's eighth novel is a tour deforce and a considerable accomplishment. Jonathan and Barbara Rose, with their fine Kalorama area house, their two well-adjusted children, their cat and dog and shared love of antiques, seem so happy that the sudden collapse of their life t ogether has the impact of a series of hammer blows. In the opening chapter, we learn how they first met at a Cape Cod auction competing fo~ a pair of Staffordshire figurines. They are of English boxers, and young Jonathan and Barbara each snag one-splitting the statuettes but starting a relationship. (Later, when they marry, they agree rather touchingly

that the china figures will do all their fighting for them). The main action starts when Jonatha n , by now a rising Washington lawyer, has what seems at first to be a severe heart attack. He is in New York on a business trip, and Barbara to his surprise and somewhat to her own, fails to rush to his side. Quickly recovered, he taxes her with the failure and she tells him the truth: his life or death means nothing to her and hasn't for a long time. The pair square off for the inevitable divorce, each with a predatory lawyer as a second. As the aggrieved party, Jonathan refuses to leave the house. So he and Barbara wage hand-to-hand combat for the main part of the book. Ann, the pretty au pair girl, becomes a pawn in the contest, and the children more and more terrified onlookers. Both parents turn into hardened campaigners. Who wins the war will not be revealed here, but two examples of their tactics can speak for many. Barbara, a gourmet cook, decides to throw an intimate little dinner party, complete with ambassadors, to show how splendidly free she is. Jonathan sabotages the dinncr in an episode that some will think hilarious and others jarringly unfunny. The key word here is Ex-lax. As one countermeasure, Barbara maneuvers his beloved Ferrari under the electrically controlled garage door and sends the door crashing down on it in pulverizing blows . The mood is increasingly grand guignol but the narrative drive is there, the suspense does build up. No work of fiction just grows untended: every scrap of overheard dialogue, every newspaper entry, every casual insight, adds to the mosaic. So here, as I see it, is some historiography of Warren Adler's story. The title of course, stems directly from The War Between the Tates, a recent novel that also dealt with domestic tensions. The plot is as old as Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale in which the King acquires a sudden, inexplicable aversion to his

At the moment, the Smithf> are in residence at the Jeffe rson along with the Walter Annenbergs, the Caspar Weinbergers, the Bill Caseys, and Morgan Mason. If Rose Narva can provide them with an additional bedroom and bath next door to their su ite, Jean Smith says it might be difficult to get her to move.

Smith couple the social invitations are pouring in, some of them Mrs. Smith says in some wonderment "from people we have never mel." The Smiths are members of that select coterie around Ronald and Nancy Reagan, the press likes to caJI "the group." They are the old friends who for years have spent New Year's Eve together at the Walter Annenbergs in Palm Springs or gone as houseguests together to Sonora, Mexico to stay with Bill and Betty Wilson. (He is President Reagan's special envoy to the Vatican.) "I knew Beuy Wilson at Stanford and she is one of my very best friends. Several of us-Betty, Betsy Bloomingdale. Marion Jor gensen, Bunny Wrather, Lorena Nidorf-like to meet weekly for lunch at the Bistro or the Bistro Garden in Beverly Hilb. Nancy Reagan is usually 100 busy to come to lunch but she usually phones Betty or Marion or Betsy in the mornings." The women members in "the group" are very homogeneous, mostly blondish, mostly well-to-do to very-rich, slender, fashion-conscious, well turned out and as conservative in their tastes and outlook as they an~ in politics ... and, of course, "of a certain age." Stylewise they are tastemali.ers rather than trendseners. No Zandra Rhodes extravaganza~ or funky costumes for Jean Smith and "pants just don't go with my figure," she mourns. Her very favorite designer is Louis Feraud, whose suits she particularly 141Apri/1981/Dossler

favors. "I love him and they're reasonably priced." At the White House dinner for Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, she wore Oscar de Ia Renta's emerald green satin-skirted gown with black velvet bodice. For the British Embassy dinner the following night, a long black lace with patterned purple sequins by Alfred Bosand was her choice. " I am so pleased with this dress, J guess, because I waited until it had been reduced to the point I couldn't resist it any longer." She also has several cocktail dresses by American designer Michael Novarcse. Jean Smith explains that the press frequently con fuses "the group," just ten or more couples who like to spend their leisure time together and plan excursions together, with the ''kit chen cabinet." a much smaller working group of close friends who advised Ronald Reagan en route to and during his two terms as Governor, continuing on in his Presidential campaign. William French Smith was an original member' of the kitchen cabinet along with Holmes Tuttle, Cy Rubel, Jack Hume of San Francisco and Henry Salvatori, among others. Governor Reagan appointed Smith to the Board of Regems of the University of California campuses where he was three-times elected President of the Board. As a member of President Nixon ' s Advisory Commission on Overseas Education and Culture, Smith and his wife made study tours of the Middle

East and Eastern Europe in the mid-1970s. . 10 So how has the cool and very much command o f herself Jean Smith responded to criticism of her husbandfibY the New York Times' William Satre fo r having attended-along with a cou· pie of hundred other persons-a part) for Frank Sinatra.

It is the ~11 rnoved mover of land prices in the etropotitan area, a chunk of property ~ tangibly and intangibly valuable • at, despite appearances to the conary every four years, it is not for sale.

G D recently appraised some property in Potomac at 5700,000," he says. " In Beverly H ills, I would have appraised it at $2 million, and the home here would be better built.·· That 's not to suggest that Washington is a hotbed of property bargains, though there was such a time and it wasn' t so long ago . M ost of us arc st ill kicking ourselves. But in this so-called "economically protected town," where the federal

government employs practically everyone in sight, Will Rogers' axiom about land secml) to ring truer than elsewhere: "Buy it! There're not making any more of it." Buying into the residential property market in Washington, brokers say, requires a c;cnsitivit y to neighborhood location. But be forewarned. There arc no guarantees of consistency in prices from street to st rcet, even house to house, in some :ucas. "Location is important, of course," says Rheiner. So important that the value of property immediately adjacent to the White !l ouse has skyrocketed by over 220 percent in the last five years. "Bu1 in this 1own, v\ hat is, was, and could be on a piece of propeny makes a big difference in value." For example, Georgetown currently is the highest price per square foot in Washington . A single square foot on a typically-sized lot can approach $100. Perhaps the major private land holding there is the cxqui ite ''Evermay" estate on 28th Street. Because of its size amid congestion, each of its 162,253 square feet are valued at about $6.28. T hree blocks away is the equally charming "Tudor Place" estate owned by Armistead Peter Ill . Almost twice as large a~ Evcrmay, each of its square feet arc valued only at a little bet tcr Dossier/April 1981115

than half as much-$3.40. The difference, besides size, is that Tudor Place has a federal easement on pan of its land. Neighborhood remains a vital measure of value because it inlluences demand. With few exception!>, the highest priced !>quare feet in Washington are located in the most prestigious neighborhoods. "That's what makes the 20' x 100' Georgetown lot sell for $150,000," says J. Lee Donnelly, Sr. , of Donnelly & Sons, acknowledged experts in D.C. land values. "What we're talking about is site value. That property may have a sales price of up to $500,000 simply because there's a structure on it, regardless of its condition or present use." Donnelly says that the same is true, though to a lesser extent, in what he calls the "next two hottest residential territories": Kalorama and Massacbusens Avenue Heights. While a square foot in those neighborhoods may not bring top dollar at the moment, they come close and their rate of appreciation is increasing more rapidly than most other prestigious neighborhoods. Median sales prices in Kalorama, which is beautifully bounded by Embass) Row and Rock Creek Park , jumped almost 140 percent from 1975 to 1979. Land value asse:.~mem there increased by 39.3 percent m the last year. Massachuseus A-. en uc Heights, the home ot Washington's turn-of-thecentury mansion!>, show~> similar figures: During the last half of the 70s, median sales increases there were 91.1 percent, with average assessment increases since 1980 at 24 percent. Close behind, says Donnelly, are the neighborhoods of Fore!lt Hilb. Spring YaJiey, Cleveland Parl, Foxhall, the Palisades and Wesley Heightl.-all more than doubling in land value since 1975. B ro ker~ are paying particular auention to the huge homes shaded by tall trees in the Forest Hills section and the large gingerbread houses with wide porches in Cleveland Park. In the last year alone, the average market value of properties in these 1\\0 areas rose by 20 and 18.6 percent, respectively. Showing almo~t as much vtgor in the market are the adjacent neighborhoods of Kent and Berkley, property developed in the 20s and 30s for modest family incomes that now attracts the careful auention of developers and (Continued on Page 66) 16/Apri/198//Doslier

ASQUARE FOOT

CHART TO THE CITY'S WEALTH The longstanding truism in real estate, experts agree, is that use and potential use of property determines specific land value as much as does neighborhood location. This city is no exception. For instance, the cost of a typical Georgetown residential lot (around 1,800 square feet) this year is estimated at over $131,000-or at least $74 per square foot. The same total cost, on the other hand, could buy a lot 300 times as large just 12 miles up the Potomac in the sprawling countryside of Great Falls. Residential property there is divided onJy in acreage, and is destined for minimal use by Georgetown standards. The price per square foot? As low as 4Jq. So as you might expect, the farther from the bean of town and the larger the lot size, the less cost per square foot. With that in mind, let your speculative spirit guide you through the estimated land prices in some of the metropolitan area's prestigious neighborhoods.

Since the beginning of the 19th Cen"_ty, the 68 ~quare mile~ that arc the !listrict of Columbia have burgeoned in nuns. New and rapid growth of neigh~rhoods and land prices coincided ilth times of crisis when, for all the 0Untry, the spotlight was on the Na10n's Capital. \\"That trend began during the Civil ar," says Rufus Lusk Ill, whose real ~tate publishing company, Rufus S. ~sk & Son, Inc. has kept tabs on Y.ashington property ~ales for over 50 !ears. , ''l hecity's population doubled from Q,O()Q to 120,000 in no time as the lO~ernment sought to direct the Union itt effort, 11 Lusk explains. "Once the ~ilr was over, the intlated population 1 " federal employees, soldiers, and hers reqUired massive rebUilding of ()Illes, streets, even the sewer and ~iller systems." With all that activity, the Washingon land market was still in its infancy, Qd scandalously cheap by today's ~ilndards. For instance, public records row the value of a single square foot . Property on a P Street block in eorgetown in 1865 was only 30Q:-up rom a dime in 1815. tifty years later , the nation once 8ain geared itself for war, says Lusk, ~elling WashingtOn 's population to J~er 450 000. World War I caused a ~enous scarnot only of homes in the city, but of fices and schools as well, 11 says Lusk. ~ lhe same years ushered in the age of e automobile, which changed the ~lllplexion of the District as rapidly as ~ War. Neighborhoods expanded in ery direction. The Mall became a arlting loL. More land than ever im~~'lled became paved roadway, graduh~ ~dding to municipal propertre~ in e cuy. And the P Street square foot'? 1 >Value more than doubled to 65¢. i Ely the 1930s and the Great Depreson, the value of that property had 1'1lost doubled LO $1. 15 per square 0 cot.

C~ALIFORNIA VS.

WASHIIfGTON REAL ESTATE: CONTRJilRY PERSPECTIVES A large number of Caljfornians coming to town are opting for compact townhouses with minimum maintenance instead of trying to d11plicate the fo ur acres they own back in Burlingame, notes Washington real,tor Jane Coyne. Besides the lure of opJPosites, she feels th at West Coasters are ordering their priorities according to their different lifestyles in the Capital City.

Their hectic daily schedules, crammed with business and social activities in the legislative a nd governmen t arenas, leave them little time or energy for ou tdoor living. Convenience is at a premium and they find this in the ease and luxury of townhomes in the Kalorama, Georgetown, Spring Valley and Wesley H eights areas of Washington.

More outdoor living. Ev(:rything much more "open." with huge windows looking out on spacious grounds,, although Southern California zoning laws restrict lots to I Vz-2 !12 acres.

Compact townhouses (some Californians disparagingly call them ''brick boxes with small fortress windows.") Largo windows are impractical in cold weather.

Room for tennis court, swimming pool, hot tub and earthquake E:arly warning system, provided spring mudslides don't transplant them onto your neighbor.

Most residents must trek to the riverside suburbs-McLean, Potomac or Great Falls-for a glimpse of courtside pools.

Gardening is a year-round thing. Gardeners plentiful, although getting expensive ($600/month, part-lime).

Gardening is a six-months proposition. [ndividual gardeners are passe. Gardening services are a must.

Mostly one-story, rambli:ng homes, closed to the street, opening on the pool, patio and backyard. No townhouses in Southern California.

Multi-story dwellings, small backyards and a measure of 18th-century charm remains, with townhouses dominating recent residential development.

Spacious entertainment a,rea. Kitchens inconspicuous, out-of-the-way and mainly unimportant.

Entertainment area generally smaller, with a well-equipped kitchen integrated into the living and entertaining of hosts who often pride themselves on their gourmet skills.

Best-constructed old mansions with most land built in the 1930s and since restored.

Distinctive Washington homes dating from the 1800s, finely restored.

Subdivisions, new develojprnents in California all have beautiful landscaping.

Many new developments here bulldoze trees for subdivisions and don't replace them. The older luxury homes retain their trees, but landscaping often limited to springtime bulbs, azaleas and summer roses.

Although one also pays fm "location" in California, that means be:aulifuJ, prestigious areas more than pro:~imity to the city.

In Washington, one pays for the location, meaning closeness to downtown, more than for anything.

Prices are higher than in Washington. given comparable house, facilities and location.

Real estate still a bargain for those willing to pay to Uve in established, comfortable and elite neighborhoods.

orne women, very few to be sure, stand and stride in high heels as if they were born in them. The rest of us aren't that lucky. Our common experience, afler standing an hour or so in new high heel shoes at a cocktail party or in a receiving line, is suddenly to become aware of our feet. The soles arc burning. Pains shoot up the backs of our legs. A pinched toe throbs for attention. Our smile is congealing. We can't concentrate on what anyone is saying. Shifting weight from one foot to another doesn't help at all. That's the moment, if you follow the advice of Dr. Gerald Gelwick, Washington podiatrist, to make tracks for the Ladies' room. There in the privacy of that sanctuary, take off your shoes and s-t-r-e-t-c-h your toes. "Rotating the foot at the ankle also helps relieve pain and foot tension," says Dr. Gelwick. "And before putting your shoes back on, pull the tips of your hose to give the toes more room. Perspiration glues hose to the sole of the foot and, as 301April 198/ I Dossiu

feet swell, the stocking restricts movement and blood circulation.'' Dr. Gelwick gives this advice to women patients who want to get their feet into condition for the rigors of Washington's social seasons. Women who start out with feet in poor condition (hammer toes, corns and plantar warts, ingrown toenails, bursitis at the Achilles tendon, painful calluses, pressure sores related to diabetes, tendonitis, arthritic bone spurs, bunions or damaged foot nerves) embark on months of martyrdom. "Most people take better care of their hands than of their feet," says Dr. Gelwick. "Feet take enormous pressure for their size-hundreds of pounds to the square inch-but in other respects they are far more delicate than hands. They have about one fourth the hands' blood supply. That means there are fewer antibodies in the feet to fight infections from open sores, blisters, abrasions and ingrown toenails. Even cutting too much cuticle from around the

toenail endangers the feet by rernov~ng a natural protection against invas1vr foreign particles, such as street dU_5l that works its way into the unprotecttu area around the nails and can cause infection." Nylon hose that are too short or t~at have a foot size too small in proportion to the leg length can harm the feet a> severely as shoes that are too short. Dr • Gel wick advises women to shop around and find the brand of bose that best acr commodates the length and breadth 0 their feet. Prolonged standing in shoes th81 pinch and squeeze can traumatize the nerves in the feet, sometimes causing a type of nerve tumor that requires sur· gery. Pinched toes are also a cornrnon cause of ingrown toenails, not onlY 8 painful condition, but a source of in fee· tion. e Before going to a party, tune up the feet by rolling an empty coke bo.ttl with your toes. "At the party," ad vases Dr. Gelwick, "keep moving arouJldd Don't stand rooted to one spot. A1l when you get home, take off your shoes, lie on the floor and rest Y0 ~ heels on the edge of a chair for about I minutes." d Because we are not friendly towat our feet , but instead are neglectfU1' even abusive, they get back at us~ 8 "When feet hurt, they reflex (bend f an angle in resistance) to every organ; the body,'' says Chloe Wadswor .

Thus, central surveillance sta10ns that screen out accidental alarms enhance the industry's credibility. During my visit to Dictograph's cen1 ~al station, the two alarms that came in there verified as accidental by a call to e homeowner who gave his name a nd ~~de number to establish identity.

''Total security takes in locks, lighting, alarms and the door itself. Cut shrubbery and leave lights on outside. If it's bright, your chances of being hit are lessened. '' Officer Anthony Murray D. C. Crime Prevention Unit 21 years and in the Washington area since 1975, stresses their triple back-up protection. Phil Consuegra of their Washington office says, " If there's a power outage, our central station com puters run on a gas-driven generator. In the unlikely case of that failing, we have a battery back-up." Although Honeywell's basic home security philosophy calls for strong exterior (perimeter) protection backed up by interior (space) measures in case the first line of defense is penetrated, "peace of mind for the family" is the main concern, Consuegra says. "There are price options. If they want a good interior trap instead of having every window protected, we will do it. It can be as simple as an interior door or infrared passive detectors that detect changes of temperature. We can even keep the detector above the 'pet level' if they have pets. We don't want to change the family's habits. " Ronald W. Cain of Cain Security in McLean offers a security consultation and house survey to design a system to fit the homeowner's lifestyle, pets, possible emergency health require-

ments and particular security needs. The heart of Cain's state-of-the-art 800CE system is a computer control console which monitors a variety of optional sensors-conventional intrusion, breakage, motion or body heat sensors for protection, as well as sensors that will indicate a flood in the basement, fu rnace failure on a cold winter night or even the ambient air temperature in your aviary. Unique to the 800CE system is a direct voice command fu nction which enables the central station, during emergency situations when one or more alarms have been activated, to audibly monitor the house, verifying a crime in progress or a potential health crisis or accident in the home. The central station is then able to notify the police or call an ambulance or neighbor with definite information about the problem. ln selecting from the wide array of home alarm systems, three musts come from Officer Anthony Murray, who conducts home security surveys with the Community Relations Division of the D.C. Crime Unit. 1. The system must have a combination local bell, siren or lights as well as a central reporting alarm .

Melanges like zucchini and cottage cheese casserole or shakes made of soft frozen yogurt, honey, skim milk and fruits are offered as well as a healthoozing sandwich of avocado, tomato, bacon bits and sprouts on pita bread. These restaurants have proven so popular, according to Manager Kenneth Schafer, that the clientele comes to Bloomies just to eat. The Greenbriar restaurant is a cozy white nook on the fifth floor of Garfinckel's downtown store. R obert Van Liendan, who hails from Amsterdam, has been its chef and owner since 1967. The entrance aisle with a dark buffet on one side leads to a room where neat greenery adorns window box planters and white table linens bespeak gentility. The friendly service speaks for itself. The waitresses are plainly anxious to please, whether for a three-course luncheon or a cup of coffee. Van Liendan remembers with amusement when he introduced bar service in 1967 . The older ladies were outraged and temperance groups fought the move with a vengeance. But the restaurant went "wet" and became the fo rerunner of

_.__..~LITE -~ EET Stepping Out In Style By DeWitt Smith

For this spring's fashions , the hot news is shoes. So elite feet, take note and discard the notion that shoes are merely articles to cover the feet. Ditto for pantyhose. They're a virtual cornucopia of colors, textures and heels-such as pastels and pearlized hues-snakeskin, woven leathers and metallics-and the reappearance of the ballerina flat. However, a word to the wise: Don't try to pass off last year's old thickheeled pumps. Clunky is out, and delicate is in. There really is something for everyone this year-flats fo r the whimsical who choose culottes and the above-theknee hemlines, and a fantastic range of heels and styles for those who choose those brush-the-knee lengths which emphasize the American woman's best asset: her legs. And the spring shoes exude quality, whether it 's the piping or the fLn ely stitched soles. The detail is delicate, the accent is soft and the heel is visibly

shapelier. The classic spectator has not only survived but has branched out this year with slingbacks, Chane! toes, open toes and different wingtip designs. Definitely not to be overlooked are pantyhose. The light, pearlized stockings add a touch of shimmer to the leg. "Pearly tints or rosedust tints go with flats or high heels," says Pat Johnson , fashion director at Bloomies White Flint store. With all the colors to choose from, the rule of foot is-match the shoes and stockings. The rainbow starts at the toes and runs all the way up the leg. The trend and the fashion statement are clear-there's absolutely no excuse for duU feet. Washington's elite feet used to go to New York to buy shoes. But no more. Even the venerable Evangeline Bruce admits, "These days I buy a lot of my shoes at a little store in Georgetown." Shoes are moving from clunky to soft and the lower heels are a boon to the

A perfect example of both is Chief of Protocol Lenore Annenberg who states flatly, "I'll be wearing medium heels and soft leather comfortable shoes., One of the reasons is that this year's shoes are so comfortable. Richard Good, shoe department Manager for I. Magnin says, "The main emphasis is light and pretty. And the pretty aspect is opening up the pump whkh is flattering to the foot., One way D.C.'s own First Lady Effi Barry keeps comfortable from morning to night is by wearing open shoes.

does not stay on my foot. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ But narrow feet notwithstanding, shoes are definitely high impact this year. As Garfinckel's designer shoe buyer Larry Garrett says, "Customers are buying everything-from classical navy and white to metallic sandals." "Shoes are the prettiest they've ever been," says April Riccio, Saks Fifth Avenue's Chevy Chase fashion coordinator. "because of the candy and confectionary colors." The color range sounds like a HoJo's ice cream menu- peach, pistachio,

boysenberry are the pearlized pastels. Even with the advent of flats, not everyone is going to run out and buy a ballerina shoe, "but it certainly is a fashion statement," says Woodward & Lothrop Vice President Nancy Chistolini. And oh those evening shoes. For a walk on the wild side, there are bugle beads, sequins, gold and silver meshes, even rhinestones on silver mesh. But the classic dancing pumps of satin and silk are certainly holding their own. And there's a whole lot in between. Lord & Taylor's Catherine di Montezemolo, Vice President and director of fashion says, "We're showing stripped and elegant slings with mid heels for evening." One of the classiest shoes arouind is

the Evins black silk pump with a toe rosette worn by First Lady Nancy Reagan at the lnauguratioon Eve Gala. Both I. Magnin and Neirnan-Marcus carry it. According to Press Secretary Sheila Patton, "The First Lady wears a basic pump with a medium heel all the time, for day and formal wear." Two more opera pump buffs are Buffy Cafritz and Nancy Diclkerson. "The opera pump is my mainstay." says Cafritz, "and Charles Jourdan is my favorite. When Nancy Dickerson travels, she packs three pairs of identical Geoffrey Beene black patent leather pumps with grosgrain bows. They gCI with everything." U

New York City "glamor" was very much on view at the Martha Graham Gala World Premiere of "Acts of Light" and at the pre-dance reception given by Danish Am路 bassador and Mrs. Borch at their handsome modern Embassy where every room bloomed with masses of tulips personally arranged by the hostess. If Martha Graham herself was the preeminent figure on路 stage at the Kennedy Center (she reminisced for 10 or 15 minutes, sitting down in front of the curtain, to the delight of her fans and the discomfiture of others), Baby Jane Holzer was the cynosure of every eye offstage In her back路 less black lace pants with nude- we mean nude- under路 lining.

Food for Thought from Yesterday 's Books

we enjoy prosperity not as the result of mere pluck and luck, but through hard work, determination and dedication to tdeals that has been characterized by our unquenchable thirst to know. It was this intense passion for teaming that kept a young Abe Lincoln far into the night, scratching charcoal ciphers on a shovel back by 0 dim fire :Slight or caused a Ben Franklin to loose his kite square into the thunderstorm's fury. It accounts for the simple stroke of luck that Edison enjoyed, trying that thousandth material for filament when ninety and nine hundred had failed and it shone in the eyes of Jefferson when he worked long and late in a small room on Philadelphia's Walnut Street, preparing what he called "an instnunent to express man's j ustifiable need for selj-determlnatlon. " C ommon and uncommon men have risen to greatness when an era or a11 idea demanded it. Throughow, this love of knowledge-of reading and of books-has typified what is good and great in our forebears and in our land. The ability to better ourselves through thought, comemplation and reflection is the slender thread of which our civilization and our society is woven. A natural curiosity comA!fling us to try every square peg in the round holes of the cosmos is the stuff of which scientists and civil servants, merchants and dtplomats, heroes and heroines are made. And when man loses the ability or the desire to pursue intellecwal fulfillment-that overWhelming urge to know, absolutely and definitely-then does man cease to be free. H ere at Yesterday's Books, we strive to be comprehensivists-in our selection and in our world omlook. Oliver Wendell Holmes once SC:id, "When you sell a manu book, you proffer not merely 12 ounces of paper, ink and glue, but rhe opportunity for a whole new life." For you see, aidi11g this universal quest for knowledge is not only our livelihood-our appointed niche on rhe planet-but what we l>erceive to be the hopes and dreams of all mankind. Books are not our product, they're our friends and children, our teachers and triumphs and our escape from the shackles of single mindedness, tedium and ennui. Those who ha•'en 't escaped imo pages wrirten a hundred days or years ago are poor indeed-poor in spirit and mind-an unneccessary poverty. Trying to provide for the reading and selj-enriclrmem needs of Washingtonians is whar we've been doing, and doing well for nearly a decade. If your book buying has been limited to the "discount" new bookshops, a word of explanation is in order. New book shops ~ually offer a few thousand titles, selected on the basis of seasonal popularity and 011 what the publiShers are promoting at the time. At esterday 's Books, we ojjer 80,000 hand selected titles, nearly all different and all chosen for their ability to provoke, to inform and to ~enjoyed. We categorize them into over 220 areas of imerest and you'll rc.>cogniz,e that our offerings illustrate not only what's trendy or sprr~1g, but what has endured and been proven popular in America throughout the years. ~ tTr

75 YEARS YOUNG For a business that reputedly was launched on the f lip of a coin, Washington real estate giant Shannon & Luchs has lasted a long time-celebrating their 75th birthday recently-now employing a workforce of 1200. The coin flip supposedly decided whether Foster Shannon's father, then 23, or Ken Luchs' grandfat her, 22, would be President o f t he firm, which Shannons have headed ever since. Both families epitomize the "boundless energy, fighting spirit for numerous causes, and faith in the futu re of Washington" attributed to Luchs' father in a newspaper editorial.

The danger is forgetting do so, and therefore instantaneous larms are sometimes favored. Tom Smith's Security, Inc., in ethesda incorporates various comnents into one system to meet inividual security needs and budgetary Onsiderations. "We buy from many ources, so J talk abou t which of 50 Ystems would fit the client's needs," c says. We design the system around hat the customer's needs require." To assure fair value received, Smith ec~rnmends that customers get ~cveral llmates and check the alarm comany's reputation with the Better u~i ness Bureau. He also feels that the 0 rnpany should have an electrical contactor's license and that a licensed aster electrician should oversee inlallation work. ADT Security System's newest total e\idential security system, the 1525 l~tem, is housed in a single control net, usually installed near the main trance of the house. Security sensorc; ay include window and door comacts. .essure-switch noor mats, photoelecc beams, ultrasonic motion detectors 1 lld heat and smoke detectors. In single-family homes the unit is 0 nnected to an ADTcentral station, of hich there are more than 150, in the :S., Canada and Europe. In a condonium or other multi-family residence e Unit may be integrated into a central Onitoring console with voice com ll~icat ions to security personnel, C\1atns Robert Schoua, ADT''> sales anager in Maryland and Virginia.

zone system which identifies exactlY where trouble lies when part of the home security system malfunctions. For example, if an open window makes it impossible to arm the system, the cir· cuit which regulates that area will in· dicate that part of the house. BesidC) making it easier to service, this feature permits the homeowner to shut off the offending circuit leaving the rest of thr premises protected and to leave for the beach rather than await a service call. Riley says. Riley points out that if two or three of the circuits go out, usuaiJy it's not accidental. "Because the police re· spond more qu..ick.Jy to that type of signal, the apprehension rate on our system eight is double that of the con· ventional system with only one circuit," he reports. Potential buyers who always wanted to know everything (but were afraid tO ask) about home security systern 5• should get hold of Wells Fargo's G11idt Book on Security. This glossy publica· tion covers the field from the historY of the company's Pony Express days to 3 thorough rundown on all the detection and protection devices on the market· There are photos and charts to helP select a system on the basis of Under· writers' Laboratories' ratings of aJarrns and suitability of placement in th~ home, extent of protection, police~ 11 guard response, listed central stat1° and a number of other factors. ' IS Wells Fargo's Robert Duvall p010 out that the company's Pony Express Residential Security service offers sen; try digital dialer alarm systems th~ come close to the comprehensive har • wired residential systems protecting ~he millionaires' homes. A major selbnS point is that the transmjtter uses orj dinary phone lines at no additiona monthly charge to provide alarm cornl munication to Wells Fargo's centra stations. . h Besides installation costs whtC range from $1,300 to $14,000 or more. most companies charge a monthlY cen~ tral station fee, roughly equivalent 10 phone bill. 0 If you're in the market, here are tWst·. facts to consider. One Great Falls reed dent who had an alarm system instaH. i was Bernard C. Welch, alleged thl.~t and accused murderer of card~olos:at Halberstam. He admitted to pohce tl b· in his thousands of successful roto beries, only once did he attemPt tar burgle a house equipped with a bur~"as alarm. Apparently, that once 0 enough.

The catch is that you have to buy more in the luxury countrY neighborhoods such as Great FaUs, po· tomac and River Oaks. Occasional ~mall lots in those areas command high prices: a lot 6,250 square feet in Rive~ Oaks, for instance, recently was value at $ 18 per square foot. Washington's commercial land mar· ket is no less a tempest these daYS· Thornton Owen, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Thomas J. Owen & Sons. the olde~t and largest appraisal firm in t~C: 111 Di!>trict, says" ... it's going bonkers the downtown area." aln October, for instance, The N . 0 tional Food Processors Associalf ~ paid $530 a square foot for a balf blOC of downtown land at New York Aventle and 14th Street, walking distance frotfl the White House. The total price of $9.5 million pro~ 0 duced a profit of more rhan $8 rnilh for the previous owners who bought the property in 1977 for $ 1.2 miUion.

Says Owen: "The value of a piece of ·Ommercial property depends on what You can do with it and how badly someOne needs it. " William S. H arp, President of the merican Institute of Real Estate Apraisers agrees, adding that even in ommercial treasure hunting, location elps determine value. Most brokers agree that the hottest. nd most expensive- commercial land alues today are located in the area west f 16th Street, N.W. to Washington ircle, and north of Pennsylvania Ave. uc toM Street, N.W. "The closer you are to a desirable Pot, the higher the cost," Harp says, ointing to the downtown area bound~ by 7th and K Streets, N. W. on one :de and 8th and H Streets on the other. That location was designated in 1977 [o be the site for Wal>hington'!> propos~d. convention center. Since then, the dJoining land values have tripled."

I ''Supply and demand tell s the ftory," says Owen. "Primary districts ~re at a premium now. The secondary nlark.et won't last long." There are indications of a huge influx f investors joining the Washington ~Ommercial land rush. Institutional inLestors, such as insurance companies ~nd owner / occupants such as law firms nd trade associations have been shellng out top dollar for downtown land. nd lately, what real estate brokers call 'deep pockets"-the foreign and doestic megabucks folks who can afford rime market val ues as investems-have been moving into town. On the whole, District commercial and values jumped over 25 percent in he last year. While tight money, high nterest rates and run a way inflation Lh~uld slow the market this year, sales rrtces are expected to escalate by at east 15 percent per year through 1985, rokers agree. Donnelly concludes, ''The District's conomy is more stable than elsewhere ~~lhe nation. So long as that's the case, ~ere'!l be an intense interest in prime ~ as~mgton land, commercial and resiCnttal. It's just not likely to end rnYtime soon." 0
