MR. JEFFERSON'S UPLAND VIRGINIA.

THE BLAIR-LEE HOU E- GUE T HOU E OF THE PRE IDENT.

By Robert Llewellyn. Charlottesville: Upland Publishing Co.

By Eleanor Lee Templeman. McLean.

For at least a dozen years, Thomas Jefferson had to be far away from his beloved Monticello. Throughout two terms in the White House and four Years duty in Paris, he was unabashedly homesick for the white-columned mansion with its glistening Palladian rooftop and fertile acres surrounding it.

Later, he also yearned for the university he had established nearby, to live up to his ideals of equal opportunities for all.

The reader /viewer senses this brilliant man's devotion to home and family, and can't but realize the sacrifices he illade in h'is nation's behalf, when he left behind all that he held most dear.

Bow he must have longed for terracotta sunsets beyond blue mountain ranges, for springtime furrows turned to welcome the seeds of summer, for snowy shadow patterns across fields and brooks. He loved the songbirds, the rabbits and baby deer on the farm and Wanted always to be near to his daughters and grandchildren. He never found contentment far from the protec-

tion of Monticello's sheltering walls and fences.

Mr. Jefferson's Upland Virginia introduces us to our tall, red-haired, intellectual and fun-loving third President in a new and poignant way and gives us a deeper understanding of the stirring words he penned for us long ago-especially those that describe our inalienable right for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

s anyone who goes to movies knows with certainty, every Washington office overlooks the White House, the Capitol, the Washington Monument or the Jefferson Memorial. Except for a lucky few, it is not that way in real life.

So, what make a prestige office in Wa hington?

management consulting firm. Preleas· ing agreements are running higher than the $20 figure, as much as $25, several brokers pointed out.

There are few disputes amon g brokers about the best general office locations in Washington, D.C . TheY agree also that the choice is subjective.

Lawyers, for example, who deal with a specific agency like the FCC or the FTC prefer to be as close as possible to their bureaucratic opposites.

Fred Ezra, Senior Vice-President with Julien J. Studley, Inc., provides a succinct summary of the general pal· terns of premier office space in Wash· ington. He listed, in order of their desirability, downtown, Georgetown. the "West End" and the Pennsylvania Avenue Corridor as prime presti ge locations.

It's taken almost for granted among brokers and office les sees that the center of it all (Ezra offhandedly called it "the center of the universe") is Con· necticut Avenue and K Street.

Neil J. Simon, vice president with Carey Winston Co., noted that mosl leases in the prime area average be· tween $17 to $18 per square foot , though "quotes are up now to $25.''

U/Ju/y 1980/Dossier

l'he quoted price per foot is an annual co t, payable monthly.

De cribing the area of downtown, ezra says that 16th Street traditionally has been the ea tern border for the be t space, though there's been a tendency recently for that boundary to move east. The centra l district generally exlends north and, with the Connecticut an d K center, west of the White Hou c, bordered by Mas achusett Avenue on the nonh, ew Hampshire Avenue on the we t and Pennsylvania Avenue on the outh.

But ary Lawrence, of Barne , Morris & Pardoe, note the apparent trend or an acceptable area for office lea ing to move ea twa rd. "I see the trend of a ll1ovement downtown between 16th and l ith treet and eat to Pennsylvania venue in that whole quadrant."

The building of the Convention Center will pur the ea tward migration he ay , foreca ting that the 16th o II th treet area could eventually teal orne of the pre tige from the 'golden triangle" area north and mostly west of the White House.

Pennsylvania Avenue location, and also that the market for Georgetown property was deliberately diluted by the decision of Georgetowners not to allow subway service, a factor which all brokers cited as a salability factor .

"Nothing compares with downtown in terms of prestige office space,'' Ezra says. "Basically, people who do business downtown are going to stay downtown."

But, he added, not everybody needs it. "A lot of people don't want to be downtown," he points out, referring to the burgeoning office building complexes in areas like Old Town Alexandria, Bethesda and the nearby counties where executives are closer to their residences.

that "think tanks" of all kinds were finding it desirable to move to the better suburban office locations, which he considered, in the order of their acceptability, Tyson's Corner, Bethesda, Montrose Road, Arlington and Fairfax.

Computer firms, associations and other types of firms have recently moved there, rather than downtown.

Kay calls the corner of Old Georgetown Road and Wisconsin Avenue, a half block from the subway, the busiest intersection in Bethesda. He points out that a building on the corner being built

by Rozansky & Kay will bring a price of $13 per square foot, but that a building scheduled for leasing in the 1983 market is expected to bring a price closer to $17 per square foot.

Donald Brown, a partner with J.B.G. Associates, is currently leasing Courthouse Square in Old Town Alexandria.

"Typically," he says, "suburban of-

fices don't have the same quality as downtown." But Courthouse Square appeals to those who appreciate tradi· tiona! architecture.

The building has been done with the same quality as a building downtown. including a marble lobby.

"I think the thing that makes il special is that it's in the center of Old Town," he says, noting that space is leased in the building for $12 to $14 per square foot.

Neil Simon lists the primary suburbS as the Tyson's Corner area of Fairfa~ County, followed closely by Bethesda· He said that office space in the Tyson's area ran from $11 .50 per sq uare foot 10 $13.50, and that space in the besl Bethesda locations costs from $11 .50 to $12.50 per square foot. To many, the suburban locations are equally pres· tigious especially to long-term Wash· ington area residents.

Scott Ross, vice president of Donohoe Construction, offers a sub· jective view of what gives an office building prestige. "It's a combination of the air, the crispness of the design. the quality that goes into it." Accord· ing to Ross, quality is reflected in such areas as the style and decor of tht elevator and the types of retail outlets that surround the entrance to the building.

"You can't rule out areas lik e Capitol Hill with a view. Anything with a view of the Capitol demands a higher dollar. Just like anything within throw· ing distance of the White House," saY Jim Eichberg with Braedon CompanY· "If it overlooks a park downtown (such as the office of well-known lawyer Edward Bennett William s, whose office overlooks Farragul Square) or any of the monuments, then it's a plus," offers Jay D.

CARlA HillS: Optil}g for

EXcellence

It's a matter more of excellence than lrestige, said former Housing and Urban ~evelopment Secretary Carla Anderson ~ills as she looked out at the Washingon Monument from her new 12th floor lffice on New Hampshire Avenue, one lf Washington's prime office toeaions.

"It's not important where you pracice law," said Hills, now a partner in he Los Angeles-based law firm of -atham, Watkins and Hills, "but how ~ell."

She occupies the corner office on the tighest floor of the building, and broad ~indows along both the south and west ~ails allow a 180 degree view of prime larts of Washington. Her desk is eparated from the seating area-deep Ushioned chairs around a glass-topped able-and is made of well-polished ~ood shaped in a wide oval and suplorted by bright silver legs.

On two walls are reflections of her tigh-level government past: pictures ~ith President Ford; a formal portrait ~ith high-ranking members of the lustice Department (she was United ;tates assistant attorney general before ter 1975 to 1977 stint as HUD secreary); honorary certificates signed by )residents Nixon and Ford noting her tppointments to the Department of lustice and as secretary of HUD. In the lffice is her cabinet chair, a traditional ~ift for a department cabinet officer.

"I've come a full circle. I'm back to loing what I was before," she said with 1slight laugh, explaining that she was a lartner in a law firm soon after she :raduated.

Her husband Roderick, who served ts counsel to the president in the Ford tdministration, is also a partner in the 'irm. The couple have four children.

Wearing a mauve jacket over a llouse with a matching tint, she sat lehind the oval desk and explained the teed for the presence of her firm, and terself, in Washington. "We have a tumber of national concerns we repreent as a firm and they all have ~ashington problems. In addition, ve're an East Coast window for a West ~oast firm. We also do a considerable

Carla Hills in her office overlooking the city. amount of work in New York and Boston, as well as the Southeast."

Though she works primarily out of her office in Washington, the work takes her often outside the city. "I travel very frequently to California and elsewhere. Tomorrow, I leave for New York. Wednesday I'll be in San Francisco. Thursday in Los Angeles. Friday in San Diego, then back here."

There are 13 attorneys currently in the Washington office of the firm, one of the largest in California.

"If you understand government, and you have established credentials, then you can render a service," she pointed out.

She said that her life, "from an external point of view," lacks the attention and the glamor of a member of the cabinet, "in terms of contact with people

like the president, and other cabinet officers. That's the external point of view.

You'd pick up a newspaper and see what I was doing. But I still ee people of cabinet level," he aid.

Law in Washington is different, also, from law elsewhere, she added. "The questions often involve policy nuances in addition to legal tangles. You get a third dimension. It's very common to have a difficult legal problem that has, in addition to it, a policy nuance that may be a compHcating factor," she explained.

She has experienced many differences between her new role as lawyer and her old role as a cabinet officer.

As secretary of HUD, she worked 16 hours a day, six days a week. "There are very few clients who can push me to that," she said smiling.

f you believe the girl behind the Woodie's cosmetics counter-and it's hard to imagine such a shining, blemish-free face lying to you-then you'll accept it when she tells you that more and more of her customers are men buying products for themselves.

And before you raise an unplucked eyebrow, take a look around the counter at the array of lotions and creams for men.

Yes, men's cosmetics (a term the industry assiduously avoids) has become big business here in Washington, as it has elsewhere around the country. It's already one of America's biggest growth industries, producing highly profitable returns for such formerly distaff houses as Chane!, Estee Lauder, Irma Shorell and Clinique.

Only a few short years ago cosmetics for men were the exclusive province of the gay community. But in the late 1970's -and primarily during the past three years-the straights have come out of the closet. They're in the bathroom now, laden with shaving gels, aftershaves, moisturizers, scruffing lotions, astringents and skin creams-all purported to hide wrinkles, soften skin, retard aging and replace lost moisture.

male to look young. How young?

Somewhere between teenage acne and that first sag under the eye.

Although they won't reveal any figures, the cosmetics houses, most of which are privately owned, do admit that men's sales are booming. They concede their men's products are still only a fraction of the women-dominated business, but they confidently predict a very healthy future, despite current economic woes. Candy Neiman, the cosmetics manager at Bloomingdale's at Tyson's Corner, says she's seen a forty percent sales growth in just the past six months.

"The growth has been phenomenal, but this is just the tip of the iceberg."

She adds that Bloomingdale's is now giving more store area to men's skin products. "The lines are selling well," she says, "and men are slowly getting into treatment, too. But going beyond moisturizer is still very daring for them." Liz Wozniak of Aramis' says about seventy percent of men "are still not ready to accept skin care, although it is becoming okay to pay attention to yourself." Aramis is so confident about the trend toward men's skin care, it has three brands on the marketAramis, Aramis 900 and Devin. She

sees aggressive sales trends on the East and West Coasts and throughout the sun-belt area.

And it's the same all over Washing路 ton. David Milbrandt of Garfinckel's attributes the industry's takeoff to men getting over what he calls "the psychological barrier" of treating their skin. Three or four years ago, he points out, you wouldn't see a man sit down at a cosmetics counter and ask about hiS skin. "But as men have become more aware of their appearance, they realize these products are aids, and they decide to use them."

At the Key West Shop in White Flint, manager Joyce Kearney judges that one third of her sales now are to men, although she admits their initial reac路 tion is resistance. Key West features compounds containing aloe, a tropical medicinal plant used for centuries to treat burns and skin ulcers . It is also a popular moisturizer. Joyce says hef male customers often are reticent at first because they know only the tradi路 tiona! male products-shaving crea!TI. aftershave and deodorant. But, she adds, many men who purchase the small sizes initially come back for the larger sizes. "I can't ever remember a man returning something. They just

don't do it." She says she reorders her men's lines about twice a month. Her stock turn over every sixty days.

Joyce is somewhat of a marketing analyst when it comes to drawing up a composite picture of her White Flint men. "The typical man who uses skin care products is confident, decisive, does well in business, and he knows who he is." He is somewhere between his late 20's and mid 50's, has a high income, and "he makes quick decisions.

A man finds a product he likes, he sticks with it. It becomes part of his self-image."

Candy Neiman says the typical Bloomingdale's male is between 35 and 55, usually a professional type. She also sees many airline personnel because of the excessive dryness of commercial airliners. Joyce says she rarely sells to overweight men. "All the men custo-

mers seem to be the athletic type, into some sport or another. That's the opposite of women. Overweight women love cosmetics and scents."

The jargon of the trade demands that you distinguish between skin care products, the alleged fountains of youth, and the "scents," the aftershaves, colognes and the fragrance shampoos.

Most manufacturers are very careful not to include even the slightest hint of mint or lime or whatever in their men's skin care lines. The smelly stuff is okay for aftershaves, but no macho man worth his hard-milled soap would be caught smelling from his cleanser! The fragrances serve another purpose too.

Like the Sirens luring sailors to the shoals, the "scents" lure the buyer toward newer and costlier grooming products by capitalizing on consumer identification. The old ushers in the new sans fragrance.

One of the few firms to deal exclusively with the face is Clinique. Gloria Plaut is quick to admit that the only difference between her firm's products for men and women is that the men's line is a bit stronger, because a man's skin is tougher. Gloria says men traditionally have drier skin than women, but at the same time they have fewer skin problems because shaving helps remove the dead skin cells from the face, a procedure women help along by scruffing with an abrasive.

Clinique, like other men's skin care manufacturers, sticks very close to what is called a basic regimen. Men are used to showering, shaving and an aftershave. So most products for men are designed to fit into a man's routine without adding extra time.

Irma Shorell's husband, H. Allen Lightman, explains that a man gets into skin care "when it's simple and straight, and when it fits in with his normal routine." Light man estimates that a man spends three to four minutes each morning and evening before the bathroom mirror. That's why, he says, Irma Shorell products for men feature a shave cream/ skin cleanser and an aftershave that has a skin conditioner added to it. "We also found that men do not like to use jars-too similar to women's cosmetics. So we package ours in tubes and plastic bottles. That way there's no stigma." If you can't have a stigma in the privacy of your own bathroom, where can you?

Clinique's Gloria Plaut says the men's line was introduced in December 1976. "There was no advertising, no promotions. We wanted to see where its

place was in the market. And it took off about two years ago." But Lightman traces the beginnings of men's grooming products to the advent of suntan lotion used visibly on the beach. Once a man found that he could slop on the grease and not arouse a sea of shoreline snickers, he quickly moved on to other grooming aids-hair creams, aftershaves and now face and body preparations. Lightman claims many Hollywood stars and Washington politician are devoted skin care users. He mentioned the late Gary Cooper, Tony Curtis and Martin Balsam, but when pre sed to share the intimate secrets of Capitol Hill, he demurred. "Someofthosepeople wouldn't like it to get around. It's an image thing, you know." It seems our legislators believe it's okay to share \ power, but not powder, with women.

Aides to Senators William Cohen,

Now comes a good "scruff" using Scruffing Lotion from Clinique to tighten the pores and refine the skin.

William Proxmire and John Warner were quite in istent that their bosses use nothing on their face, not even a little moisturizer after a long hot, arid floor debate. And two of Washington' best known newsmen were equally unreserved in their replies. W JLA Channel 7's David Shoumacher says he uses nothing but Dial soap-"and a little Powder to cut the glare on my high forehead when I'm on camera." But men's skin care products don't surprise him. "In a town like this, where there is so much profiling, you'd expect a lot of men to use the stuff."

Gordon Peterson of WDVM Channel 9 uses the same regimen. "The makeup guy puts a little powder on my forehead . Other than that, I don't use anything. When I'm out sai ling I use some suntan lotion, the stuff my wife has lying around the house. That's

Henry takes a good face scrub recommended for once a week use to further tighten the skin with another Clinique preparation.

probably why l have so many wrinkles," he adds quickly.

Yet despite booming sa les and growing acceptance, don't expect to see men's skin care products advertised much in the major men's magazines. It just ha n't happened. At Chane! a spokeswoman explained: "Our advertising philosophy is sedate, understated-laid back if you will." Chane! does some promotional work at the stores-Bloomingdale's, Woodward & Lothrop, Garfinckel's. But the spokeswoman said "we rely on our estab lished lines to create customer recognition for new product . And we don't come out with products too often. Lightman says Irma Shorell wants to sell to both men and women.

"With costs what they are today, we have to get the most out of our advertising dollar. We have to go with the magazine_s that reach both sexes."

What all this means of course is that it's st ill the woman who knows what's what when it comes to those squeeze bottles and tubes, and that's where the advertising dollar will be spent.

If you think wading through the brand names is a chore, try separating the moisturizers with so luble collagen and sodium ribonucleic acid from clarifying lotion with SO alcohol 40, purified water, witch hazel, etc. and face conditioner with walnut oil, octyl dimethyl paba, myristyl myristate and several other equally impressive names.

But before you run over to Georgetown University for a refresher course in chemistry, listen to what one of the area's most prominent dermatologists has to say .

"There's a good deal of mytho logy about ski n care these days," says Dr. William Narva. He is a professor and chairman of the department of dermatology at the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine, Bethesda. And he is the consu ltant to the White House and Congressional physicians. "Basically, good skin comes from being genetically blessed with it at birth. It's just one of thousands of predetermined genet ic traits."

Dr. Narva notes that the proces by which the skin rejuvenates itself and gets rid of it dead cell is ca lled keratinization. "Dead cells come off naturally, as imperceptible dust." Skin "ages" because it loses its elasticity-a process that is speeded up by ultraviolet radiation. Normally, the darker the ski n , the greater the barrier there i to ultraviolet radiation and the slower the

lo of kin cia ticity. Dr. Narva e plain that the oil- cretin g ebac ou glands, the weat gland , and th e elastic fibers of the kin are all located below the epidermal layer of kin. Many products, he say , don't penetrate thi layer.

Thus, Dr. Narva explain , 'a lot of called kin care i an optical illu ion."

Which, a many of tho e interviewed eemed to suggest is the point of the exercise. As for endorsing the u e of overthe-counter product , he demurs. ' If it doesn't harm you, fine." Many men who have tried the new product think they look and feel better. That, after all, ha a great deal to do with the phenomenal uccess of the cosmetic industry. Judging from the copiou amount of male vanity encountered in Washington, one can expect to see the masculine cosmetic indu try spurt ahead in the year to come.

Old hands said the French Embassy hadn't glittered as much since chic Madame Alp hand left. But French Ambassador and Mrs. de Laboulaye outdid even her with a Christian Dior benefit for Cambodian children. Dance combined with fashion created a luscious theatrical confection that won the hearts of even the most stoic male guests.

Ballet dancers Valentina Kozlovia and Leonard Kozlov, recent defectors from the Soviet Union, illustrated a thematic fantasy in dance. But the emphasis was on fashion as the spellbinding show unfolded in the grand foyer of the embassy, ending to the sustained applause of the audience.

The guests were as fashionable as the show. Among them were Rose Marie Bogley, Monica Greenberg, Ann Hand, Eliane Gautrat, and Nuah Alhegelan.

The Educated Palate SAVORING THE CULINARY JOYS OF A COUNTRY INN

country inn on a lazy summer's evening can be both a delightful change of pace and a sanctuary.

If the food is good, then you've got a Welcome bonus.

A wonderful whitewashed nook out of Provence can be found in Great Falls at L' Auberge Chez Francois. Francois liaeringer and his family take great care in creating the bustling rustic ambience. There's a two-week wait on reservations.

With an ever-changing menu, dePending on freshness, offering such items as succulent rabbit casserole and soft-shelled crabs. A choice from the lavish homemade dessert table, disPlayed at the entrance is worth that extra effort, and the wine list is carefully chosen. The cuisine is "honest." To a ~<'renchman that translates into 'terrific,' especially for the customer.

Evans Farm Inn, 1696 Chain Bridge Rd., McLean, Va., is a charming, homey restaurant in colonial trappings that sits on a farm where they grow many of the fresh vegetables served. It has been a family favorite for 22 years, but don't let those cozy dining rooms With colonial pottery fool you-they served 2,600 dinners last Mother's Day! A copious salad bar with homemade relishes and jams awaits the hungry diner, with starters like Eastern Shore

A

crab soup served by help in colonial garb. Smithfield ham or roast duckling, tender with a lively orange sauce, are apt choices joined by specials like a tenderloin steak and quail combination. The delectable spoon bread shou ldn't be missed, and you'll find a large selection of carefully chosen wines from which to choose.

Owner Ralph Evans touts the downstairs Sitting Duck Pub as well, where only choice labels of liquor are served .

It's a fine place for warm Sunday brunches and heady late night Irish coffee.

The Hunter's Inn, Potomac Village, Md., and 9834 Georgetown Pike, Va., is entirely different. A rustic bar belies the airy dining room, which features rust and green chintz Bentwood chairs in a brick and wood paneled decor.

Owner Naval Mehra emphasizes freshness throughout his menu and offers both value and originality. The snails, for instance, are cloaked in a little casserole, doffing a cap of puff pastry to seal in their garlicky fragrance.

Curried lamb shank is another unusual entree-the fresh-made curry is authentically fiery! Fresh rockfish or aged steaks with a lively salad bar and courteous professional service bring the clientele back, many from nearby Congressional Country Club in Potomac or

Continued from Page 35 the horse farms near his new inn in Great Falls.

Mr. Mehra likes the "stability" of the suburbs and is proud of the fact that his repeat customers eat there as often as three times a week!

Nearby Poolesville sports The Meadowlark, an unpretentious white clapboard house filled with colonial charm.

Trudie Zirpolo enthusiastically mans the dining room while husband Michael cooks some extraordinary offerings .

The rooms are homey with early American ornaments and crockery. Waitresses in colonial garb cheerfully assist.

One automatically receives a relish tray and crackers, and cheese diphighlighted with horseradish, cottage and cheddar cheeses. If you are coming in from the heat, try the pickled herring, piled high on the plate, or the lusty chicken liver pate.

The Blair Mansion Inn, 7711 Eastern Ave., near the Maryland line in Silver Spring, is a stately mansion built in the late 1800's. The dark orange walls of the dining rooms are contrasted by hunter green floral curtains and matching tablecloths. The Clams Casino are an especially good beginning, but time marches on, and some things have changed . The marvelous salad bar of yesteryear is now a memory (though the dinner salad is fresh and good), and though the menu says " Roast Duck Chesapeake . . . served in casserole" the entree now comes for you to carve .

It's not nearly as tender. Crab Imperial is a great success, creamy and sparked by pimentos. Homemade apple fritters served alongside entrees are still a treat!

The players may come and go, but Old Angler's Inn, 10801 MacArthur Blvd., in Potomac, Md., always stays the same. It's a lovely drive out there, as evening brings refreshing coolness, and the inn remains a picturesque and romantic stop. Cushy sofas downstairs soften the effect of the hefty cocktails served.

The upstairs dining room has atmosphere, if not elegance, but the service more than compensates. Try to reserve the seat at the window to enjoy the calm scenery while sampling the house pate or tasty Caesar salad. The "Rack of Lamb for Two"-tender lamb fragrant with rosemary-surrounded by a plethora of fresh cooked vegetables, is truly a reason to trek out there. Lobster tails are very popular as· well, and the wine

A for growth in demand, Franklin say that there currently "i a vacancY factor of about one-half of one percent, which is extremely low. Generally, in Wa hington, we carry about a three percent margin of unrented pace available for occupancy right now. It' incredibly tight, if a tenant i in the market now. For future occupancy. there is space available," he adds.

Simon, with Carey Winston, elabo· rate : "l can't compare anything with what I've seen in the last four years.

People are doing wild thing out there," an example of which, he says, was the leasing by one firm of 10,000 square feet of office space to get I ,500 square feet of space the firm needed · The company then subleased the re· maining 8,500 square feet of space.

"Rents in the proven downtown market are going to be far in exce of $20 a square foot," Jeff Cohen ay · "There's such a pent-up demand for office pace that we haven't met much re i tance. It's still a landlord's market .

There are different types of deals todal than were being made a year ago."

While office condominiums are not yet proliferating, Milt Scheiderman.

President of the Panache Builder • Inc., points out that the condo method enables smaller users of office space to purchase their space and get all the benefits of home ownership, like ta~ breaks and appreciation.

Scheiderman's group is currentlY selling the first condominium office building in Montgomery County, Thf Executive Building at Executiv e Boulevard and Montrose Road. Price run about $120 a square foot and th space is especially attractive to smaller users in the I ,000 to 4,000 foot cate· gory. He reports that the first section i 9007o sold out. It is a joint venture witll the Berger-Berman Group.

Irwin Altman, executive vice pre i· dent with Charles E. Smith Company, major lea ing and developmen firm,believes that prestige pace in thi area i "practically anywhere."

"There' a lot of it," he say , add in.

Wax ecstatic about some of the individUal offices created by their clie nt .

A.mong those mentioned were: the office or attorney Leonard Melrod at 1801 K St., N . W. ("What Hollywood would say an office should be," says Brannock); the office of Foley, Lardner, Hollabaugh and Jacobs, a law firm, at 18th and Pennsylvania Ave.; the offices or Arnold and Porter at 1200 New Hampshire Ave.; the office of Norman Singer, a lawyer at Watergate, whose View overlook the Potomac; the offices of the U.S. League of Savings & Loans at 1709 New York Ave., overlooking the area from the Corcoran Gallery to National Airport; the executive offices of the Charles E . Smith Company in Crystal City; and many rnore too numerous to cite. ' Most of the better office buildings have underground parking, sophisticated heating and air conditioning systems normally operating from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. One broker mentioned that more offices today are being designed with saunas, private r bathrooms with showers, elaborate lounge areas and whirlpool baths. ln addition to the height limi t on buildings in Washington, D.C., there also is a built-in limitation on interior 1 space as well .

"There must be a course in law School that says a lawyer must have a Window," one broker opined .

Because of that demand for direct e light, those in the business of building and leasing prestigious buildings know better than to include an over abuny dance of interior floor space. If it gets e too spacious, there will be too many ofe fices without windows, and executives e 1Vill shun the place . :S George Voores of Coldwell Ba nker Points out that "buildings in Washing:r Lon are not spectacular, and so the in~- leriors have to be appea ling." i . "There tends to be specialization in 11 Interior planning, and the interior planning can sometimes conflict with the exi· lerior . The private sector in New York a builds magnificent monuments. In 1 Washington, who does it?" He exi. Plained that most of the monument building in Washington had been done If by the government and that the go vern~ llnent hold re ponsibility for most of I) 1he city' s architectural appeal, from the ,, Capitol to the White House, a nd the e llnany other famous structures.

A Lee wa largely re pon ib le for ongress to l ocate the per uading capital here. So close were the Blair to President Abraham Lincoln that it was at Blair House that Lincoln offered the command of the Union armie to Robert E. Lee. The Blairs have been Jack sonian Democrat , Free Sailers, Republican and after the Civil War, Democrat again. General Frank Blair wa the Democrat ' un ucces ful candidate for the Vice-Presidency in 1868. W hether in or out of favor with the White House, they continued to produce general s, admirals, cabinet officer , tate men and men of letter , and their womenfolk et the ocial tone of their day. In thi century, it wa Gist Blair who collected the valuable paper or family hi tory and restored Blair Hou e to its early splendor.

Th is book is admirably suited to the ro le the State Department has chosen for it - as a gift to be presented to heads of state and important visitors to the presidential guesthouse. On the other hand, it is no mere coffeetable book. It s wealth of detail about political and ocial Washington a it relate to thee two founding familie make it interesting reading for Americans too.

There are problem , of cour e. The hot klieg light tend to melt the minimovie stars. "They just about make it through one scene," explains Stephen Chiodo, director of animation.

with wire armature characters, won first prize in CINE's amateur division in 1976 and became the American award winning entry at the Cannes Film Festival that year. Stephen worked closely with Walt Kelly's widow, Selby, in the transformation of the comic strip characters into three-dimensional form.

"Animators are like actors," he muses. "You have to get the feel of your characters and what they do.

Above all, it takes practice. Eventually one builds up a whole repertoire of movements. There are a thousand individual scenes. And all of them need to be precise to make an impact and to be funny.''

It takes a trained eye to conceptualize and to create the smooth refined movements characteristic of full-animation in the round. That some of this precisio n work becomes routine at times is readily admitted by this creative crew.

Yet all agree that the occasional bouts with boredom are forgotten the minute they see the rushes. "It's exhilarating to see your characters come alive. You laugh. Part of the excitement is that you see the results of your efforts almost immediately,'' Stephen observes.

The rushes with their colorful fantasyland settings and whimsical touches are breathtakingly beautifuL They remind you of viewmaster pictures at their best. The thrill of seeing their figures walk, jump, strut and talk with the voices of Jonathan Winters, who does the fat power-hungry Mole, and of Ruth Buzzi, who lend s her metallic voice to the frenchified skunk Mam'zelle Hepzibah, or the famed snarls of Vincent Price, who delivers the evil Deacon's lines, carries their creators through the trials and tribulations of the difficult art of animation.

The other thrill is the involvement in a pioneering project, the first feature film of its kind, a folksy, somewhat political satire that is likely to be seen in every major movie hou se.

When Mark Chinoy embarked on this singular, 90-minute movie production he had the enthusiastic support of his energetic partner Kerry Stowell, president of the animation film firm that combines their names.

"I read about Mark's new mode of animation experiments and decided to get in touch with him." Mrs. Stowell, a New Yorker who loves Washington and lives here, was publishing educational children's books at the time. "I wanted to try my hand at video and in movie

production," he recall . She did.

Stowmar was founded and a number of Flexiform short were produced. A 9 路minute pilot for the National Wildlife Federation entitled "Ranger Rick," a well a indu trial film , commercial for ACCO and Shell Oil, and pecial animation for Paramount's production of "Star Trek," provided a promi ing start.

"Our problem was to find the right property," Stowell remember . "One night during dinner Pogo came up in our conversation. The next evening we had dinner with Walt Kelly's widow.

That was two years ago."

What was so special about Pogo?

"Two thing , " Mark Chinoy shoots back. "Kelly's line drawings suit our system."

"And the quality of the project.

Pogo has something to say," continues Stowell: "It's decent entertainment and great fun. Pogo i American folklore.

There is a kindheartednes and humanity. It's Americana, pure Doonesbury with a positive outlook, and very political."

Talking to the movie' producer and its director i like talking to identical twins. In their enthusiasm they are of one mind and not ju t about Pogo.

Chinoy wrote the script and directed the film story which i a composite of various segments of Kelly's strip .

"It doe link up nicely with this pre idential year," Chinoy remarks with a broad smile. It took him six months to complete the cript. "I tried to remain a true to the original as such a transition permits. While the ba ic structure is not changed, certain characters became stronger a we went along," he add .

Production costs are under $2 million. United Arti t is in charge of merchandizing. "Anything Snoopy has, Pogo will get," Stowell mile . Thi means T -shirt , coa ter , toy , the whole work and, naturally, a Viewrna ter serie .

If all goes well, grand opening in Wa hington, Los Angeles and New York are cheduled for Augu t or September. Judging by the completed egments seen during CBS' "Fabulou Funnies," Pogo ha all the earmark of uccess. It' whim ical, down to earth with a touch of sophi tication, and tru ly three-dimen ional.

S.RODIN

I am somewhat taken back by the article on Ocean City, Maryland, in the April issue of Washington Dossier. pat McNees evidently has not spent enough time here to voice her opinion that it is "basically a honky tonk town".

By definition, from Webster's NeW Collegiate Dictionary, "hanky tonk" is defined cheap and/or sleazy. I would hate to think that the 3 million people who visit our city each year are con· sidered to be cheap and sleazy. Many of those people are your readers.

One only has to spend a few days here to realize its beauty and unique· ness. It offers over ten miles of beautiful beach and bathing, and three miles of boardwalk for the whole family to enjoy. It has an abundance of fine hotels, motels and restaurants, plus top entertainment and dancing in our many night spots.

Ben Higgs, Director Public Relations Department Ocean City, Maryland

Your April issue article on hom.e prices spurred me to further detail advertising verbiage in the real estate area.

• cute doll house - exactly that, tinY rooms at huge prices, .

• Capitol Hill extended - the house IS closer to Annapolis, • Dupont Circle East - really Shaw, • creative financing - you leave two of the kids as collateral, • country style kitchen- ah, the charfll of the old coal stove, • lots of character - the plumbinS doesn't work, the plasters falling in, but the woodwork's original, • unrestored but with considerable charm - nothing has been done to the house since 1920, • time to select colors - everythinS needs painting, • assumable - the newest "in" word which means you assume a 7o/o 1st trus~ for $5,000 and the seller holds the zn for 95,000 at 19%, • and finally lots of ambience - there'S no grass and no parking, but what the hell the prices aren't getting any lower· Craig Wilson 1746 Euclid Washington, D.C. Correction: John Rusnak is the ownef of Capitol Hill Wine and Cheese, no1 Jeffrey Cohen as erroneously reported in a recent issue.
