June 1979 Washington Dossier by David Adler

YOL.I 110.1 .IUIII 30, 1979 COYIIIJ Business, politics and philanthropy-singly or in any combination-are the main motives for socializing in our town. They are also the main interests of Steve Martindale, who recently helped Kay Shouse with another successful benefit for Wolf Trap Farm Park for the Performing Arts. Steve also enlisted Nancy Dickerson as emcee for last month's benefit for the Stehlin Foundation for Cancer Research. Kay and Nancy say Steve deserves a lot of credit for his charitable bent. He stands out, says Nancy, because "we're accustomed to women who do full-time charitable work, but we're not used to a bachelor lawyer who does these things." For more on Steve, see page 23.

The toothpaste tube and the squeezing of same have become a symbol of connubial stress. Inevitably, if he squeezes the end, she squeezes the middle. And wrule it is true that opposites attract, it is this very magnetism that strains the day to day intercourse between otherwise perfect partners. Although many a marriage has gone down the tubes as a result of said conundrum, many a well-known couple has turned the solution of this pasty problem into the very fixative of lasting romance.

"After thirty-nine years together, we joke about the little things that bothered us when we were young," says Mildred O'Neill, wife of the speaker of the House. Mrs. O'Neill, for instance, long ago learned to handle Tip's nightly snoring, which is at its loudest when he is most tired. "I feel like I've lived with it forever," she muses. "I found that if I say his name, he turns over and stops." Betty Bumpers has lived for thiity

years with Senator Dale's quixotic habit of taking off one of his socks inside out, a routine which has led his wife to untold hours of confusing and strenuous sock sorting. ''I'm convinced there is a limbo in which aU of Dale's unmatched socks are gathering," says Betty, whose own penchant for mispronouncing or forgetting names at political events is a family joke. As you sow, so shall you reap, it is said. But Shirley Wilson, wife of California Rep. Bob Wilson, has yet to do so when it comes to the vegetables her husband painstakingly plants each spring. "Just as the first tomatoes are forming, we're off to California, leaving our garden's bounty to friends and neighbors," sighs Shirley as she packs for the annual trek home. "Fried green tomatoes have become our traditional going away dish," she adds. "My husband won't eat dessert with me," complains Irene Pollln of husband Abe, owner of Capital Centre. "He just doesn't have a sweet tooth," she adds, still incredulous after all these years. This unusual self-discipline

does not extend to his night table or closet, however, which are usually piled high to overflowing with books, papers and notes. "Fortunately, I've gotten sloppier over the years and he's getting neater, so it works out." An unusual twist that might cause trouble in some relationships has been turned to advantage by Giant Food's patriarch Joe Danzansky, who discovered some years ago that the very sound of his wife's voice puts him to sleep. Now, when tired after a long day, he expressly requests that she talk to him so that he can be gently lulled into dreamland. 'Tve told her many times that it's not that she's boring, but that her voice is my security blanket," insists this fortunate husband of a tolerant mate. " We' re still newlyweds, " says Catharina Biddle of her five-year mar路 riage to Livingston. "But my being an artist and by nature impractical has definitely led to problems." When tax time came around the first year and Mr. Biddle suggested that his wife bring him the year's bank statements, she was dumbfounded. "Were we supposed to keep them?" she inquired innocently. Writer Kandy Stroud neatly solved the problem she and husband Frank had over who gets to read the morning paper first by ordering two subscriptions. Each now dives for his own, eliminating conflict and disproving that old saw that marriagE! is a school in which the s tudent learns too late. Dr. Stroud may soon initiate a similar solution to stop his wife from sneaking his razor to shave her legs. "I've shown her articles about how this bugs husbands, I've threatened, cajoled, all to no avail," laments this popular pediatrician.

Effi Barry discovered that her husband Mayor Marion Barry's hundreds of scraps of paper, matchbook covers, napkins and cards co ntaining telephone numbers and names were mounding in ever-growing piles across the bedroom. A simple and effective solution: a specially designed basket to catch and contain the goods, which "worked beautifully," testifies Effi. Ditto for Helen Bums, whose husband Arthur, former chief of the Federal Reserve, used to insist on smoking in bed at night. Mrs. Burns procures mints from Howard Johnson's as a permanent substitute for night cigarettes, keeping her husband's bed table well supplied. She even packs them in his suitcase for trips. "He

reaches for a mint, not a smoke," says his wife, satisfied. A similar problem in need of a different solu t ion confronts Susan Brinkley, wife of David. "lf only my husband would stop smoking, at least in the bedroom," she sighs. "But he just can't sit down to a typewriter or a book without a cigarette in his mouth. A recent subtle hint to eliminate said habit from the bedroom took the form of repainting the room and sending "every blessed thing out to the cleaners," says Susan. "I keep trying." When Esther Coopersmith, the Perle Mesta of Potomac, discovered early in her marriage to Jack that he loved to shop for groceries ("' noticed we had two of everything in the refrigerator from his shopping and mine") she relinquished this task to her spouse, who has done it ever since. Thus no conflict in the Coopersmith home, where there might have been in others. For the dozen years Walter Washington was mayor of the District, his wife had to cope with the frustration of being scheduled by schedulers, "who felt they needed to make up our schedules but didn't need to teJI us about it." Finally, Dr. Bennetta W<tshington says, ''We're starting to live like normal people again and it is delightful." Patrick Hayes, Washington impresario, admits that in almost forty years of an otherwise blissful marriage, there has been the recurring nuisance of finding his half-filled coffee cups all over the house. His wife has put them in the clothes hamper, the filing cabinet, the closets, but never in the kitchen. Hayes recalls that the late Sen. Robert Taft was forever in trouble with his wife because grocery lists, carefully placed in his pockets, tended to stay there, since the senator consistently forgot to stop at the store on the way home from work. Claire and Joe Dratch's professional and personal relationship of thirtyseven years has thrived in spite of differences in taste (his office at their clothing store is contemporary and cluttered; hers is Victorian and prim). Joe also has closed his eyes to her habit of wearing his terry cloth robe, rather than one from her extensive closet of clothes. All that has been said simply seems to prove, as WiJliam Blake the poet knew over 150 years ago: "Love to faults is always blind, always is to joy inclin'd." ODD DOSSIER/JUNE 1979/13

Tradition enriches our lives, gives us continuity. Perhaps that is why in a fragmented, fast-paced society such as ours, we hold fast to the ritual of marriage. No other tradition spawns so many symbols-of union, prosperity, fertility, family and happiness. And no other day celebrates this continuity more than the florid, silver, white and scented day of days, the wedding day.

In the 1960s, weddings were wedins. Couples spoke vows on a mountain top at midnight, tied the knot on a beach at dawn. The free-wheeling '60s gave way to the free-falling '70s, when sky-diving couples pulled the nuptial rip cord to float gently down to earthly life. The inevitable end to these nonsensical nuptials is the return of the trarutional wedding. Some of Washington's most well-known recent singles. Page lee Hufty, Teddy Proxmire and Susan Goldwater to name a few, were wed in the old-fashioned way. But why have couples come full circle? Why, in the face of the staggering divorce rate, do men and women continue to enter the institution of marriage? The deliriously happy Page Lee Hufty, who donned a Victorian lace gown to wed Baltimore's Benjamin Griswald, gave her reasons: "Marriage is a very old tradition. Perhaps the reason for the soaring divorce statistics is because people don't take marriage seriously. 1 do and so does he. "Also, traditional weddings make people stop and think about what an important step they're taking. It's a very exciting step if you stop and think what it really means." A wedding can be the symbol of a consolidation of love, power, families, wealth, business and prestige. When Monica Consorti married Count Riccardo Agosta at Georgetown University's Dahlgren Chapel in April. many journalists reported the wedding on the business and finance pages. The wedding merged two of Italy's most prosperous companies, but the couple apparently had their own reasons for the pomp and ceremony. "Meeting each other was so meaningful," explains Roberto, hairdresser to the happy couple and the contessa-studdcd wedding party. "They live in a world of scandal, where there are no values. Their wedding was an intellectual symbol of tradition and purity ." The symbols of the traditional wedding are etched in stone. Those who would tamper with them incur the wrath of etiquette book authors and bridal consultants, a fiery breed when attacked. Here are the elements not to be messed with:

saJons will refer to colors such as ivory, ecru, eggshell and antique white. Pam McNamara, bridaJ buyer at Claire Dratch, detects a designer, sophisticated trend in bridaJ gowns for the older, career woman. "We're also seeing a lot of 'encore' weddings-women who still want to get married in a wedding dress, but not a traditional wedding dress. Ivory is appropriate for these situations." Although textile innovations have produced a plethora of Qiana or polyester-blended wedding gowns that stay wrinkle-free, most brides worth their weight in Lenox wear silk or satin in winter and cotton or linen in summer. THI ••IDIOROOMa The wellgroomed bridegroom is the touchstone of tradition. His garb and the garb of his coterie remain unchanged. For daytime weddings, he wears a grey or black stroller, striped trousers, grey single or double-breasted waistcoat with white soft-collared shirt and grey and white striped tie. For an informal evening wedding, it's a black dinner jacket (tuxedo), matching trousers with satin side stripe, black vest or cummerbund, white shirt and black bow tie. A formaJ daytime wedding demands an oxford grey or black cutaway coat with striped trousers, grey waistcoat, wing-collared white shirt and striped ascot. At formal evening weddings after six, a bridegroom wears black full dress tailcoat with satin side-striped black trousers, white waistcoat, wingcollared shirt and white bow tie. THI RINO•a A ring symbolizes union. Jeweler Edward Ayre Jr. says women are still dazzled by diamond engagement rings in solitaire or in three-stone settings. In the last five years, however, future fiancees have been star-struck by colored stones with their diamonds. Ayre recommends that couples who want to begin their marriage on the right foot shop together for that major investment, the engagement ring. As for wedding bands, he adds, the plain gold style has never knuckled under to any trendy competitor. THI WIDDINO PAJITYa No selfrespecting bride would march down the aisle without sending ahead of her a flotilla of bridesmaids, clad in colors such as pumpkin orange o r holly berry red. For every bridesmaid, there is an

usher, who should be, but is not always, a few inches taller. The maid/matron of honor and the best man, traditional tokens, have succumbed to the revolution in sex-role stereotyping. Sarah Shaines, manager of men's formal wear at Woodward & Lothrop, recently outfitted a male "maid" of honor. The bride's left-hand man wore the same style suit as the groom but a shirt of a subtly different color. Optional members of wedding parties are the ring bearer and flower girl, two positions that seem to go in and out of popularity, depending on society's current attitude toward children. MU.ICa Nothing can be more discordant on a wedding day than nontraditional music. Gene Donati, king player in 800 wedding receptions a year, recaUs one musical mishap: "The mother of the bride wanted each bridesmaid's walk down the aisle to be accompanied by the pop tune which just unfor tunately matched each of their names. You know, 'She rry,' 'Candy, · etc. The Processional from the Royal Fireworks music by Handel is popular in many churches. Since weddings are the only time instruments are used in conservative temples, Cantor Robert Toren of Adas Israel often recommends Four Wedding Marches by Ernest Bloch or some of lsador Freed's processionaJ music. Trumpets also travel with tradition. Wayne Dirksen of the Washington Cathedral reports that bridal couples often choose Trumpet Tune and Air or Trumpet Voluntary by Jeremiah Clark.

PLORA AND fAUNA. Most weddings are awash with white flowers, but the colors mauve and purple (embodied in violets and orchids) are flourishing, reports florist Angelo Bonita. Traditional hand-held bridal bouquets replace gimmicks such as sprays or a single white lily. The groom's boutonniere should be a flower from the bridal bouquet and the ushers' flower, Bonita insists, should not be the same as the bridegroom's. Fathers' lapels should be pinned with a white rose and mothers' corsage should co-ordinate with other arrangements in the wedding scheme. Due to the high-rising costs of flowers, brides are selecting elegant but simple floral arrangements, Bonita reports .

THI RICIPTION& Traditional weddings pay off traditional guests (who give traditional gifts) with a traditionaJ reception. Every reception also needs a band leader, that musical tyrant who directs not only his musicians but often an entire mob of dancing and disparate guests. Only he can say with assertiveness, "The bride will now dance with her father," and have the crowds part, the dance floor clear. His litany continues throughout the reception and he must always smile as he takes a request for Tie a Yellow Ribbon. Of equal clout is the caterer or the food and beverage director of the hotel or club. This often dogmatic character peels the bride and bridegroom away from the friends and festivity, puts a knife in their joined hands and instructs them in the ancient art of cake cutting. The director is also responsible for ordering that egg roll chafing dishes be refilled and that shrimp cocktail platters be replenished. Other reception rituals include the bouquet toss and the garter hurl, both attempts to single out the still-single and herd them into wedded bliss. After the reception, the happy couple must disappear, to be alone at last and to change into their "going-away" outfits. Upon their reappearance, they are deemed ready for the real world. After their often tearful departure, the cake is dismantled, the centerpteces are assigned to one person and carted off by another and the wedding day officially ends. Why young healthy couples endure the rigors of a wedding day is a mystery to many. But some who've wed once would gladly repeat the event, updating and improving the scenario, correcting mistakes made the first time. Why weddings? Why marriage? The ceremonies continue, the churches and synagogues are booked solid for Saturdays and Sundays. But some holdouts are firm. "Marriage is a great institution," said the often-unwed Mae West. " I'm just not ready for an institution." ODD

STEVE MARTINDALE'S CAN-DO CANCAN By RITA KEMPLEY Steve Martindale can do. He can get you a publisher. He can push your fudge. He can get Liz or Henry to back your cause. Like an overstuffed computer, he can call up a name, one to fit any occasion, and spit it out just in time to impress the impressionable. He is the cancan king, the showman who trips lightly over the local social stage, highkicking and name-dropping his way from glittery cause to glittery cause. But who is Steve Martindale a nyway? And how come he can cancan? More than one person has asked those questions. But only one person has tried to answer them intelligently. There are few people watchers who can't recall Sally Quinn's chronicle of this man as a symbol of the inveterate Washington social climber. What is most memorable is that it was not so much a story about Steve, but a story about Sally, about society and about how to make it in our town . As Martindale puts it, "I was the whHe whale in SaJly's theory of life." With this in mind, then, the question "Who is Steve Martindale?" can be answered "a product of the press." That is not to say he is not a product of Pocatello and his parents, the Addington Martindales of Idaho. At thirty-five, Steve is stiJl a. nice, small-

town American boy. He is ingenuous and fresh-faced and probably will be so forever. But above alJ else, he is impalpable. " I know I'm a bad interview," he says to explain the lack of chemistry, the failed communication. "I've become cautious," he adds, explaining how he and client Margaret Trudeau were screwed by NBC's Jane Pauley. "They looked us right in the eyes and swore Lhey wouldn' t ask about the Ted Kennedy affair and then they did it. I told Margaret I couldn't believe it and she said, 'Oh, Steve, you're so naive; you still trust people."' "I tell him that all the time," admits Trudeau. "But I think it's one of his best qualities. I'd never be able to work with a jaded hard-edged man." Despite naivete and what people might say, usually without attribution, Steve Martindale is a survivor. Administrations may come and go, but Steve is here to stay. Like a good politician, he is simultaneously a Republican and a Democrat. (He didn't campaign for Carter, but "I voted for him," he says under his breath to give the statement credibility.) His all-encompassing soul and flexibility let him fill aU needs, make the perfect host.

A litany of dropped names begins a

luncheon interview at Sans Souci. "Gee, I hope it doesn' t rain tomorrow, " he says. With most people, this is a way of starting a conversation with an unknown person. Not so with Martindale. ''Marvella's (Bayh) funeral is tomorrow," he continues. "It would be so depressing if it rained. l called up as soon as I hea rd and asked if there was anything I could do .. . " He shakes his head. "It was so hopeless, but Marvella led us all to believe it wasn't. Why just three weeks ago she wrote me a note saying she had to go to N.LH ___ .'lt's usual,' she said, but it wasn't. "Apparently Buffy Cafritz took me at my word. She said, 'Could we use your car and driver to pick up the food at Ridgewell's (for a luncheon after the funeral)? ', and I said, 'Buffy, you know I don't have a car and driver... "' Where did Buffy ever get that idea 7 Perhaps she saw him leave the Hair opening in a limo with two blondes But that's not the point. ln th1 language of names, which Steve uses tc describe an event, a place or a thing, he is saying, "I am important because my friends are." By stepping across this language barrier and using names to describe Steve, his character evolves. Karen Hunziker, class of '57, the

Last year Steve Martindale served as ticket chairman for the Wolf Trap Farm Park gala. He threw a party for Liz Werner, the chairman, and Key Shouse, the founder. From left, at his Georgetown home are Robert Simon, Shouse, Warner, Martindale and Mra. Cherlee Panon. Steve also served as this year's ticket chairman. lady who answers the phone at Pocatello High and a friend of Steve's brother, said of Steve: "He's a regular guy, but how come he struck it rich and we didn't7" Sherri Geyelin, who co-chaired a Groome Center benefit with Steve last year and felt she did most of the work and he got most of the credit, offers this answer: "Steve is a neighbor. He wants to make a serious place for himself in the community by piggybacking on variou.s benefits." Whether he does it for himself or for charity makes little difference. In the end, Arena's Living Stage, Save the Children, the New York Studio School for Art, the Walter Hodges' memorial, Wolf Trap Farm Park and others have benefited from his efforts. "I try to give more than I take. The press makes me look like some sort of self-seeking turkey, but I want to be successful. I want to make a contribution to charity. Now people take my phone calls seriously and if I'm articulate enough, 1 can persuade David Kreeger to play on stage for the first time (at the Arena Stage benefit.)" Steve is a strong supporter of Wolf Trap Farm Park, says Kay Shouse, confirming his sincerity. He has been an "active" ticket chairman for the gala this year and last, helping the performing arts center earn upwards of $190,000 on each occasion. "He does not serve in name only," she says, adding that his committee, double the size this year, sold many tickets even before the names of the performers were known, much less announced. Connections never hurt.

ODD Sometimes what one must endure to maintain connections is too much. Certainly Virginia Graham would be too much for many of us to bear, but Steve had a party for her anyway. "Virginia Graham7 Oh, 1 had that party as a favor for a friend. I wasn't even home when it was planned. It was Virginia's list, so I didn' t know most of the people. Virginia is funny and zany, but I'll never do it again. It was a zoo. Betty Beale wanted to come with a camera crew ... It was a mess, but sometimes you get caught." It seems strange that one would have a party for someone he didn' t know, but it is also strange that in the past, some of Steve's guests have denied knowing him or attending his parties. When Sally Quinn questioned Alice Roosevelt Longworth, a guest at one of his soirees, about Steve, the grand old dame replied: "Who7 I don' t know who he is; I can't remember ever going to his house, but perhaps I did. I haven't the least recognition. I wouldn't want to hurt his feelings. I don't want to be rude, but I just don' t know who he is. He probably thinks he's very recognizable." Today, thanks to Sally, Alice, Betty, Sherri, Yoko and John, he is recognizable, yea, even acceptable.

DOD In a town bloated with Ivy Leaguers, how does one parlay a law degree from American University into a position with a good firm7 It never hurts to know socialite Nina Black, who helped Steve gain a partnership with Trammell, Rand, Nathan and Lincoln.

THE ULTIMATE

TRUTH

MACHINE It gives you a straight answer even if someone else doesn't! Use it anytime, anywhere. The Truth Machine ic a new generation voice nreu analyzer that

!lawlessly pinpo•nts deception. It is so small, lightweight and portable that it easily fits into a desk drawer or briefcase. You can use it with total discretion, because unlike the oldfashioned polygraph It doesn 'tneed wires connectmg it to the body ... so there is no way anyone can know they are bemg monitored. TODAY YOU NEED A TRUTH MACHINE You succeed by knowing the answers. By making the right decisions. To make the right decision you need the fects •.. you must know the whole truth. But unfonunately, almost everyone yoo deal with has a mouve to practjce at least some deception. Unleu you're a mmd reader yoo never know whether or not you're getting a stra1ght answer when you ask; • Is this your lowest price ... your best offer? • Have you mailed that check to me yet? • Can you deliver my order on ume? • Have you told me everything I need to know? • Can I depend on you? • Are these figures correct? • Are you confident about this investment? • Will they settle out of court? When you ask a direct question you deserve a straight enswer. And that's the beauty of the Truth Machine; It will give you a straight an· swer... even if someone else doesn't. It's your best possible defense against doubt, risk and deception I YES, IT'S ETHI CAL I It's s1mply a fast, eHic1ent way to verify the truth and protect yourself against dishonesty. And after all, which is immoral · for a person to be deceitful or to have their diShonesty uncovered? There is nothing unethical about uncovenng deceit and deception. In fact, you can usually prevent dishonesty, simply by letting everyone know that you own the Truth Machme. It 's a powerful deterrent for anyone who is tempted to m1slead you or tell you less than the truth I IT'S AMAZING LY S IMPLEI Uke many technological d1scovenes, vo•ce stress analyzers grew out of military research dunng the V1etnam war. Army mtelligence needed something better than the standard polygraph to interrogate prisoners. A simple method that could be used without the subject's knowledge. The vo1ce stress analyzer was the result! The princ1ple is remarkably simple. Sclentisu already knew lying produced unconscious and uncontrollable stress that could be recorded by a polygraph. Researchers soon discovered that this stress also affected the muscles con· trolling the vocal cords, and caused an inaud-

lble "microtremor" in the voice. All that was noeded w>K a device cen&itlve enough to pick up and record these inaudible vibrations. And that was a relatively easy accomplishment considering the state of modern electronic tech· nology. BUSINESSMEN BECOME MIN D REA DERS In addition to police and intelligence agen· cies. many of the "Fonune 500" corporations have quietly been using voice stress analyzers for several yean. Large industrial and retail companies use it to control employee theft and screen job applicants. And dozens of large insurance companies have been using voice stress analyzers to uncover false cla1ms. They simply tape an interview with anyone filing • susp1cious claim, then playback the recording and monitor it with a vo1ce stress analyzer. In the past only the largest, most profitable companies felt they could justify spendmg $1500 to $5000 to purchase a voice stress analyzer. However, like everything else in the electronics field, these high prices reflect the heritage of a prototype, and not the quality of a reliable voice stress analyzer. The new cost-saving, solid state, mlcro-<:hip technology has made voice stress analyzers affordable. Today, for only $1 49.00 you can have a compact unit that Is far more sensitive than the top-secret units originally used by the military I There is no better way to get at the truth... and remove the risk and uncertainty from those important decisions that face you every dayl AND IT'S ENTERTAINING! Because it can pick up and analyze any aud· ible statement, use of the Truth Machme is limited only by your imagination. Seeing the meter go wild when politicians and celebrities give their ·candid' views dunng telev1s10n press conferences and talk shows can provide you with hours of amusement. And wh•le no evidence uncovered by any type of lie detector can be used in coun. you can gain personal s~ltlsfection by finding the truth behind many mtnguing and controversial subjecu. Use the Truth Machine to evaluate the candor of Richard Nixon, Patty Hearst or James Earl Ray. You may be surprised I EASY TO OPE RATEl Unlike the polygraph, there are no sophist!· cated operating techniques to learn. You can easily master the Truth Machine after only one weekend of practice. You simply turn it on and adjust the sensitivity calibrator knob for average stress in the speaker's voice. Then sit back and watch the meter. When the needle moves into the stress area. you know you're hearing less than the truth. And it's versatile. You can pick up the spet~ker's voice with the Truth Machine's sensitive, built·in microphone. Or use the special sensor tha t connects it to

your telephone. You can even tape a conversation with any ctandard tape recorder.. and an. elyze it at your convenience by attaching the special output jack and playing back the tape!

The former assistant to Sen. Charles Goodell and ex-vice president of a public relations firm is now the attorney about town. Clients include Perrier Water, AIJjson LaLand, Emily Ma lino, Margaret Trudeau, Liz Carpenter, the Beach Boys' record company and recent Martindale convert Dan Moldea. ''If it weren't for Steve, four years of my life would have been dow11 the drain," says Moldea sincerely. "He saved my book." When the author of Hoffa Wars first met Martindale, he virtually could not get his book published. Michael Allen, another member of the Jaw firm, introduced Moldea to Martindale and, within a very shor t time, Paddington Press (also the publisher of Margaret Trudeau's Beyond Reason) offered a contract. "I went to New York and the deaJ was signed, sealed a nd delivered in ten minutes. That Steve's an amazing guy." Moldea did not always think so. "Before I met him, all I knew was what I read in the paper. I looked at him as being a socialite not a lawyer. Now I know he has this tremendous ability to puJl the two together in a completely competent and professional manner." And that's not all Washington's social whiz kid can pull together. Moldea, who faced danger and intrigue that may soon spill over into the Kennedy asassination case, praises the host with the most for his "working class" elan. At his book party, says Moldea, Teamsters mixed well and readily with the mayor, Margaux Hemingway, Playboy execs (who bought syndication rights), peanut butter and jelly and Ritz crackers and a reporter from the Washington Post. Thanks, Steve. A far cry from the truck-driving Moldea is that fragile blossom and veteran party planner Allison LaLand, who seems sure the common touch will transform her upcoming book into gold too. One night at where else, but a party, Steve told Allison she ought to write a book. " 'Get me a publisher,' I said . And the next day I had one." Again, it was Paddington Press, an operation located in a townhouse~ which Margaret Trudeau described as "like a family, not a factory. "

Steve Martindale Is one of three Washing路 tonians who are members of the board of Save the Children. Here, he attends a re路 cent benefit for the group with Oatsle Charles (left), MarJorie Benton, board

who serves as some sort of synapse between those who' ll tell and those who'll sell. His parties "bridge the gap" between those who have never met, have wanted to meet or have never wanted to see each other again. Sometimes, it's Steve himself who nobody wanted to meet. "I've had dinner partners who've spent a half an hour telling me what a fool 1 am, but I

also have loyal friends. I'd even have a party for Suzie Glutz; it's just nobody writes about that. Besides, giving parties and going out beats watching TV." Though he wants to be seen as a serious person, he has no intention of changing his life style. Now and then he daydreams about living in one room in New York and becoming a musical performer. "I was accepted to Julliard, you know." At one point, he was also thinking of becoming a minister, a profession he pursued briefly as a divinity student at Harvard . Giving up the church-he seldom goes- does not mean he has given up his "very traditional values, which are sorted out from moralisms," but rather

that he has turned to new primary interests-business, poUtics and philanthropy- not necessariJy in that order.

ODD It was a lovely day at Wolf Trap plantation and we sat around the patio sniffing the lilacs and sipping minty drinks called Beverly Sills . Kay Shouse, somewhat distracted by the squirrel in the bird feeder, asked Steve if he was working on other beneHts besides her Wolf Trap gala. Steve rattled off a long list of planned good Works, including the benefit for the Stehlin Foundation for cancer research in memory of Walter Hodges that Nancy Dickerson, author and journalist, emceed recently We talked about the tulips, Trudeau and Jane Pauley, Steve's picture in the Idaho Statesman and his mother's bridge club and took some pictures. Nancy and Kay Shouse posed in front of the tulips and behind Steve, then behind the lilacs and in front of Steve. "Look up at Steve," said the photographer. ''Adoringly?" asked Nancy. 'That's what we're here for " said Steve. '

Peter Menlo, gallery director, says the money will allow a free gate for Corcoran visitors. Behind the two men Is a painting by Frank Stella, whose works are being shown at the gallery via a grant from the Ford Motor Company Fund. A second exhibition, " Montlcelll, His Contemporaries, His Influence," also opened the night of the ball. It Is sponsored by the women's committee. (Above) The Corcoran Gallery of Art was as beautifully decorated as ever for the twenty-fourth annual ball sponsored by the women' s committee, which Is celebrating Its twenty路flfth anniversary this year. Accordlno to a committee spokeswoman, ball proceeds, which benefit the gallery, were about $80,000. (At right) Couples donned crazy pink caps, courtesy of band leader Lester Lanln, and danced with wild abandon In the atrium; other dancers slipped off to the disco upstairs.

(Above) The hard路worklng chairwoman of the 1979 Corcoran Ball was Maud Brown, who Invited Australian Ambasaador Alan Renouf and his wife to be her special guests that night. Maud felt It was appropriate because she was born In Australia. She also praised Woodward & Lothrop's Pierre LaUre, who decorated the gallery. (At left) The patrons of the Corcoran jammed the rooms. Among them were Oeeda and William Blair and Connie Mellon (right).

BAN UETS FOR

EVERY TASTE.

BEAUTY AND THE BALL Suitably, Maud Brown's striped gown seemed to have been inspired by the subtJy glowing Gene Davis painting which hangs in the A trium of the Corcoran Gallery, scene of this year's ball for arts patrons. Strings of glittering lights, strung overhead like streamers from a Maypole, shone down on ball chairman Brown and her guests, Australian Ambassador and M rs. Alan Ren ouf, at their round table laden with spring flowers and a first course of ruby red consomme. "Le consomme madrilene en gelee garni de caviar et creme sure les pailles au fromage," as catering king jeff Ellis dubbed it, did not quickly draw guests such as Allison l aland and the D av id Lloyd Kreegers to their respective tables. The sounds of Lester Lanin's orchestra seemed to compel the crowd toward the dance floor, where many wore inverted pink sailor hats, a Lanin trademark, in tribute to the band. While many guests munched at the duck and croissants, some couples danced up and down the marble stairs a Ia West Side Story or Dames at Sea. The disco drew Anna Chennault, who boogied with abandon beneath the plastic-covered tapestries and multi-toned balloons. The Frank Stella show of relief paintings, characterized "by an almost vertiginous sense of riskiness, audacity and eccentricity," according to assoctate dtrector Jane livingston, would have seemed a better setting for disco dancers. The Stella exhibition, sponsored by Ford Motor Co. which was represented that night by Wayne Smitty, was shown with a second exhibition-"Monticelli , H is Contemporaries, His influence." The ball, which Mrs. Brown expected to earn about $80,000-that's $20,000 more than last year-celebrated the women's committee's twenty-fifth anniversary. There was further cause to celebrate that evening. Earlier in the week, Or. Armand Hammer announced his million-dollar-plus grant to the gallery, which will allow visits without admission.

It took her six years to complete the project.

BOSS TWIID A fashion show at the Middleburg Spring Hunt? Yes, indeed! One can aJways count on seeing the best displays of fashion and good taste at the Middleburg races. In this case, the spectators were the models, the turf was the runway and the brush and timber jumps made ingenious props. "It appears as if everyone stepped out of a page of Town and Courttry," remarked one woman. "The clothes have been around for a long time, but they still look good," she added. It could have been England's hunt country, where fashions never fade. The men were nattily attired in Harris tweed jackets with chamois elbow patches, tweed driving caps, jodhpurs, boots, tattersall shirts, collar pins and suede vests. The women sported leather and suede skirts or tailored pantsuits, Hermes scarves, straw hats, gold earrings and other gold jewelry. Accessories were very important. Former Massachusetts governor Endicott "Chubb" Peabody wore a bow tie and a needlepoint vest that took his wife six years to sew. Both Italian Ambassador Paolo Pansa and lillian Giberga carried collapsible shooting sticks. Peter Wilson of Middleburg carried a carved walking stick, which he said "is good for people who like to drink." Newton Steers' new wife Gabriele wore a pair of miniature Zeiss binoculars around her neck. "These once saved my life while I was mountain climbing. But now I use them for the opera and races alike," she said. During the races, spectators enjoyed tailgate picnics of luscious finger foods and assorted beverages. Middleburg's fine hostess Rose Marie Bogley provided the most elaborate feast-which took her one week to prepare. With the help of h,er sister Ruth Majcher, a bartender and one other helper, they made 203 pieces of barbecued chicken, country ham, potato salad, deviled eggs, baked beans and brownies. Among her 150 guests were jack and Candy Somerville, Sen. and Mrs. lloyd Bentsen, the Wynant Vanderpools, Marvin and Anne Braverman and Peter Dunston and his wife. Also there were Susan Goldwater, who was telling friends about her plans to wed Marvin Warner, current American ambassador to Switzerland. The wife of former Iranian ambassador to Argentina, Djamchid TavaUali, said sh'. is now "just living for the ·.noment."

Participants were the 750 handicapped children who came to town for a four-day celebration of their creativity, skills and abilities. On the first day of their stay, they were welcomed at a gala opening at the O.A.S. Building.

Weekend hacks, players, friends and members of the Kennedy faml路 ly swapped tennis tales and broke training. Many members of the doubles teams met their better-or other-halves at the party. Mark Cornell, Investment broker with Paine Webber, sought out his partner Rep. Jim Blanchard for moral support. " My strong points," he said, ''are that I double-fault three times, better make that five times, In one set." Rep. Marty Russo and partner Bowie Kuhn claimed that, although they were not the strongest, they were the tallest of the teams. 34/JUNE 1979/DOSSIER

(Above) The annual ball to benefit the American Cancer aoclety had Richard Crenna (right) as Its special guest. Making him feel at home In Washington are na· llonal president Dr. LaSalle D.

Looking over t he merchan· dise are Malvi n Eatrfn, a co-chairman; Pennie Abramson, a chairman, and the Richard Crennaa (left). Lingering over t he display {at left) for the " Pampered Ones," were the John Pagenatechera. Gall Siegel was t he win· nlng bidder for this one.

(Above) Saul and Kay Perlmutter danced to the sounds of the Peter Duchln band. (At left) ldele Golda· teln (right) chatted with Suellen Eatrln, one of the co-chairmen of the Cancer Ball.

AN ICY WONDIRLAND Griffins of ice, held aloft by froz.en, sculpted eagles, towered above the ballroom filled with ladies alight with diamonds and gentlemen in starched white shirts with black ties. "It's Good-Bye Columbus," gasped one of the thousand or more gues ts, when confronted with the tables laden to the groaning point with succulent spareribs, roast beef, erudite, fresh, exotic fruits, lobsters and drawn butter, freshly shucked oysters and more. The dance floor was as beckoning as the bounty. Peter Duchin saw to it that there were sounds to please every musical palate. SauJ and Kay Perlmutter were among the first to trip the light fantas tic. The graceful couple has never had dance lessons, "except the merengue" when she was very, very pregnan t. For those who were not dancers or those who simply wished to take a chance, there was a silent auction of articles dona ted by Lord & Taylor. The nine displays that were up for bids included pleasures fo r the executive, the sportsman, the gourmet cook, the traveler, the child and the lover of ultimate luxuries. Those who lost to higher bidders here still had a chance to win one of the door prizes - the use of a Mercedes for one year, a trip for two to Guadeloupe or a five-piece china service for twelve. Among the very important people who helped put on this opulent affair was Judy Ru benstein. Judy, a member of the executive committee, was presented wilh a special award for her devotion and hard work for the American Cancer Society, which benefited that night. Chairmen Pennie and Gary Abramson expected to make about $150,000 for the charity with proceeds from the silent auction and the ball tickets. The A bramsons were joined in the receiving line by Melvyn and Sue!Jen Estrin, co-chairmen; Richard Crenna and his wife, the special guests; Delores Handy, Channel Five anchorwoman; and T om Harper. Also attending were Bob and Gail Siegel, she in a Halston without buttons or zippers; the Na t He.rsons; Jessica Savage; Herbie and Gloria Haft, the latter in a smashing Yves St. Laurent; and Alan and Diane Kay, she in a strapless black gown. It was a beautiful ball, laced with lovely fashions, vibrant spirits and good will. - RITA KEMPLEY

PETRIFIED FOREST Zbigniew Brzezinski smiled as if he hadn't a care in the world. U.S.S.R Ambassador Anatoliy Dobrynin tilted his head thoughtfully to study the glittering trunk of a tree molded in translucent polyester resin. Averell Harriman shook Sen. Charles Percy's hand, his eyes riveted on the intricate, abstract bark of another sculptured tree. It was the most enchanting petrified forest ever seen this side of Arizona. Its luminous power filled Ramon Osuna's Gallery with a certain magic. The glory of nature was ingeniously translated into a primeval celebration in terms of art. A tricky proposition. It could easily have become as deadly literal as a butterfly on the end of a pin. But Emilie "Mushka" Benes' rubber molds of tree trunks cast in lightreflecting resin have a presence of their own. The artist makes the most of the illusive spatial qualities of the medium and its intriguing ambiguity regarding 42/JUNE 1979/DOSSIER

the material versus the immaterial. It was Emilie Benes' (otherwise known as the wife of Zbigniew Brzezinski) first Washington show. And while the gallery was hopping with security people, it was also crowded with political and artconnected heavyweights, neighbors, family and children. The number of Washington phonies who pass themseJves off as art lovers on these occasions was surprisingly small. Along with RosaJynn Carter, the ambassadors from the People's Republic of China, Japan and Morocco attended. So did the Livingston Biddies, Peter Marzio of the Corcoran, and Ann and Gil Kinney, who have owned one of their friend's tree sculptures for some time. It was not only an illustrious, but a solid crowd-solid people of solid achievements. Not surprisingly, five of Mushka Benes' sculptures-priced from $500 to $3,000-were sold on the -VIOLA DRATH spot.

TRUFFLES AND TRIFLES Entertaining newcomers? Try Top of the Town, 1200 North Nash Street, Arlington. Perched on top of Prospect House, it offers a breathtaking view of Washington. Any decor pales in comparison with such a sight. Enjoy the view with hefty drinks and terrific prime ribs. The menu features ItaHan specialties-lots of veal dishes-and fettucini instead of potato. But the veal dishes are somewhat pedestrian and the pasta isn't homemade. A favorite Italian offering is the creamy salad dressing, garlicky and robust. The crabmeat cocktail is copious and fresh; the lamb chops and the roast beef portions are enormous-tender and cooked to order. With the attentive service and reasonable wine list, any evening could be pleasant here, but the view alone makes it spectacular! Ask for a window table.

CHAM81R MUSIC Doris Grumbach Doris Grumbach's new book Chamber Music seems to be a lesbian manifesto masquerading as a novel, or vice versa. lt wears its custumt: wdl, st:quins of literary allusion and classical musical references, some sharp imagery of language, stylistic cleverness and great helpings of lurid pseudo-Freudian excess. It seems a doughnut of a novel, with a spongy rim and an empty middle. The rim is held together by the familiar cliche of the failed marriage from the woman's point of view. Caroline Maclaren, now in her nineties, is telling the real truth about her life, the loveless marriage to the great musical genius Robert Maclaren in whose shadow she lives dutifully and obediently until he dies a horrible death of syphillis. Caroline falls passionately in love with Anna, Robert's

nurse, who, sometime later, inexplicably dies leaving Caroline alone. She lives the next forty-five years in a blank funk with only the memory of her brief fling to warm her cold heart. The politics are embedded. in the book and beautifully stated: "... how many truths of the secret lives of women are lost to history in the still social afternoon air that hovers between two women as they reveal the singleness of their sex, the behavior of their husbands as lords, as lovers. Quickly said, revealed in a breath, in low tones, even whispers, such special truths are quickly buried and forgotten. And yet they hold more valuable human reality for the searcher after truth than the dates of history and the narratives of the lives and death of kings." The problem is that the "searcher after truth" is totally waylaid from the beginning by the total lack of any real feeling in the characters, except during the lesbian interchanges. All other relationships seem almost aggressively and militantly morbid. The fathers of aU three main characters are disposed of before each reaches puberty, two by death and one by involuntary absence. Caroline's mother is left to die and be buried at the public expense in a pauper's cemetery, with hardly a ripple of remorse, by her child. Robert and his mother, before his marriage to Caroline, have engaged in an incestuous relationship, the mechanics of its fulfillment taking place in an oversized bed that serves as a kind of symbolic sexual arena throughout the book. Caroline sees Robert's mother masturbating in that bed, in what must have been intended as something terribly symbolic. Anna's mother brings her husband's body back to Germany for burial, leaving her and her sister (who later dies of diptheria) with friends, never to return. So much for mother love. The fathers never had a shot at it. Indeed, none of the men in this book is given half a chance. Robert has a homosexual relationship with a fellow musician, contracts syphillis, and both die in a veritable porridge of open sores, broken pustules and ulcerations. Indeed, Grumbach describes gleefully Robert's death in clinical horror with particular emphasis on cataloguing Anna's nursing ministrations to the poor man's genital sores. Eric, another male character who makes the terrible mistake of falling in love with

Carloline's female lover, bums himself to death. Even a dog, aptly named Paderewski, a male, of course, dies an abysmally humiliating death, a blatant foreshadowing of Robert's gruesome demise. Thrown in for good measure is a little morsel of lesbian necrophelia (Caroline gets into bed with the dead Anna, and touches ''every part of her body"). lf there is any comfort at all in 路 this mean little exercise of inadvertent black humor, it is that these three "characters" will be buried together, Caroline to join them shortly, on a grassy knoll, next to the dog Paderewski. It is only fair to state that this book has not been reviewed in a vacuum. 1t has been highly praised, even acc1aimed by a number of what are generally called "respected critics"- a tight little mutual back-slapping circ1e to which Grumbach belongs. This, then, represents a minority opinion. Worse yet, it represents one novelist's opinion of another novelist's work, a terrible and highly vulnerable burden to bear. Nevertheless, there is nothing more exciting, more mentally stimulating than the dash of one person's perception against another's vision. To us writers, a good literary brouhaha, replete with bloody ego gore, thin-skinned retaliation, cruelhearted revenge, even displays of printed pique and pettiness would be better than passivity and those endless columns of pap that parade pallidly in our publications. (Even this contrived alliteration is worthy of a swipe in the literary groin.) Grumbach's book raised my hackles. It invites controversy. It has been overpraised by kindly peers. But that has nothing to do with its merits either as a work of the imagination or as an exer-

cise of the novelist's art. -WARRHN ADLER

wittily recollected in the tranquility of a more advanced age. (Heavens, can she have reached the mid-forties or is she just on the brink?) This, then, is a distillation of her observations on love and guilt and the meaning of life with, if one cares to make something of it, more pages devoted to guilt and the meaning of life than to falling in and out of love or bed. In any case, it is vintage Viorst. On "star-crossed love'' she observes: "The closest my husband and I ever get to being s tar-crossed lovers is when he thinks he's meeting me by the frozen vegetable counter and I think he's meeting me by the sour cream." In her section on guilt, she asks: "Are you the kind of person who would never pet a dog if you and the dog were the only ones in the room?"

On the meaning of life, she finds: "Along with the police emergency number, a good recipe for quiche and a hairdresser who'll always work you in, the meaning of life is also a nice thing to know. " This is a fine gift to take to your woman friend in the hospital, providing, or course, it doesn't hurt her to laugh and she is not very sick. -DOROTHY MARKS

THI UNICORN AND THI GARDIN Betty Parry, editor The Word Works, Inc. , $5.95

That "touch of the poet," lurking (we're told) in every one of us, should respond in friendly fashion to The Unicorn and tile Garden , a new anthology of poetry edited by Betty Parry. The poems (and several prose pieces) are by thirty-five local authors who were invited to take part in a poetry and literature series held at the Textile Museum from 1973 to 1975. What a surprising List of our neighbors turned out to be poets! You might expect to find Reed Whittemore, who has been poetry consultant to the Library of Congress and has a string of excellent and popular publications to his name, or Edward Weismiller, author of three books of poems and currently working on a study of John Milton's prosody. But Katie Louchheim, the first woman named deputy assistant secretary of state, or Eugene McCarthy, former Minnesota senator and presidential candidate7 In a bit over 100 pages, a clear picture of Washington poetry during this decade emerges-what it's all about 48/JUNE 1979/DOSSIER

and who the poets are. There are folklorist Sterling Brown's poignant

chie's sharp thoughts about such disparate subjects as fishing, politics and love; Ann Darr's reaction to things around us that we only wis h we had thought of first; and even appealing translations of poems from several other languages. The current poetry consultant at the Li brary of Congress, William Meredith, says he finds the book interesting because. in addition to telling us what "constitutes a poem" in this city at this time, it is also a readable "fragment of cultural history. " I think the reader wiJI agree. P.S. Dear Textile Museum: Isn't it about time you scheduled another poetry and literature seriel' and invited some more of our poetic neighbors to participate? - .ANNE BLAIR SUNJLOWIR

Georgetown

Richard Marek $9. 95 For a first novel, Marily Augbum Sharp's Sunflower is an extraordinary achievement. With its imaginative, bizarre and fast-paced plot involving the kidnapping of the President's four-year-old daughter and incredible intrigue within the CIA, the book manages to be something more-and, at the same time, something less-than the formula suspense thriller. Sharp may be the first congressional wife in history (she is the thirty-sevenyear-old wife of Muncie, Indiana's Democratic Rep. Philip Sharp) to create a thriller. She is certainly the first to receive such industry acclaim and financial rewards as Sunflower is commanding. The scenes involving the White House and Capitol Hill are handled deftly. One of a dozen murders, if you can imagine, takes place in a men's room. Her story moves swiftly £rom Scotland to Washington to Vienna to the ancient ruin of Knossos on Crete and on to Athens. One could wish Sharp's characters, particularly that of superspy, almost-hero Richard Owen, were a bit more fleshed out, but then spies by nature are faceless. Even so she manages to engage reader sympathy for Owen, even as he carries out his horrendous and baffling assignment. This first novel, we are told, took seven years of writing and rewriting. There is, therefore, not quite the easy

The idea for the kidnapping of a Presidential daughter came to Sharp while the Nixons were still in the White House. However, one authentic scene was lifted from the Carter White House. The final chapter in which the Presidential daughter is reunited with her parents was dearly inspired by the Carter picnic on the South Lawn in 1977.

50/JUNE 1979/00SS'IER

The Metropolitan Opera's annual visit to Wolf Trap Farm Park, this year scheduled for June 4th through 9th, is without a doubt Washington's finest and most unpredictable theatrical event. As one young woman put it, "Opera at Wolf Trap is like baseball; the home team doesn't always win." No other art form manages to upset so well those little chemical laboratories in our bodies that produce torrents of emotion. And from the land rush that begins when 3,000 blanket- and basket-waving lawnsitters burst through the gates to the final curtain (which often features Met's music director James Levine, a teddy bear of a man who bounds out of the pit, dressed in a white sweatshirt against the early summer chill, to engulf his principals in mighty hugs), an evening with the Met in the hills of northern Virginia is opera at its most gloriously absurd, magnificently touching, spectacular best. SIX OPIRAS will be performed this year: Othello, Don Carlo, Th e Bartered Bride, all conducted by Levine; Tosca with James Conlon;

IJ89 French Cuisine in Historic Georgetown Setting. " The '89 is a jewel " Dresden. Washington Post

Valet Parking ~ 1226 36th Street, N.W. ·· ·· 965-1789 .

Don Pasquale with Nicola Rescigno; and Dialogues of tl1e Cam1elites with Richard Woitach. Many of the Met's biggies will sing-John Vickers, Nicolai Gedda, Roberta Peters, Mignon Dunn, Gilda Cruz-Romo and Jerome Hines. But when the peculiar flavor of Wolf T rap takes over, be p repared. lt has become a tradition for singers on this open air stage to become "indisposed." I suspect that a timid tuxedoed gentleman is hired each season just to slip between the curtains an d, gla ncing nervously from side to side, announce which star will not be singing. The message is always greeted by shouting, program shredding, footst omping a nd even the occasional h urling of a slightly used fried chicken leg. 011 WITB THI SHOW& This is not the only opportunity for audience participation, however. Daring evening gowns and dancing slippers in the high p riced sea ts and yellow storm slickers, spy-glasses and raccoon coats among the peasantry on the lawn are no less imaginative than p icnic suppers of shrimp in mustard sauce and chablis in silver goblets. Every interm ission, a b irthday or two is celebrated with candles blazing and small children staggering in late night excitement. Shakespeare would have recognized this audience-its members here to be seen, to see each other and to make their critiques known in the most vocal terms. Who the performers will be is not the only element of surprise. Opera in recent years has stressed acting as well as sjnging, but these people are not hired for their Stanislavsky training. And although the acting levels vary from passable to grade school, there is also something endearing about Puccini's villain Scarpia melodiously twitching himself to death like a giant cockroach. The other great question mark is the weather, whkh may change in the course of a performance from balmy to set-flapping windy and rainy cold. On the other hand, Mother Nature can present a perfectly full moon over the cherry-blossomed set of Madam e Butterfly. Such moments are not wasted on the audience, particularly those camped on the hill who, uninhibited by reserved seats and tuxedoes perhaps, gasp and toast with another glass of champagne that element of luck which makes good art memorable and cuddle closer in their sleeping bags. -ROBERT MILLER

A Guide to Presidentic

By VICKI OSTROLENK

Washington is a city every instant celebrity, statesman, queen and international financier visits at least once. For most of us, finding a hotel room to meet our needs is a matter of the right price and locale. For these jet-setters, price is no object and chauffeured limos make location immaterial. Another kind of well-heeled visitor is the company president who brings his whole staff along for a convention. His home-away-from-home is often on-the-house, depending upon how much revenue the hotel expects to make on his retinue. Two types of in-town hotels cater to these well-to-do vagabonds. Those for S2JJUNE 1979/DOSSIER

conventioneers and those for connoisseurs. The former are proud of their massive and varied facilities; the latter are equally proud of their exclusivity and inability to handle large groups. All, however, boast luxurious suites for up to $500 a night. To attract the $100- to $500-a-night guest, Washington hotels are offering simple Little pleasures like turning down beds at night and leaving behind an exclusive little chocolate on each pillow or a miniature bottle of the finest European perfume. The management will also send VIPs complimentary champagne, wine, fruit, cheese, Godiva chocolates and flowers. All convention hotels offer top suites

to company presidents with conventions there. Most times these suites are used for hospitality, often resulting in wine stains on the carpets, broken glasses and sometimes a missing antique or two. The Sheraton Park "lost" two valuable Chinese jardinieres and a pendulum from a grandfather clock. All the hotels boasted of their pet celebrities, but for sheer numbers none could outclass the Watergate which counts as regulars, Rostropovich, Mikhail Baryshnikov, the Beach Boys, Carol Burnett, Gelsey Kirkland, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Chris Reeves, Stan Getz, Pearl Bailey, Linda Ronstadt, John Lennon and George Harrison, to name a few .

Most of my daily spedaJs come with soups and saJads and all kinds of fine ..valuable.. things. The Polynesian/ Continental/ Specialty choices are endless.
