AnnabellS File THE DOSSIER OF WASHINGTON COMMENT Dummies: Apparently nobody told our prominent Washingtonians who agreed to serve on the Inchon Premiere committee that a Moonie front group produced the film . The worst offender: Defense Department officials who knew it from the beginning and didn't lift a finger, making us wonder if the military intelligence community has the competence to fulfill its mission. The military is supposed to be the defender of our cherished values, not blatant supporters of cult groups who tear American families apart, brainwash young people and generally foment dissension between Americans. The movie, reported to be a monumental bore, and a glorification of Korea, now a dubious cause at best, has some famous stars who took the money and ran. Punishment for the military who helped nurture this monstrosity would be to sit through the film until they cry for mercy. Peepling: Jody Powell, Carter's former pressec spending most of his time these days not making appointments ... Another pressec, Ron Nessen, deep into his new novel about a television show, not unlike 60 minutes ... Big John Connally was also saved by a bullet that bounced off a rib . And look at the way Big John came back. Maybe there is something to this sex-in-Congress bit: Liz Ray now lives in a swanky Park Avenue apartment complete with Rolls Royce and is about to take another shot at acting ... Love, incidentally is in bloom everywhere, especially in the Big Apple where Barbara Howar has found a new beau as well as sister-inlaw Nancy Howar ... It also happens in Malibu where Lucy Johnson Nugent is romancing . . . Not to be outdone, Washington claims both the Aniko Gaal and Nash W. Scott and the Lisa Brandt and David Deckelbaum courtships, with Debra Munitz and Jeffrey Linowes tying the knot this month. Happening all over ... Must be something in the soup 'cause even Washington triangles makes news as they did in Suzy's column in the Daily News last month . . . actually it was a quartet. Speaking of triangles, the one

Not Working

Hate

Whatever he was doing, he looks up and stares past whatever there is-a lamp, a window, trees, the shingled garden shedas if he were about to think of something that might have happened to him once, and now refuses to occur to him again.

The eyes smiled outside of their sockets. II. Looking into himself he saw nothing. /IJ. He spilled his unbelief over the table.

IV.

Crying, she could not hear herself

He stares, then, doing absolutely nothing for minutes, hours, or a whole afternoon, as the lamp burns, and sunlight on the shed brightens and fades; the trees put out their leaves and let them fall, and seasons wear away the days when what he wanted had a name.

The wind gave resurrections Which the heart rejected. VI. Gouge out your eyes for me, he said. They are too bright. VIJ. ~fove only what is furtive. Y/IJ.

Jhe song came but could not sing. X. ~ake hay while the dark shines. ihe gave him an apple. I.

7hy couldn 'I he laugh? t Was a good joke.

XII.

DXown the avenue came another.

III.

What if they recognized each other? X IV. I:liroshima: The Bomb blew bones Into silent kitchens.

Henry Taylor Hand

Cell and bone structure more servant than the elbow, and more bird-like than the nose Fingers fan out like spokes on a half-moon wheel or the toes of a balled Chippendale claw. It is a monastery whose fingers bend in repose, a slaughterhouse where nothing is safe.

Dolores Kendrick

p.~lores Kendrick recently read her poetry in the 1 li rary of Congress' Gertrude Whittall Series. b er book, Through The Ceiling, was published Y Paul Breman, London, England, in 1975.

Margo Stever Margo Taft Stever is a Harvard graduate living in Chevy Chase who has worked on the staff of a U.S. Senator and is published in numerous anthologies including Doubleday' No More

Masks.

Henry Taylor is a Professor of Literature at the American University, presently on leave doing a history of Loudon County, Virginia. He is the author of four collections of poems, including Desperado and An Afternoon of Pocket

Billiards.

Who Is It Accuses Us? Who is it accuses us of safety, as if the family were soldiers instead of hostages, as if the gardens were not mined with explosive peonies, as if the most common death were not by household accident? We have chosen the dangerous life. Consider the pale necks of the children under their colored head scarves, the skin around the husbands' eyes, flayed with guilt and promises. You who risk no more than your own skins I tell you household Gods are jealous Gods. They will cover your window sills with the dust of sunsets; they will poison your secret wells with longing.

Linda Pastan The poem is from Linda Pastan's new book, Waiting For My Life, published by W. W. Norton, New York. She teaches a poetry writing workshop at the American University and has read her work at the Smithsonian's Barney Studio House.

With Ford's Consmper Appeals Board, your voice has more power than you think.

[

Whe1

You have the power 't o write a wrong. Because your written word carries considerable weight with the Board. Ford's Consumer Appeals Board has an impressive record of success in reviewing your side of a service-related problem, then reaching a fair settlement. Its fairness is assured because this is an independent Board; three of its five volunteers are consumer representatives with no affiliation with Ford Motor Company or its Dealers. The Board considers complaints involving Ford Motor Company vehicles and Metro Washington and Maryland Ford and Lincoln-Mercury Dealers. The Board will not review: complaints currently in litigation or cases that involve alleged personal injury or property damage, or complaints involving requests for consequential damages. After you've discussed the problem with your Dealer and the Company-and if it remains unsolved-the Ford Consumer Appeals Board will review your case; then it will make a fair and just decision. Its decision is binding on Ford Motor CompanY and your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury Dealer. But it is not binding cin you. We think that's more than fair. Call toll-free:

, ..

on't let the massive door with the heavy ironwork from John Hay's house, once located Where the Hay-Adams Hotel stands today, deceive you. Attorney Hugh and Marian Scott's beautiful residence is not filled with Americana or the kind of rnemorabilia piled up by prominent former U.S. senators. Even though Scott was Chairman of the Republican Party from 1948-49, Wrote books with titles Hke "How to Go Into Politics" and "How to Run For Public Office and Win!" and was elected Republican Minority Leader of the U.S. Senate twenty years later, re~entos of his poHtical past are barey In evidence. Unlike so many other Politicians in this town lingering in the sh~dows of power after having relin~Ulsh~d or lost their place in the egoSOostmg political spectrum, Hugh cott, now a partner in the law firm Barnett, Alagia & Carey, had his mind on other things. I_f law and politics are his profession, Ch1nese art proved to be his ever-lasting Vocation. In contrast to a number of internationally renowned collectors, among them Eugene Bernat whose legendary collection of Chinese ceramics ~as auctioned off last year for more t an 3 million dollars, Scott did not , ~oncentrate on the brilliant art of the ,,u_ng Dynasty (960 - 1270) but the hvely" art of the earlier T'ang Dynasty (618 - 906), a period regarded by Scholars as one of the unrivalled "florâ&#x20AC;˘ ~cence" of the arts. Fascinated by the vlt a r1ty of the arts and crafts of the 'fâ&#x20AC;˘ ang Dynasty he began to collect and 1 barn about it and eventually wrote a AOok, "The Golden Age of Chinese rt," that was published in 1966. When it comes to the history and the ~rts of the T'ang, the politician from thennsylvania, who was first elected to lJ e 77th Congress in 1941 and left the Y.S. Senate undefeated in 1976 after 34 ears of public service, ranks among

the experts. His remarkable collection, rich in mirrors, gold and silver objects, bronzes, whiteware, multi-colored "san t'sai" glazed pottery and ceramics, terra-cotta figures, carved jades, glass and textiles, was accumulated in the good old days when people collected for pleasure. "I did not grow up with antiques . My first purchase of oriental art was a "kakemono," a Japanese ancestor portrait," Scott confesses. "That was in 1935. I was a young lawyer and we were in the process of furnishing our first house in Philadelphia." Looking back, he guesses that the art objects in John Wanamaker's antique shop had something to do with his interest in the arts of Japan. As an officer of the U.S. Navy in World War II, Scott belonged to the occupation forces bound for Japan . Still, his attention was soon diverted to Chinese art. It happened during a trip to pre-Communist China in 1947. What in particular attracted him to the art of the T'ang Dynasty, described by him as "lusty," was not just the mastery of form and technique, but a quality that relates to the social and political outlook of that epoch. "It was a cosmopolitan period," Scott explains. ''For the first time, Westerners were encouraged to live there. The influx of foreigners had a most invigorating effect on the arts. They came from Greece, Persia, Arabia, India, Korea and Japan. The Emperor's court became a place where scholars, poets, painters and musicians gathered and the arts flourished." Scott, a Phi Beta Kappa with a law degree from the University of Virginia, is a quiet, scholarly man rather than a flamboyant politician. In order to illustrate his observations he guides the visitor to the tomb figures, mostly modeled of buff pottery, in his study: a "Turkic type" guardian, a Semitic merchant with traces of pigment on Dossier/May 1981117

clothing of Sassanian or Persian inspiration, a Christian missionary, a Persian groom, the small dark-green glazed figure of a court jester with Tartar cap, the camels from far away countries and the imported horses from Feraghan. Among the court ladies and dancers with their elaborate headdresses, often with pigment on the buff clay, an equestrian figure of gray clay from the earlier Wei Dynasty attracts attention. At close inspection she turns out to be a lady in topknot carrying a musical instrument with infinite grace. With pride the collector points to various silver objects with decorative Sassanian motifs: the splendid ovalshaped cup with its high stemmed foot of hammered silver, chased with gilt and embellished with scrolls and tendrils and wonderful birds in flight, or the striking hexafoil covered box, golddecorated with an intricate leaf and floral design, from the beginning of the 8th century.

dery Street," he says. The collector visibly enjoys touching these precious objects. "Their early value was established by the Arabs who controlled the sea trade," he comments, resting his eyes on a bronze teapot of perfect proportions, elegantly decorated with gold and lacquer-flying birds, flowers, lotus plants and a gold phoenix, the symbol of the Empress-applied perhaps in niello technique. Enhanced by an earlier design in copper by a different artist beneath the sumptuous gold decor, this exquisite example of T'ang craftsmanship is-like so many other objects in this notable collection-a museum piece that has been exhibited around the country. However, the oldest and most extraordinary items are the jades from the Shang Dynasty (1500 - 1050 B.C.): a support of a box in pale luminous jade and a delicately carved fish and rabbit. A flat ritual disk of reddish greenish jade, one of the religious pieces symbolizing heaven with a slight imperfection along the edge, is meant to demon-

f you are a believer in the old Spanish toast Pesos, Salud, Amor, y el Tiempo para Gustarlos (Money, Health, Love and Time to Enjoy Them), you can agree with our Washington couples' assertion that retirement is not an end, but a beginning . Both the Ditzens and the Kellys share those precious ingredients-a zest for life and pleasure in each other's company-that keep them coming back for more of whatever they do best. The former Eleanor Davies Tydings, now Mrs. Lowell Russell Ditzen, will easily bring up her age. She just turned 77 in April. Married to Senator Millard Tydings in 1935 until his death in 1961, she remained a widow for five years. "Then the Reverend came to town" from his New York, Westchester County parish , swept her off her feet and married her in 1966. During the winter, they reside in their elegant Calvert Street apartment resplendent with Oriental cabinets from the Imperial Palace in Peking, a Louis XVI desk-one of over a dozen that the King had made for his ladies-in-waiting-and a display case highlighting a monogrammed cigarette case that once belonged to N icholas II.

Ambassador to Russia fro ro 1936-38. In the summer and on soroe winter weekends, the Ditzens travel to "Oakington," the 400-acre DavieS family estate since 1935, on the bankS of Chesapeake Bay. As his wife looked for something sh~ misplaced, Dr. Ditzen laughed an said, "My wife was asked what peoPI~ do when they're retired. Well, we spen half of our time looking for . ou ~ glasses!'' Hardly. The Ditzens do 1t al · play bridge and golf, host dinner par· ties, lunch with friends and spend even; ings dancing. "Lowell is the best danced in the world, except for me," notee Mrs . Ditzen. In spite of an active leis~~~ life, she was quick to point out t be· "We don't want to be written up as ing old retired people who don't~~ anything but dance and play bridge. 101 have great interests and we spend a of time on them." ns Anyone who has met the DitZ~ze would be hard pressed to categor~e them as such .

''Mr. President I would expect you to say that you won 't go to the dinner unless women are invited. ''

here's another Washington couple ''swinging on the garden gate," Rear Admiral and Mrs. (Virginia Weldon) Kelly. She was 14 years old at the time she met young Lieutenant Kelly while visiting her older sister Violet and her husband. Two young girls lived next door to her sister and at the last minute needed someone to round out the table at a dinner party the next night. By her account, all they wanted was an extra body to "make the table." "1 ust let her breathe in and out,'' the girls instructed her older sister. Mrs. Kelly reminisced, "I saw this tall fellow winding the Victrola and I thought 'Goodness, he is so attractive.' Anyway, when we were at the table, he said to me, 'Miss Weldon, how old are you?' Well now, would you have said you were fourteen? I don't think so. So I thought about saying sixteen, then thought, 'That's not good enough.' So I said, 'I'm seventeen' and he said, 'You don't look it.'" Lieutenant Kelly was instantly smitten. But he waited until she was 17 Yz before asking her father for her hand and married her three months later, when she was 18. Many years later (Mrs. Kelly is very superstitious about "happiness" and refuses to arouse evil spirits by revealing either her age or how long they've been

married), they're still in lov.e. "Although we have very spirited dts· agreements and discussions ... we have always loved each other," she said. A repeated refrain from Admiral Kelly is~ constant, "I love her with all my heart. Over the years, they've traveled 3 great deal, he at first with his naval career, she independently. When the Admiral retired from the Navy in 19)0, after 33 years of service which included a stint on the carrier "Houston," he went to work for Mobil Oil CompanY as the Assistant to the Chairman of the Board and stayed for 15 Yz years. M?re recently, he served as an engineertn~ consultant to Mercedes-Benz of Nort America and represented Max Factor as well. Now, he continues his busine interests and according to Mrs. KellY• remains "busy as a birddog." The Admiral isn't the family's on 1~ "busy birddog." Mrs. Kelly ' s schedll would intimidate anyone.

"I don't . have that much time to go to the theater or travel 'cause there just isn't that ~Uch time," she said. Admiral Kelly's 1 ~terpretation of "hobbies" is a little different, however.

n a catalog from one of Washington's exclusive Connecticut Avenue shops there is a photo of a needlepoint pillow on which the inscription reads "Live long enough to be a burden to your children." The message is obviously meant in a light vein, but it rings with an element of truth. Burdening their children is not the goal of the elderly and should a parent need a little extra care, there are alternatives for all family members: retirement homes . The Washington area offers a wide selection of choice facilities. In most homes mentioned, dining and housekeeping services come with the accommodations, beauty shops may be on the premises, nurses are readily available and all have places of worship for all denominations. One major feature of all the homes is a round of almost non-stop, planned social activities . Arts and crafts, exercise classes, bridge, bingo, cookouts and cocktail parties, ranging from Friday night "happy hours" to simple wine and cheese or pizza and beer, dominate many homes. Some even boast regular live entertainment and first run movies. A sampler of area retirement and nursing homes follows .

SLOWING DOWN-

Chevy Chase House (5420 Connecticut Avenue, N.W., Washington) is noted as one of the "luxury retirement houses, complete with a dining room that shows off with pink linens, fresh flowers on the table and wine served with dinner. Chauffeur driven limousines will take you around town. A full time recreation director keeps the residents busy with planned activities every day of the week, including a Wednesday night cocktail party, bingo, outings to the Kennedy Center and live entertainment, which could be opera, ballet or Irish dancers, if it's St. Patrick's Day. Residents look forward to Memorial Day when the outdoor "sidewalk cafe" opens for summer cookouts. One of the more familiar names in residence is Robert Lincoln Todd Beckwith, the great, great grandson of Abraham Lincoln; Mr. Beckwith is in his early 90's. Meg McGeogh is the Director of the House. The Georgetown (2512 Que Street, N.W., Washington) which opened last May is run by the same management as Chevy Chase House and has the same variety of programs and facilities. Executive Director John J. Walsh emphasizes that being there is "a continuation of a lifestyle." Citing a gamut of activities similar to Chevy Chase House, he stresses that the residents "enjoy every day here because there's always something going on."

ommercial bank trust officers are almost as low-key and tight-lipped as intelligence agents when it comes to discussing their customers. The officers are privy to more than investment information; they often serve as surrogate parents, foster families, and even analysts. "0 ur approach is very personaI'' , says George E. Flather, Jr., Executive Vice President/trust officer at First American Bank, N.A. "The custorner can call on us at any time for invest· ,, ment help or any other kind of advice. The trust banking business is based on setting and attaining personal goals. The trust department officials in Was~· ington say their involvement in indt· vidual accounts is as varied as the number of customers they serve. "Estate planning is becoming verY flexible, very affirmative and v~rY creative," says Lee C. Tashjian, Vtce President and trust officer at the Riggs National Bank. "Instead, the officers now have become much better educated, rnuch more sophisticated and are specialists in the trust and investment area."

the customers' personal tax status." The average trust fund managed by local banks has assets of $300,000 to $500,000. Most trust officers do not recommend a trust fund for investments less than $150,000. However, these smaller investments are often Pooled into common trust funds which the bank manages on a group instead of an individual basis. The trust fund is both a tax-saving and time-sav in g vehicle for the customer. Estates left to families through trusts can reduce and often eliminate the family's estate tax bill. A trust insures that the funds go to the intended recipients and do not have to go through probate. One of the most important advan~ages of the trust to many investors is its Inherent privacy An estate which goes through probat~ becomes part of the PUblic record. A trust fund may pass through generations in total privacy. b The trust officers at all three major anks note that trust funds are manag~~ as much by investor personality as ey are by investment goals. "If an O:der woman is still sharp and handling a I her own stock transactions well," s~ys Flather, "I'd never propose to take t at independence away from her." The trust industry is one of the most stable in business. As one trust officer atAm · encan Security Bank commented, ,, r Once the trust relationship is estabt~hed is tends to stay with you. Unlike a ~ ecking account customer who may ecome angered over an error in the monthly statement and move the ac~~unt.elsewhere, you really have to anI gontze a trust customer to have him eave Your bank." r "{he per.sonnel of trust departments e lect thts stability. In every bank ~Urveyed, the trust officers are longerrn employees. d Most prospecting for new clients is one among the individual bank's

customers involved with other bank services. The degree of personal attention required of each account promotes this process. Fee structures among the banks are fairly standard and are determined on a percentage basis of the assets involved. It is becoming more common for younger professionals to turn to the bank to manage their portfolios. Trust officers note that many individuals prefer the convenience of a trust and will later convert that trust fund into some sort of estate plan. There can be pitfalls to this method of investment. According to Rigg's Vice President George R. Adams, "The horror stories arise when people don't expect the unexpected. You have to plan to try to cover as many contingencies as possible. "Sometimes people try to do their own planning. A homemade plan is like trying to take out an appendix without a surgeon." There are many factors which will have a dramatic impact on the evolution of the trust industry in the 1980s. Adams cites, for example, the pressures from within the banking community to reduce regulations. "What we are striving for is the expansion of the services we can offer as a broad-based financial institution without losing the quality of a prudent investment approach," Adams says. Trusts can be maintained as fairly active and liquid investments. Every trust officer smiles at the remembrance of a teenager living off a trust who asked for stereo equipment or the customer who increased her charitable trust benefit to the local animal shelter. "Our trust operations give people more time for other things and help them reduce the amount they worry about their investments," Flather said . "We are directly involved in our customers' lives." 0

Ginger Rogers (72 and holding!) made the day when she danced with everybody's husband (George Bush, Ken Crosby, Alan Randall and Patrick Hayes' stepson to name a few) at the livelY Crysta l Tea Dance sponsored by the Women's Committee of the Washington Society for the Performing Arts. The Sun· day afternoon terps ichore to fund the Concerts-in-Schools Program, packed the Grand Ballroom of the Mayflower Hotel with $100 ticket holders who sipped "high tea" (wine and vodka martinis) and munched on scones and crepes flambe. Chairman Barbara Gordon kept the par· ty moving from receiving line to 9 p.m. finale with assists from Vice Chairman Coral Schmid, Mrs. Joseph D'Edmidio, Mrs. John Fitzpatrick and Mrs. James Harkless-proof that tea dances pay and may be the new "In " way to play in Washington this year. The morning after the Crystal Tea Dance found the WPAS Women's Com· mittee back on their feet again for a 10 till noon "Mix 'n Mingle" Reception at the Phillips Gallery for First Lady NancY Reagan and her partner Barbara Bush · The event drew over 250 distaff volunteers from a variety of arts programs. As a group it was ultra-suede incest, as most of the pastel clad volunteers had several arts affiliations such as Mrs. Theodore Bedwell (Symphony and Ballet) and Mrs. James R. Patton, Jr. (Smithso· nlan and Phillips Counci l). Esther Coopersmith boosted the Children ' ~ Museum ... Lilly Guest wore a Friends o the Kennedy Center tag. Best quote honors went to Barbara Bush who commented that " public service and volunteerism is really the rent you pay tor -ARAMINTA living on this earth."

Jehan Sadat , wife of the Egyptian Pres ident, is a true soldier in the service of the arts. Her rigorous three-day schedule of events to herald the " Egypt Today" exposilion, encompassing exhibits at six Smithsonian museums, ceremonies and related soCial activities at the White House, the Nalional Academy of Science and other pillars Of Washl ngton's cultural establishment , freQuently left Egypt's indefatigable First Lady With but 30 minutes between speaking engagements. But she never lost her composure nor her good humor, according to her 1 hosts, some of whose comments were: • A delightful person. Very pleasant. -Roger Kennedy, director of the Museum Of American History whose exhibit comprised drawings by members of pre-Napoleonic ex;:gyp· Peditions showing Egyptian life and their translation to architecture and the decoralive arts. • She's a patient listener. She especially liked the way we mounted our exhibit of core-formed glass cosmetic containers on ltnen-covered blocks with inconspicuous supports to permit small items to be seen Wefi.-Dr. Tom Lawton, Director of the Freer Gallery. • She wanted to walk around the rest of the Third Floor Ambulatory and picked out several modern pieces to comment on. She atso talked about the elegance of our p,resentation (of Egyptian sculptor •YJahmoud Moukhtar's works) and the Whiteness of the museum against which the ~i.eces showed to such advantage.- The 'llrShhorn's Abram Lerner. • She was delighted that Americans, who s? warmly welcomed the King Tut antiquittes, are finally getting to see some contem 1 IJorary things.-Ambassador John Jova, Mrs. Sadat's host at a Meridian House luncheon. She thought our exhibit of contemporary Costumes and jewelry of Egypt quite beauti· fut and asked a number of questions, remarking on the areas from which they 3 El came.-Director Warren Robbins, Museum Of African Art. I(·· Mrs. Sadat spoke to us after the MetIds Chorus, a group of neighborhood Children, sang about peace and love. She Said she felt more at home with this group than with any other because she spent so much time with her own grandchildren Whom she was missing. She noted that Children have the gift of loving one another easily, and said she hoped they would carry this ability into adult life.-Effi Barry and cid?le Alexander, coordinator of the Capital hlldren' s Museum exhibit of tapest ries ioven by tiny fingers depicting " Egypt hrough the Eyes of Her Children ." • The most marvellous woman in the ~Orld, without exception. This enormously 'mPressive and clever woman is captivating :nd that rare person who has something 1ensible to say about almost everything D?m restoration to people to schools.-S. ...Ilion Ripley, Secretary of the Smithsonian, "ho introduced Mrs. Sadat at the Renwick ~al_lery dinner, the Smithsonian Castle ex'v1id· s 1 ~1t, and the National Academy of Science __...-/ 01ree.

To most of the guests present, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jameson's black tie dinner for forty at the Metropolitan Club was a tour de Ioree. There were no honored guests, no head table and no long speeches, although most of the men and some of the women Were all called upon to speak. And speak they did. Mostly the guests lauded the Reagan administration and the new spirit it had given the country as ex· ernpllfied by one of the guests, Secretary of State AI Halg, who with Sen. Charles Percy ~anked Mrs. Jameson, the spectacularly eautlful Eva Gabor. Many of the men were members of the larned "Conquistadors," a social club for Presidents and Chairmans of major com· Panies and shouts of "Viva" were not un· common as each guest concluded his remarks, which were all spontaneous. Sen . Percy's remarks concluding the evening described the ordeal of Secretary ~alg's confirmation hearings opining that he anguish was worth the candle and vall· dated the American system . Secretary Halg Vigorously nodded assent, although equally VIgorously denied, when it was suggested, 1hat he was Interested in any future office. The lone Democrat present was Con· ~tessman Fred Richmond who kept the rayed banner of liberalism waving in the mostly conservative crowd . s Among the guests were Tunisian Ambas· bador and Mrs. Ali Hedda, Hungarian Am· 1~ssador and Mrs. Ferenc Esztergalyor, s'Sh Ambassador and Mrs. Sean Donlon, f.trltish Ambassador and Mrs. Nicholas f: anderson, Jordan Ambassador and Mrs. p~Waz Sharaf, Admiral Thomas Hayward, f.tr 1nce and Princess Youka Troubetzkoy, MlJghes' Alrcrafts' Jack Winkel and Babette, and Mrs. Harry Coombs, Mr. and Mrs. rn Shepley, Admiral and Mrs .

In the nation's capital, it's

Br"<AZILIANS 'KISS' kiSSINGER Former Secretary of State, Dr. Henry Kissinger, was the center of attention at a dinner in his honor at the Brazilian Embassy. It was a time for administration officials Present, such as White House aide Mike Deaver and U.N. Ambassador Jeane KirkPatrick to compare notes with the former Player of palace politics. As Brazil's Ambassador Antonio da Silveira said in his toast at dinner, "Henry Kissinger and I met In 1974 and I felt right away that we would become good friends." Henry the K responded by recalling that he once lunched With the Ambassador in Atlanta instead of accepting the invitation of Georgia's Governor Jimmy Carter for the same time. ''The rest was history," Kissinger noted, and they drank to that.

FOR LUNCH

Nancy Kissinger couldn 't make it. Mrs. Rockefeller couldn't make it. Barbara lJsh could, but only on Friday the 13th. So ~lJth Espil threw superstition aside and inVited a stellar group of women to lunch at ~he Argentine residence to honor the Vice President's wife. Pat Haig, Lee Annenberg, atricia Allen and Mar cia Carlucci represented th e administration . .Tall oriental floral arrangements of white 111 1 les on the table recalled Mrs. Bush' s time n China and her love of Asian arts. MIn the living room for coffee afterward, 1 rs. Espil gave Mrs. Bush a typical poncho ~0 m. the north, worn by Argentine gaucho.,1arnors. The Vice-President's wife noted, l's Nancy-red . She'll have to borrow it 1rom me." B Others at the table included Mrs. Warren Gurger, Peggy Crosby, Deena Clark, Ethel Parrett, Renee Robinson, Rosemary Cod us, Megg.y LeBaron , Lorraine Percy, the wives of B ex~~an Ambassador Margain and Praz11 1an Ambassador da Silveira , and A.eggy ~art in, wife of former Ambassador to rgentma Edwin Martin.

STATE FETES DONORS "Lend me your ears .. . your dollars and antiques, too!" implored Clement Conger, Chairman of the State Department Fine Arts Committee. More than I000 donors and lenders turned out for a lavish reception in their honor, hosted by Secretary of State and Mrs. Haig . Midway through receiving line duties, the Haigs were joined by Vice President and Mrs. Bush and the guests had a chance to rub elbows with top-level Reagan appointees plus long· time local supporters of the project which, in 1980, netted nearly a million dollars in funds and antiques. Started 10 years ago, Conger's highlY successful project has transformed the once motel-style reception rooms atoP the State Department into a showcase of exquisite and authentic Americana. A dozen flower-bedecked buffets dispensed everything from oysters and caviar to flaming blueberry crepes. ln the crowd were Presidential Counsellor Edwin Meese ill, Mrs. Dean Acheson strolling among the new acquisitions on the arm of her son, David, white-haired Paul Nitze, the Daniel Boorstins, sculptor Felix deWeldon, Evangeline Bruce with the George Renchards and Dorothy Clagett. Meanwhile prettY Lianne Conger kept a wary eye on numerous lighted candles highlighting the furnishings, lest heat or flame corne too near for the comfort of some of the "new" antiques. -ANNE BLAIR

ettes that used to be part of the tomb furnishings of dignitaries during the late seventh or eighth century. All in all, the ardent collector visited the People's Republic seven times. He remembers well the forties when the dealer in Chinese art, Duncan & Duncan, imported the most wonderful collectibles in wooden barrels and one could find things for ten or fifteen dollars. "I have found these objects all over the world, though not recently," he adds. The elegant black lacquered 18th century screen, enchantingly decorated With exotic birds and fanciful oriental floral motifs, comes from an antique shop in Louisville. The beautifully carved screen of lapis lazuli is from the collection of the Duke of Gloucester. The gorgeous "brush washer," a work Of art carved out of pine green jade that once graced the library of an empress, Was bought at auction at Adam Weschler & Son in 1976. "Today's prices are just too high. By and large, I stopped buying several Years ago," Scott continues. "When I started out with random purchases Which eventually led me into a very specialized field, I bought for my own Pleasure. The thought of buying for inVestment never occurred to me. I followed my own tastes and occasionally I rnay have gotten the wrong pieces." Scott's smile is as modest as his derneanor. Pipe in hand, he strolls across the spacious living room to what may Well be one of the oldest dining tables in the country. It is a slender, long table &learning in honey-colored "Padouk" Wood from Borneo. Actually, it is a Prayer table from a temple, dating back to 1450, that once belonged to George Vanderbilt and had served time in a rnuseum in Honolulu. Altogether, the Scotts own 13 pieces of furniture from the Ming period. "Ming furniture with its simple uncluttered lines was the inspiration of banish modern. The Scandinavians have studied them well," Scott declares lllatter of factly. He discovered his faVorite pair of 17th century side tables, With upturned edges to hold up scrolls, forty years ago in Philadelphia. An inlaid chair from about 1680 is another treasure on display in this unique living room that doubles, as every room in liugh and Marian Scott's house, as a llluseum. The phenomenon is that its

owners have managed to retain a homelike atmosphere. Despite the English Chippendale vitrine, a fine specimen of Georgian chinoiserie, acquired from the widoW of Senator Robert Kerr of Oklahoma, which is filled to the brim with T'ang ceramics and pottery and other art objects, the elegant living room has a decidedly lived-in look. Somewhere among the vessels, vases, large and small dishes, wine cups and jars, the bird-headed ewer, saki bottles and high-necked amphoras, the ancient gold cup with the finely incised lotus flower, the filigree hairpins, camels and chimeras, in a small velvet box lies the James Smithson silver medal from the Smithsonian Society. It is an award, bestowed upon donors of more sub· stantial gifts. Donations worth $100,000 or more are rewarded with a gold medal, and it is no secret that Hugh and Marian Scott are strong con· tenders . Not surprisingly, Scott, a moderate Republican, was in favor of establish· ing relations with the People's RepubliC of China. "In the long run, one could not ig· nore 800 million people," says Scott, stressing the fact that their numbers have meanwhile increased to 960 mil· lion. Together with then Senate Majori· ty Leader, Mike Mansfield, who alsO served on the Senate's foreign relations committee in 1972, Scott was the first Republican U.S. Senator to be received by Premier Chou En-lai, some si~ weeks after President Nixon's historic state visit. Since his retirement from the Senate four years ago, Scott's involvement with the People's Republic has becorne more pronounced. As a corporate law· yer dealing in international trade and law, he has undertaken four trips to the mainland, representing various clientS whose interests range from arts, craftS and wickerware to the export of coal· He belongs to the legal committee of the National Council for U.S.-China Trade as well as the Japan-U.S. Foun· dation chaired by Angier Biddle Dulce and the Pan-Pacific Community Asso· dation. As a collector, he seems to be more surefooted in his assessment of Chinese art than the politician was in his judS' ment of the political events concernin~ China. Interestingly, in the spring o 1971, the influential Senator seriouslY doubted the possibility of formal reeDS' nition of "Red China" within thll1 decade.

Asked about the reasons for giving up his Senate seat, certainly a note· worthy decision in this power· conscious town, Scott simply replies, "Sooner or later one reaches the point when one wants to be one's own per· son, when one wants some freedom and not quite so much pressure." How important is it for him to re· mind others that he left the Senate undefeated becomes clear when he in· sists that voluntary retirees are referred to as "former" Senators while those who get out too late-like Jake Javitsand wind up their public careers in in· glorious defeat have to make do with the prefix "ex ." That a room was recently named after him in the Senate wing obviously fills him with great pride and joy. His wife Marian wistfully suggests that his collection played a considerClble part in the smooth transition fro!ll public to private life. In a way, Scott has embraced a two-track career where the political honors and advances are balanced by about as many manifesta· tions of respect where discriminating taste and scholarly knowledge count. Throughout his life, the collection and the people and activities connected with it-be that on the board of the Freer Gallery of Art, the Board of Re· gents of the Smithsonian, the Oriental Ceramic Society in the U .K., · Asia House or the Advisory Committee on Oriental Art of the Philadelphia Mu· seum-formed a continuous thread. And if Hugh and Marian, who collects small Russian boxes, have one concern. it happens to be the lack of interest on the part of their eight grandchildren in their grandparents' magnificent obses· sion . Meanwhile, upgrading the collection keeps them busy. ''All collectors knoW one another," Scott beams. "We are in constant touch, comparing and eJ'· changing information. Like any other knowledgeable person, I get letters every month from somebody whose grandfather has left a Chinese snuff bottle or a celadon bowl which, the cor· respondent guesses, must be worth a fortune. What is it worth, they want to know. Of course, I do not do apprais· als," he chuckles. . What about the museums and the1r curators? What is their attitude? 0° they hover, court and cajole the colJec· tor into parting with some of his most prized possessions? . Scott's somber voice takes on a diS· tinctly mischievous note: "They pay a tention! They pay attention!"

Great homes, like~at art,mdkea grrind investment. The world, unfortunately, will never receive another painting from Monsieur Renoir: All that will ever be now exi t. This District, in the same kind of way, will have no more chances to live at Georgetown on green, wooded acres, simply surrounded by space. There won't be any more forty-two acre ires di covered at Georgetown. H ilJandale at Georgetown has begun accepting contracts on the thirty-four new residences in our Chancery section. These grand new homes offer spacr to 'Mishingtonians who require a great deal of space. Inside, homes in the Chancery have over four thousand square feet and offer three, four, and five bedrooms.

Dramatic design features in the Inverness House model include a living room which soars three stories high... et off by a glass wall two stories high ... and, above it all, a skylight lets in sunlight and starlight. An elevator, at your option, will whi k you smoothly and quickly from your underground garage to your third-story library... where you may enjoy the magnificent view.

The Educated Palate A BRIEF LOOK AT "NEW RESTAURANTS"

Where can you find the most ethereal snails? Want a bit of magic with your meal? Where can you eat a FeijoadaWhat is a Feijoada anyway? The answers to these questions are all found in the following sampling of new restaurants that have been hitting the Washington area faster than federal budget cuts. Just above the Farragut North Metro Perches Charley's Crab, the latest in a lively chain of restaurants that will answer the fish-lovers craving for the chargrilled fresh catch. The handsome beige and mirrored Art Deco setting is highlighted by stuffed geese and orchid and green needlepoint banquettes; table linens are white over dark pinstripe cloths. Besides poached, chargrilled or broiled fresh scrod or bass, a Spanish paella and a lusty bouillabaisse are offered at night, and all manner of crab in season. The Mussels ala Muermussels steamed in a wine sauce and a chilled raw bar platter-are unique starters. Despite the cushy ambiance, diners are encouraged to roll up their sleeves to enjoy the "down east feast." A. piano bar is featured nightly. Gary's at 1800 M St., N.W., is also becoming a businessman's favorite. l'he bar is to the right; diners step down to the left into an elegant dining room set off by stained glass windows and White linens. This restaurant knows its beef and lobster; the pasta is fresh and the veal especially fine. Try the crabCakes. The tables are flanked by overstuffed chairs and are far enough apart so one can truly dine in understated elegance. Inaugural-goers had an early sampling of Number's she-crab soup at the National Visitors' Center's "Taste of America" extravaganza and have been coming back for more at 1330 19th St., N.w., ever since. A jazz trio and a Pianist entertain nightly, and diners can also dance in the Club Room. The chic black and white decor serves as a backdrop for a limited menu of ContinentalAmerican cuisine, like sauteed scallops and assorted lamb dishes. Dessert-

fanciers will gravitate toward the fried Haagen Dazs ice cream as well as the German chocolate cake. Basil's restaurant, a mix of basil green, brass and crystal, is becoming an elegant restaurant for Hill notables. Owner Mario Basil has been in the food business for over 30 years, and this restaurant is the culmination of his tastes acquired worldwide-f: om ta~1gy cream

of sorrel soup to Veal Chop a la Pescador (glazed with pesto sauce). The finest cuts of aged prime steak in a glass cooler greet diners at the door. Save room for the frozen cappuccino pie, a mix of bitter coffee, cream and chocolate at its finest. Pendleton's at 501 2nd St., N.E., is an eclectic melange of oak antiques and a Mexican feeling in the downstairs din-

ing room. The lime-baked chicken and fish specials are very popular .' Sit outside for a summer choice of six novel salads and other light offerings. Mel Krupin's at 1120 Connecticut Avenue is as New Yorky as Washington will ever get with host Mel Krupin greeting people at the door with his wry Brooklyn wit. The food is strictly American with kosher pickles and crisp rolls on the table, setting the stage for tasty, copious portions and the clubbY ambience created by Washington political and sports stars and entertainers. Georgetown has seen the old Aldo's of yesteryear resurrected at 1201 28th St., N.W. White and silver foil wall· paper make the intimate dining roo!Il most appealing. Small seating (84 in two rooms) can mean increased expec· tations, and diners won't be disap· pointed with appetizers like a luxuriant antipasto (big enough for lunch) or the Trout alla Livornese, frest trout sauteed with caper sauce. The West End Cafe stands in FoggY Bottom at 1 Washington Circle. Both the Garden Room, filled with greenerY to set off the beige decor, and the Piano Room/Bar offer a spirited, casual at· mosphere. The barbecued sesame duck or zucchini-stuffed chicken offer the diner light, tasty entrees. Happy hour has an ethnic twist, with Mexican hors d'oeuvres one day and fresh eggrolls the next. What is a Feijoada anyway? It's the national dish of Brazil, a kind of steW with black beans and assorted cured meats arid sausages. The Cafe de lpanema, 1524 Wisconsin Ave., N.W., serves it with rice, manioc meal, shred· ded kale and orange slices arranged on a plate. The sopa de siri, a lovely crearn of crab soup, is an alluring beginning, and if the tasty Vatapa is a special, bY all means try the shellfish and shrirnP melange. Service is earnest and friendlY in this spare diner with bright green and yellow primitive scenes of Brazilian life. Until a liquor license is granted, the bar serves as coat storage! Also, from south of the border comes Las Pampas, 3291 M St., N.W· The Argentinian steak house Jets passers-by get hungry by lookin8 through the window into the kitchen with its beef and sausage laden grillS· Meat isn't aged, it's marinated. Try the Churrasco-a thick slab of beef at a bargain price-or the Parrillada, all Argentine mixed grill. Peppino's of Georgetown, at 1075 Thomas Jefferson Street, N.W., is a small, cozy New York type bistro, ac· 60/ May 1981/ Dossier

cented in red, black and gold. I found especially enticing the Veal Saltimbocca with savory cheese and spinach, savored in a Marsala sauce. Another very popular dish is their Shrimp Marinara. They make their own lovely cannollis for dessert. Place Vendome-Rive Droite has taken over the spot where Rive Gauche was for nearly 25 years. Michel Burkle has created an airy oak-paneled brasserie-with romantic Art Deco green lanterns and a masterful luminist painting of Place Vendome by Jose Fabricante. Prices are competitive but the food is extraordinary. Four original pates are offered at $2.95; the Terrine Fondante de Foie de Canard is special. Entrees include duck breast with cider-basked turnips or scallions, sauteed with endives. The place promises to be a chic after-theater and late-night spot; they're open until 4 a.m. By all means save room for Place Vendome nougatine ice cream in raspberry sauce or the assorted pastries, little culinary art treasures in themselves. Annie Oakley Saloon has just opened upstairs from Place Vendome on M St.; Georgetown finally has a real western bar! Hamburgers, chili, nachos and other western treats are offered. The Texas State Society has already claimed it as their own. Great restaurants try not to die, but (ew can move as artfully as has the Rive Gauche to the Georgetown Inn at 1320 Wisconsin Ave., N.W. Michel Laudier, the chef who made it great, is serving many of the same superb dishes, like the lobster souffle or salmon with sorrel sauce. The restaurant has been transformed into beige and crystal elegance, and new masterpieces can be expected from Chef Laudier. Talk about gimmicks! The Brook Farm Inn of Magic, 7101 Brookville Rd., Chevy Chase, presents a magic comedy cabaret with a prix fixe dinner like prime rib, tenderloin with Burgundy sauce, tropical house salad and dessert. The show is entertaining and professional. On Saturday a magic show for kids offers all-they-can-eat pizza and spaghetti. There's a magician and fire-eater in the brown-paneled interior. Le Vagabond, 7315 Wisconsin Ave., Bethesda, presents some fabulou" culinary alternatives. First of all, owtlers Mike and Norma Mayo make guests feel really welcome in this cozy brown and wood downstairs niche. And their Danish chef has created the most succulent tender Salmon Graavlax ever en-

countered. The menu is a gourmet tour, from the Russian blini with caviar, the Roumanian mixed grill of beef sausage, liver, lamb and pork to Pheasant au Port and Beef Wellington. A strolling musician completes the romance on weekends. The East Wind restaurant, 809 King St., Alexandria, offers some of the best Vietnamese cooking in Washington. The dining room is a tasteful and gentle brown and blond wood stage where the Oriental masterpieces keep coming from the spotless kitchen. Owner Khai Nguyen has taken many pains to create the peaceful decor; the Pho (beef soup), flounder with special sauce or Bo Dun-chargrilled beef strips cradling onion pieces-speak volumes about the subtly complex flavors of Vietnamese cuisine. And where are the best escargots in town? They're actually in Rosslyn at Moo Paris, 1111 19th St. Joined bY mushroom chunks, the snails were cooked in delicate sauce, though cornposed by a blend of heady garlic, parsley and other ingredients. A white dining room with gold woodwork and dark draped cornices is the backdroP for other specialties like duck sauced in kiwi, fruit, grapes and flambeed in cassis. Lunch offers La Salade Moll Paris, with duck and lobster. The service needs some ironing out, but the offerings are well worth a visit. Barclays, 9910 Main St., Fairfax, presents a nautical theme carried ov~r into fresh fish offerings and fettucinl· Barclays' bucket is filled with crab legs, mussels, clams, new potatoes, corn-on· the-cob and lobster, and the homemade biscuits are downright addicting. Prime beef is found at Chateaubri· and in Old Town, 112 North Asaph St .• Alexandria. The orange, beige and rust surroundings are highlighted by a spiral staircase, and a pianist plays nightiYd· Accoutrements like Caesar salad an crab-stuffed mushrooms do not go un· noticed. Do you dare leave room for the chocolate cheesecake? Finally, Quigley's, 3201 New MexicO Ave., N.W., is a funky fun saloon. The mesh of Tiffany, brass and wood is just right for the raw bar, salads and hafl1' burgers that are offered. Night time of· fers Chicken Marsala and other en· trees. It's a cozy way to cap off the daY· With few exceptions, these resta~ rants have all opened within the pasts~ months.
