COVER
The British and Washington are presented in this issue as seen by
Simon Winchester, a London Times columnist who is leaving our town
after eight happy years. In that time he has met and known many of the
cast of characters who have come from the U.K. to their former colony.
No Briton has had more impact on Washington than Sir Winston Chur-
chill whose statue accompanies former U.S. Ambassador Anne Arm-
strong on our cover. Sir Winston stands one foot on British soil and the
other on U.S. territory in front of the British Embassy on Massachusetts
Avenue where for the past several months an early-morning jogger has
placed a posy in his hand. The 1,500 pound statue was unveiled on April
9, 1966 on the third anniversary of the date on which Sir Winston was
granted honorary U.S. citizenship. (photographed by Peter Garfield,

WASHINGTON PROJECT FOR THE ARTS

I
f you have not recently been to the
WPA, otherwise known as the
Yo Project for the Arts,
Uwill barely recognize the place. The
building on G Street has be-
d?rne light and airy. Even the once-
nlsmal performing space on its third

g A IS upbeat with a schedule of pro-
to match its new direction. Occu-
the uncertain position between a
and a commercial art gallery,
lh project addresses itself not only to
. e needs of "disenfranchised" Wash-
Ington .
o artists, the emerging talent in
.community, but to nationally rec-
irnnl2ed artists whose work is too exper-
ci to meet the criteria of commer-

town Washington-the visual arts are
served as well as the performing arts.
During the upcoming season the
WPA's grand performing space will be
enlivened by dancers, poets and theater
groups every weekend.
Judging by its stunning experimental
exhibition of sculptures "Stacking/
Rigging/Binding," curated by the
Hirshhorn's gifted Howard Fox this
summer, the quality as well as the risks
involved should be anything but rou-
tine. Fox's selection of ten contempo-
rary artists who set out to explore the
limits of their humble materials (mostly
wood) by straining them to the break-
ing point, suggested intriguing esthetic
perspectives. Given the properties of
impermanence, like Ed Mayer's phan-
tasmal labyrinth of stacked wood lath
or Thomas Watcke's environment of
precariously structured two-by-fours,
the ambiguous constructivist vocabu-
lary, probing the relationship between
time and space, mass and gravity, force
and constraint, took on-not unlike the
leaning Tower of Pisa-unexpected,
disquieting emotional overtones.
Top-notch guest curators playa vital
part in the WPA's programming. Wal-
ter Hopps, the California wunderkind
of the arts, who brought glory and
havoc in equal measure to the Corcoran
and the National Collection of Fine
Arts, is organizing an exhibition of im-
agist sculpture. Mary Swift, current
chairman of the board of directors, and
stripe painter Gene Davis, are talents
who joined in April. Along with a show
of the work of "Young Washington
Artists," visitors will be treated to
photography from Los Angeles and
Texas.
Al Nodal tries to strike a balance be-
tween showcasing home-grown talent,
which accounts for 60 percent of the
programming, and the works of artists
from other places. By bringing the
"vital flux of the avant garde into a city
like Washington" Nodal hopes to keep
the promising younger artists from
moving to New York.
The open studio which enables the
public to visit the studios of local ar-
tists, will be repeated. The WPA pro-
vides maps. Last winter 23 artists par-
ticipated in this successful outreach
program aimed at a public not in the
habit of going to galleries and mu-
seums. Once more, art site projects and
large-scale environmental outdoor
sculptures, will playa prominent part.

The three most important guidelines in considering property, whether it
be a home or a business office are location, location, location. In selecting
a site for our ninth and newest office at 4801 Massachusetts Avenue in
Spring Valley, we utilized the same careful planning and expertise with which
we've been guiding clients and customers for over four decades. Our sales
associates have been involved in helping families buy and sell homes in this
lovely and prestigious area for many years-now we're making it a little more
convenient for everyone.
Bud Holmquist, who is the manager of our Potomac office, and who has
been instrumental in developing that office into one of the most successful
in the County, has been selected to manage our newest office in D.C.
In a company that is growing as rapidly as ours is, there is always the need
for additional sales associates to complement our staff of experienced
Professionals. We offer the finest training, outstanding company support
programs, and an excellent source of referrals through our New Homes
Division and nationally active Relocation Dept.
If you have been considering a career in this challenging and exciting
industry, or if you are a licensed agent contemplating a change and you are
a person of high integrity and character, we invite you to call for aconfidential
interview. If you are interested in our new Washington,
D.C. office, call Bud Holmquist at 299-2000 today. -- . , ~

Housing and Urban Development.
If finally after five years of existence,
the WPA has shed its last vestiges of ar-
tiness and gained a professional profile
as an important showplace for the arts
in the nation's capital, it is thanks to the
enormous artistic energies and manag-
erial skills of its director and his crew of
six who do not mind working extra
hours. In contrast to the ego-trippers
who drift in and out of the art scene
these days, anxiously guarding their
territory, Nodal, who holds an M.A. in
museum studies from San Francisco
State, is a true believer in openness and
the democratic approach to the arts.
"I like to get more people involved
with our projects. You may lose some
power, but in terms of input everybody
gains," he comments.
By training and temperament an ar-
tist, a sculptor and a photographer, the
Cuban-born Nodal, who landed in
Florida at the age of seven, is
thoroughly conscious of the artists'
concerns. At the same time Nodal un-
derstands that moral and financial sup-
port for a project of this scope has to be
developed by "working at the grass
roots. "
His philosophy has paid off. First of
all, the place, left shoddy by well-
intentioned dilettantes in the mistaken
idea that chaotic, anti-establishment
chic somehow translates into creativity,
got a thorough overhaul. Secondly, he

heist. The setting is the
uPl town of Conques in the spiny
ands of L d .
of th angue oc. The centerpiece
e treasure in the great abbey
church at Conques is a superb gold-
encrusted statue of a local martyr. An
American art historian suffering from
loss of tenure falls in with a gang of
political terrorists who want the statue
for murky reasons of their own. Add an
enchanting girl guide in the abbey,
season with the aphoristic chief of the
local gendarmes, stir with a brooding
sense of time in abeyance and human
nature on the lam and serve spicy hot.
The gang steals the statue, but the
French police chief steals the show.
A Coat of Varnish by C. P. Snow
(Scribners, $10.95). The late Lord
Snow dubbed it the Establishment, and
himself walked many of its Corridors
of Power. So when he writes of the
glossy world of British high society and
politics as he does in this last novel, he
brings credentials incomparable. A
dowager who in her day had been an
Edwardian enchantress is killed in her
Belgravia town house and the suspects,
all absolutely top drawer, are many.
Snow builds his effects slowly but with
great skill. There is a twist in the tail of
the plot that is as clever as anything he
ever did.
Whip Hand by Dick Francis (Harper
& Row, $9.95). Sid Halley is an ex-
jockey with a bionic hand. It will come
as no surprise to Dick Franci fan that
he is in deep trouble in hi new vocation
as private eye to people in the racing
world. At one point he escapes an
assortment of thugs by hitching a ride
in a balloon on a cross-country race.
The pilot is a man as addicted to danger
as Sid himself. Like the careening
balloon, the story swoops over well-
observed valleys of the human condi-
tion. The speed with which Francis
creates character-especially in the case
of the charming ex-wife of the ex-
jockey-makes other novelists seem
slow on the draw.
Oh, yes, if you can, beg, borrow,
steal or buy a copy of the old Signet
paperback of an early John Le Carre,

WASHINGTON WINE CELLARS

ine cellars in Washington are
not usually blessed with the
cold damp atmosphere of
cellars in France where the dust and
rnold-Iaden aged bottles almost makes
them seem more special. But there are
lllany individuals here who attach the
importance to a good bottle of
WIne. The cellars in Washington can
range from a specially built refrigerated
room with cubicles solidly designed to
h?ld aging liquid wonders to a closet
nIche under the stairs. But the same
love of fine wine prevails and colors the
oWner's life.
This has been going on for quite
some time here. Thomas Jefferson had
a great cellar at Monticello and loved
the Champagnes and great Burgundies.

His wine cellar is in a closet in the
basement-not specially cooled, but
stable and accessible. He enjoys serving
the American Schramsberg Champagne
for special festivities. To Drum, good
wine means the pleasure of sharing with
friends. "It also preserves a way of
eating and drinking which is perhaps
disappearing." Fine wines enhance
special occasions, and they are meant to
be enjoyed. Other favorite Burgundies
include Meursault and Chassagne
Montrachet. Drum is also looking at
Italian wines and Yugoslavian wines
for daily drinking and is very enthu-
siastic about California wines.
Drum suggests that the wine enthu-
siast save and store special bottles for as
long as possible in the optimum condi-
tions of little vibration and darkness.
"Everything is usually drunk too
young," he says and suggests one try
less expensive choices. "But I'll buy
Burgundies as long as I can afford
them," he adds.
To an Italian, food and wine are as
natural as the sun. Guilio Cantoni grew
up in Milan, but has made his home in
Bethesda for many years. As an expert
at NIH he undoubtedly knows the
healthful aspects of wine, and he has
collected 1,500-2,000 bottles in his
cellar. He keeps his wines horizontally
in clay canisters not specially cooled.
He has been collecting since 1954 and
has never lost a bottle. Guilio is a lover

started collecting in bulk ten years ago
and has built a marvelous, auto-cooled
wine cellar in his basement in George-
town, filled with favorites like 1945
Mouton Rothschild, 1947 Cheval
Blanc, and Chateau Petrus 1975.
"Wine is an interesting reflection of
my life. It grows, changes, and hopeful-
ly matures. And you can look at it in an
analytical way-you taste it as it
changes," he says.
Stanley's favorite region is the St.
Julien in Bordeaux. He realizes a per-
son just collecting now has high prices
against him for the really exceptional
bottles-he himself feels he started ten
years too late.
Stanley advises the wine buff to buy
wines that are drinkable and try vertical
tastings ("a '64 and a '70 in the same
vintage"). It is essential to record one's
experiences in the wine and food
choices after sampling. Wine books
and helpful wine purveyors abound for
more assistance. The Perls are collec-
ting Italian wines now, for high quality
and low prices.
People knowledgeable in wine are
quick to discover favorites that they
share with friends. Minister Pierre Col-
mant, the commercial counselor at the
French Embassy, has a great love of
Chateau Talbot-as old as he can get it.
He'll serve it at home for dinners with
Moet et Chandon Champagne for aper-
itifs, and often order Talbot when he is
entertaining guests in restaurants. Jac-
ques de Larosiere, head of the Interna-
tional Monetary Fund, enjoys serving
Chateau Beycheville 1964 at his dinner
parties; he acquired it and others during
his current post.
Experts in town are ready to assist
you with the special bottles for cellar.
The president of Les Amis du Vin, Ron
Fonte, notes that Rhone wines, like
Chateau Neuf du Pape and Cote Rotie,
and Spanish Reservas, are reasonable
now and of high quality. German wines
have escalated 80 percent since 1970, 71
percent due to inflation. But the 1975
and 76 German wines are excellent and
better buys for quality than later vin-
tages.
For real cellaring, the French
Bordeaux and Italian Barolos are the
longest "livers." The 1977 Vintage
Port will be a bottle of the century to
layaway. Buy a selection of red and
white California and French petite
chateaux to lay down for a few years.
Almost any bottle, even jug wines,
benefits from aging.
Many wine purveyors will suggest
special wines to hold and layaway.

Pres rving the Status Symbol
By Kathleen Burns
Aging fur coats that have been hiber-
nating in dark, dank clo ets are now be-
ing rejuvenated into more contempo-
rary styles, thanks to orne innovative
furriers.
Unlike a passe suit or dress that may
be handed down or given to Goodwill,
you don't tend to give away a fur even
if it's outdated. Instead, it is relegated
to a closet or cold storage vault, where
it hangs in isolation, season after sea-
son, while the owner fantasizes that
someday that style will return.
A check with a few of the furriers in
town elicited some useful tips on what
to do if you're down to your last fur
and want to update it.
Garfinckel's 628-7730
Shifting hemlines have rendered
some coats useless. Various jacket
lengths, collars and sleeves that are no
longer popular, notes Bob McGrath, fur
department manager for Garfinckel's.
To salvage furs that still have some
wearability, Garfinckel's is designing
jackets using leather, suede and ultra-
suede as well as knitted fabrics for
sleeves, collars and coat fronts. Such
renovations run from $700 to $2,000,
depending on how many usable pelts
were in the older coat.
McGrath said the response to an ad
the company ran last spring was "phe-
nomenal!" People came to the store
clutching the flyer and their old capes
and stoles. McGrath cautions that
restyling isn't always the answer since.
high labor costs may not justify
renovating too old a fur. But the com-
pany thus far this season has done more
general restyling than they have since
Garfinckel's opened its fur studios.
"We've got quite a reputation in this
area for doing miracles and we do lots
of them," he said.
I. Magnin 468-2900
At I. Magnin, fur manager Stephen
Sanders says the store supports remod-
eling and recycling furs, but only if the
finished product warrant the invest-
ment. Sanders said they prefer to work
with furs such as minks that are no
more than seven years old.
Their forte is repairs instead of
remodeling, and they have no charge
for the service. They also boast of their
returns policy.
"We take back anything. We want
our customer to be happy," Sanders
said.
To enhance the aura of love at first
sight, I. Magnin's has skylights for
natural light on furs, serves cocktails to
customers and favors a casual Califor-

naches and P and though
erner and Les Cars are
de rigueur in racier parts of town, it
cannot be said even by the most ardent
Francophile that this town has been in-
fluenced-save, of course, for having
been designed and planned-by the
French.
But the British-now there's a group
who helped turn what might just have
been a sleepy southern town into one of
the more gracious of the world's pur-
pose-built capitals. Compare Washing-
ton with, say, Canberra or Brasilia,
Islamabad or whatever new town is be-
ing built to take over Juneau in Alaska.
All of those places are, or soon will
be, no doubt, sterile creations of some
pompous architects, places that satisfy
no one except for those who have to
draw maps of the place. But Wash-
ington, as well as being a cartographer's
paradise, is also a decent, softly round-
ed sort of city in which to live. To some
small extent I am certain even the most
keenly nationalistic of you will agree
that has something to do with the pres-
ence here, in fairly large numbers, of
the British.
The French and the post-Depression
architects of your own country made
Washington a city of monuments, of
course. We helped add the human
touches-the gardens and the rows of
townhouses and the Tudor mansions in
the suburbs, the solid-looking clubs
and the parks and the churches. The
Washington Cathedral-does it remind
one of Chartres, or the Jama Masjid in
Old Delhi? No-its design comes
straight from Exeter or Ely or Wells.
Though it may well be graniteers from
Vermont who sculpt the stones and
fashion the gargoyles, the building's
grand design says, discreetly, "I am
British and I will set my mark upon the
city I overlook."
That is what I mean when I suggest
that Britain has done much to soften
the cityscape of Washington: that ideas
from the old country, models from the
Cotswolds and the Weald and the fringes
of Dartmoor have all come and settled
down in the capital, making us some-
what homesick, if truth be known. This
i an English city before anything else,
an island of Engli hmen et in an
American sea.
But who are the twelve thousand of
us who survive here, and what do we all
do-save from making shop assistants
laugh themselves silly at what they call
our "cute little accents?"
Well, as far as the State Department
knows, we do just about everything you
all do, except that a very large number
of us-almost the largest single bloc-
are members of the Corps of Diplo-
mats. If anyone were to suggest the
Briti h here like pecking orders as much
as they do back in England-where, as
they say, everyone from a duke to a
dustman knows his precise position in
Society-then we would have to admit
that the Diplomats come top of the pile
and are permitted first peck every time.
There IS much interest in the charac-
ter of the British Ambassador Extraor-
dinary and Plenipotentiary who is sent
here by the reigning Monarch to convey
her Ministers' messages to her friend
in the Government of our Former Col-
ony. When I arrived here eight year
ago we had Lord romer-a rich and
dignified man who knew a lot about
horses and banking and precious little
else-at the helm of the great flag hip
British Emba y a he urged and

His predecessor had gone off with the
wife of the BBC corre pondent or vice-
versa: it wa a delicious scandal which
Lady Cromer attempted to outdo by
going on the radio and sugge ting that
the life of an Asian (it was during a
discussion of the Vietnam war, as I
recall) was, on average, worth very little
indeed. That cau ed a mighty flap.

The romer were ucceeded by the

bu ied them elve in offering large din-
ner to anyone who had any influence
in permitting the oncorde jet to land
out at Dulle Airport. He clearly did hi

allowed in. The Ram botham were

of their desks to another. But they're a
nice lot, and they decorate Chevy Chase
parties with their uncommon wit and
their interesting dental work. They are
much in demand, from the lowliest
Third Secretary in the passport office to
the Minister himself in his great man-
sion (sort of Tudoresque, the kind of
thing King Henry might have built had
he settled on Foxhall Road). You'll find
Britons propping up aspidistras and ex-
pressing quiet distaste at the tempera-
ture of the sherry from Middleburg to
St. Mary's City and all places in between.
But we are more than mere diplomats.
There is, of course, the distinguished
corps d'elite of the Washington journal-
ists, men (I'd like to say there were
women, but there aren't any just now)
who have been given by their papers
and magazines the nicest jobs going in
British journalism: the American beat.
There once was a time a decade or so
ago when the British journalistic pack
was the largest foreign contingent in
town. Sad to say, we're now number
two to the Japanese. The British are
down to no more than forty strong
these days, and when we take tea with
the Ambassador every couple of mon-
ths, we scarcely fill his drawing room.
The Ambassador's little soirees are, in
fact, about the only time we see each
other en masse-the old bonds of siege
mentality that kept us together have all
but vanished with the years. Our editors
like to suggest we meet as many
Americans as possible rather than stick-
ing to each other for security in this
strange foreign land, so we tend to
cultivate the natives and have found, to
our delight, they are quite as friendly
and as harmless as we had read.
Then there are the other Brits-mili-
tary people, naval types at the bases
around here, army chaps out proving
tanks over at Aberdeen and Air Force
johnnies out at Dulles. There's a weekly
plane which the RAF flies into Dul-
les-it happens to land in England at a
village not ten miles from my home. A
pang of homesickness courses through
me when I see the Dulles departures
board on a Saturday afternoon show-
ing flights to London.
The "bankies," as the World Bank
employees are derisively termed, tend
to include a lot of Brits-but once
again, for some curious reason, there's
no great social interchange between
them and the diplomatic and journalis-
tic community, which tends to move in
lockstep for most of the tour here.
Those I've known have this infuriating
habit of taking themselves terribly seri-
ously-not a British trait at all, oh,
no-and leaving for protracted Study
Tours of remote places in Deepest Af-
rica, looking at textiles, or the effects of
strange seven-legged bees on the local
corn crop. Then they write huge Re-

Dossier/October 1980/35
President of the United State.
While Henry Ki singer' State De-
partment routinely ignored career dip-
lomats, Kissinger did not ignore Anne
Arm trong because he wa a power in
the Republican party and becau e he
liked her.
Anne Armstrong's time in London
was made even better by her hu band
Tobin's love of the country and his
volunteer assignment with the U.S.
Department of Agriculture helping to
promote the export of American agri-
cultural products to Europe.
II At Grosvenor Square I was the Am-
bassador, but at Winfield House,
Tobin was always the host," she says.
It was also a fairytale time because
Anne Armstrong's Ambassadorship
began during the Bicentennial year,
events of which she had been instru-
mental in planning as White House ad-
visor under Presidents Nixon and Ford.
She accompanied the Queen and Prince
Philip to this country for the Bicenten-
nial celebration. Prince Charles visited
the 50,OOO-acre Armstrong ranch and
helped herd their Santa Gertrudis cat-
tle. The Armstrongs were houseguests
of the Royal Family on everal occa-
sions.
Once, Anne Armstrong wore her
handsomely-tooled Texas boots under
a long dinner dress and the British loved
it. One-time Minister to Washington
Michael Stewart, now an official with
(Continued on Page 52)
She adds, "For one thing, being a
woman was no problem. The British
have a tradition of women in meaning-
ful roles-Queens, Members of Parlia-
ment, famous writers-so I didn't have
to spend a lot of time proving myself. I
could get right to work."
"The things I liked most about the
British? Their kindnesses, their wit and
their magnificent use of the language."
Armstrong made her first visit to
England as a 1949 Vassar graduate, ma-
joring in English and literature. At the
time, she was headed for a career in
journalism.
In 1976 she made points by being the
first Ambassador to visit Ulster to
observe firsthand the problems among
the British, Protestant and Catholic
partisans there.
When she was three months into the
job, the Washington Post's man in
London, Bernard Nossiter, wrote that
she was proving herself "through in-
telligence and hard work." She had had
to work hard, he noted, at overcoming
a stereotyped view in Britain of right-
wing Texans. The British press had pic-
tured her monolithically-and mistak-
enly-as sympathetic to the Reagan
wing of the Republican Party, and not
as the pragmatic politician and diplomat
she turned out to be. A measure of her
success was the favorable impression
she made on John Grigg of the Weekly
Spectator who wanted her promoted
and nominated as the first woman

Exploration Pays Off
While your dreams are important,
Elizabeth Cadell of Crossroads Realty,
Ltd., stresses that good quality housing
is a prime motive for moving up. Be like
every good scout exploring the unfamil-
iar: prepared. Be prepared to pay for
location, to pay the difference between
existing homes and new. Because of
their locations, Washington's existing
home prices often outstrip new home
prices by 150/0 to 20%. That's a greater
difference than for any other city in the
nation, points out Dr. Michael
Sumichrast, vice president and chief
economist for the National Association
of Home Builders.
If you live in the metro area, you can
take your time looking for the perfect
match up for your move up. As with the
Courtier, the savoring of the selections
available makes the final choice that
much sweeter. If you look long enough
and hard enough, you'll find what you
like.
Start exploring by turning the pages
of Washington Dossier and the week-
end section of the local papers. Take a
Downtown, uptown or out of town:
move up your lifestyle. Improve your
tax picture. Plot your next move now to
a better place to live.
Washington is a pot-pourri of good
housing, homestyles and neighbor-
hoods. Choices range from Potomac to
McLean, Annapolis to Winchester,
from Capitol Hill to Kalorama, from
Georgetown to Alexandria. Your home
can be a riverfront condo or a country
estate, a simple rowhouse, a penthouse
co-op or a duplex apartment (own
both, rent one).
A home is like a person, unique in
form and function with a personality all
its own. Finding the right home is like
finding the right mate.
Planning a Dream Home
William Crowell of Crowell and
Baker Builders says your next home
should be the house of your dreams, a
place to indulge your fantasies, Disney-
land with your name on the mailbox.
Put together your dreamsheet (along
with your ledger sheet) to find what you
want. Unless you're new in town,
you've been making mental notes of
your likes and dislikes as you travel in
the better neighborhoods of the metro
area. During each visit with friends or
colleagues, at each formal or informal
social affair, you've been making
observations. Jot them down. Pull
them together.
Larry Silverman, president of Lewis
and Silverman Realtors, says lifestyle is
placed at the top of most home hunters'
lists. But what physical requirements
must your next home have to accom-
modate your desires?
Go through your list: Bedrooms-
with or without adjoining baths, nurs-
ery, sitting areas, fireplace; the num-
ber, the size, their relation to each other
and to the other living areas. Baths-
shower stall and tub (for how many),
lights, mirrors, lavatories, commodes,
bidet, linen closet. Kitchen-are you a
gourmet cook, or do you dine out most-
ly? Are your at-home functions ca-
tered, or do you do it yourself?

l
ing" to suit your need. How much you
pay for moving up i up to you. Home-
style, life tyle and Uncle Sam' tax
turnstile all enter the decision.
Creative Financing
Many buyers arrange their own
financing. Bu iness associates at av-
ings and loan institutions, commercial
banks and mortgage loan companie
are often the first source. In urance
companies, independent investor, a
business firm or the seller may bankroll
the purchase.
In today's market, down payment re-
quirements usually range from about
25070 to 33 % or more, depending on the
size of the mortgage principal and the
buyer's qualifications, says Larry
Silverman.
Your tax man will advise you
whether to seek a high or low loan-to-
value mortgage. You may want a de-
ferred-interest loan or one with a de-
ferred principal, depending on money
market conditions or your personal in-
come picture. Fixed-rate or variable-
rate or renewable-rate loans may be to
your advantage depending on how long
you plan to stay in your next home.
Steve Willmann of Crowell and
Baker reminds us again about tax
shelter: "Whatever you put into your
home and lot goes on the mortgage."
Rollover loans, usually with five-
year options for renewing at a higher
interest rate or extending the maturity
(up to 40 years), may fit your inve t-
ment plan better. Short term mortgages
(five to ten years) with a balloon pay-
ment at maturity may be attractive,
too. An equity-participation loan
might even be constructed, depending
on the appreciation factor of your new
home investment (up to 20% annually
or more) and the inclination of the
lender.
Combination of the above can tailor
the financing to your personal needs.
Minimum risk to the lender is the key.
Put your assets, ingenuity, contacts and
negotiating prowess to work for you.

"Really, Mrs. Harrington. He's one
of our best men." There was the
slightest note of hesitation in his voice.
"How long has he been with you?"
she asked with the same air of inno-
cence she had used on the person in the
Senator's office.
"Three months," the caterer re-
sponded, adding quickly, "But he had
the best references."
"Three months!" He could hardly
mistake her deliberately accusatory
tone.
"You're not suggesting . . .," the
caterer began.
"I'm not suggesting anything," she
interrupted. "I know only that the vase
is missing."
"Perhaps one of your guests took
it," the caterer said, obviously
challenged. Then, after a pause: "By
mistake. Perhaps there were flowers in
it and someone asked that they take the
flowers ..."
"There were no flowers in it," Mar-
garet snapped.
"Well, I'm sure my man did not take
it," the caterer replied finally, on the
edge of exasperation.
"I'd suggest you probe him diligent
ly," she snapped, hanging up, too
angry to continue. She noted that her
fingers shook and a little sob had bub-
bled out of her throat.
"I know he took it," she told Joe
later. "I saw the way he looked at it."
"But you can't accuse the man. Not
without proof."
"How can I get proof?"
The caterer called late that evening.
"He swears to me he didn't take it."
"And you believe him?" she asked.
"What else can I do?"
She had let her silence be explicit.
The man should be fired, she decided,
but she wouldn't dare suggest it.
"I don't know what I can do," the
caterer said helplessly.
"Do whatever you think best," she
said haughtily, hating her own nasti-
ness. He had been waiting for her to say
that perhaps she had been mistaken.
She didn't give him that satisfaction.
"The final debacle," she told Joe
when she hung up.
"Well, they could have gotten food
poisoning," Joe had said, offering her
the placation of his black humor. She
hadn't laughed.
"Maybe it was Emma Shires," she
said at breakfast the next morning.
"She was bombed. People do that
sometimes. "
"Don't be silly."
By then, she had begun to feel guilty

about her accusation.
"Stop dwelling on it," Joe said. "It
was only a vase. And it's probably on
our insurance list."
"They never pay you for the senti-
ment."
Joe had shrugged and the matter was
pushed aside by time. She had never
called the caterer again and she dared
not speculate if the man had been fired.
Now, in the library, she reached out,
touched the cool surface, let her fingers
caress the glaze, dead certain that this
was her vase, the sentinel among the
family images. Her eyes blurred with
tears of regret or anger or impotence.
She felt beyond assessment, blindly
outraged, urging herself to remain
calm. What she really wanted was to
scream out, to run downstairs and push
through the crowds, confronting Kath-
erine Laughton. Let them all bear
witness. "J'accuse!" She heard the
words rumble in her head, the crackling
thunder of indignation.
The flush of water in the little black
100 recalled her sense of place and she
slipped into a corner near the book-
shelves out of view until she heard
footsteps recede and proceed down-
ward to the din.
Turning again, she observed the
vase, so carefully placed to accent the
room, yet, forlorn, trapped in this
strange prison. A sense of cunning
smoldered, burst into flame, and she
noted that her pocketbook was far too
small to smuggle it out. In fact, there
seemed no logical method to spirit it
out surreptitiously to its rightful home.
She could, of course, simply pick it up,
flowers and all, or dump the flowers,
and walk it blithely through the crowds,
carrying it proudly, pugnaciously, like
a kidnapped child, back to its aggrieved
and natural parents.
Again, she felt the blood pumping in
her temples, a shortness of breath, a
welling of outrage, more tangible than
she had ever experienced before. Yet
cunning did not desert her. She closed
the door to the library, then moving
toward the vase, lifted it as one moved a
newborn child. Her lips brushed its cool
surface, and gently she laid the vase on
the floor. The water spilled out, damp-
ening the carpeting, and she put the
weight of her shoe sole on its neck and
pressed hard, hearing the shocking
crunch as the vase's neck shattered.
Then she quietly reopened the door and
proceeded into the little black 100.
It was only then that she could
find the courage to smile through her
tears. 0
