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 Dicker-
son 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. Photograph by Fred Ward/Black Star.

many of Washington's most successful builders and
thousands of families. Today we sell more new homes
than any other Real Estate company east of California. Our
research department alone is bigger now than our whole com-
pany used to be. We've built a resale division wit h the capabili ty
to do everything it takes to sell a house: caJI in plumbers. or painters.

POL POOPa Word is that Carter call-
ed Nixon at San Helena to report on
the conclusion of the SALT negotia-
tions. The conversation apparently
was spiked with philosophical reflec-
tions on the thanklessness of the job
and copious "I told you sos" ... This
doesn't seem to stop the crowd at the
White House admission window.
Watch for more drop-outs on the
elephant side. And don't write off
Carter. Aides are already dusting off
the Truman strategy of 1948 - run
against Congress; show true grit as an
underdog. Nagging concern is what
happens if Lance cops out. .. As for
Kennedy, the question is when will the
Carter people force the opening of that
one-copy collector's item that has been
in compilation for years.
PIIPLINOa Plucky political Lynda
Robb said to be shaky over her new
job, but willing to tough it out for the

try to make John Dean a
swinger ... Ardeshir Zahedi still at it.
He met the Bob Hopes in the elevator
of the Waldorf Towers recently and
promptly sent up three dozen roses.
Penni Alison, who for two years
bravely battled back troubles and pain,
is off to Florence for the summer to
restoke the spirit. .. Popular Italian
diplomat Antonio Provenzano and
pretty wife Michele now ensconced in
Roma where they've taken a flat near
Cucci's house ... Susan Goldwater busy
denying she and new spouse Marvin
Warner will take to political hustings
after he steps down as ambassador to
Switzerland ... Peter Malatesta has
dropped the fork for the pen. He's do-
ing a piece for United Features and is
about to sign with a publisher for his
memoirs ... Bett y Ford' s book
bombed ... Ditto Jerry's .. . Ki.tty Kelley
and husband Mike Edgley bought a
plush Georgetown pad with Jackie 0
proceeds.
Japanese Prime Minister Ohira took
a weiJ earned snooze during White
House entertainment on his recent
visit ... No one shocked at speed at
which Peter Jay was chucked ... Once
again Congress trying to tear the guts
out of the Endowment for the Arts.
Not all our national culture is on the

Couples on
Quibbles
By MYRA MENSH PATNER
The toothpaste tube and the squeezing
of same have become a symbol of con-
nubial 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 other-
wise perfect partners.
Although many a marriage has gone
down the tubes as a result of said con-
undrum, many a well-known couple
has turned the solution of this pasty
problem into the very fixative of
lasting romance.
DOD
"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 in-
side 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, leav-
ing 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 hus-
band 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 pil-
ed 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 voi ce 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
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 sup-
posed to keep them?" she inquired in-
nocently.
Writer Kandy Stroud neatly solved
the problem she and husband Frank
had over who gets to read the morning
paper first by ordering two subscrip-
tions. 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, cajol-
ed, all to no avail," laments this
popular pediatrician.
Effi Barry discovered that her hus-
band Mayor Marion Barry's hundreds
of scraps of paper, matchbook covers,
napkins and cards containing
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 hus-
band 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 dif-
ferent solut 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 relin-
quished this task to her spouse, who
has done it ever si nce. 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 frustra-
tion 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<tsh-
ington says, ''We're starting to
live like normal people again and it is
delightful. "
Patrick Hayes, Washington im-
presario, admits that in almost forty
years of an otherwise blissful marriage,
there has been the recurring nuisance
of finding his half-fi lled 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 thirty-
seven years has thrived in spite of dif-
ferences 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 wed-
ins. Couples spoke vows on a moun-
tain 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 nonsen-
sical nuptials is the return of the traru-
tional 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 cir-
cle? Why, in the face of the stagger-
ing divorce rate, do men and women
continue to enter the institution of
marriage?
The deliriously happy Page Lee Huf-
ty, 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 Ric-
cardo Agosta at Georgetown Universi-
ty's Dahlgren Chapel in April. many
journalists reported the wedding on the
business and finance pages. The wed-
ding merged two of Italy's most pros-
perous companies, but the couple ap-
parently had their own reasons for the
pomp and ceremony. "Meeting each
other was so meaningful," explains
Roberto, hairdresser to the happy cou-
ple and the contessa-studdcd wedding
party. "They live in a world of scandal,
where there are no values. Their wed-
ding was an intellectual symbol of
tradition and purity."
The symbols of the traditional wed-
ding 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:

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' wed-
dings-women who still want to get
married in a wedding dress, but not a
traditional wedding dress. Ivory is ap-
propriate 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 sum-
mer.
THI IDIOROOMa The well-
groomed 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 cummer-
bund, 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, wing-
collared shirt and white bow tie.
THI RINOa A ring symbolizes union.
Jeweler Edward Ayre Jr. says women
are still dazzled by diamond engage-
ment 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 mar-
riage on the right foot shop together
for that major investment, the engage-
ment ring. As for wedding bands, he
adds, the plain gold style has never
knuckled under to any trendy com-
petitor.
THI WIDDINO PAJITYa No self-
respecting bride would march down
the aisle without sending ahead of her a
flotilla of bridesmaids, clad in colors
such as pumpkin orange or holly berry
red. For every bridesmaid, there is an
'18/JUNE 1979/DOSSIER
usher, who should be, but is not
always, a few inches taller.
The maid/matron of honor and the
best man, traditional tokens, have suc-
cumbed 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 par-
ties are the ring bearer and flower girl,
two positions that seem to go in and
out of popularity, depending on socie-
ty's current attitude toward children.
MU.ICa Nothing can be more discor-
dant on a wedding day than non-
traditional 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, 'Sherry,' 'Can-
dy, 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 recom-
mends 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 wed-
dings are awash with white flowers,
but the colors mauve and purple (em-
bodied 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. Gone are bridesmaids toting
flower-filled baskets or hiding perspir-

for lhe couple's first anniversary.
"Some people have asked for
cheesecake or ice cream wedding
cakes," reports Bruce Ellis of
Ridgewell 's, "but a wedding cake has
to be practical. It must be made and
transported. "
THI RICIPTION& Traditional wed-
dings pay off traditional guests (who
give traditional gifts) with a traditionaJ
1
reception.
Every reception also needs a band
leader, that musical tyrant who directs
not only his musicians but often an en-
tire mob of dancing and disparate
guests. Only he can say with asser-
tiveness, "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 in-
structs 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" out-
fits. 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 of-
ficially 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 Satur-
days and Sundays.
But some holdouts are firm. "Mar-
riage 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 KEMP LEY
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 occa-
sion, and spit it out just in time to im-
press the impressionable. He is the can-
can king, the showman who trips light-
ly over the local social stage, high-
kicking and name-dropping his way
from glittery cause to glittery cause.
But who is Steve Martindale
anyway? And how come he can can-
can? 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 Ad-
dington 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 im-
palpable. " I know I'm a bad
interview," he says to explain the lack
of chemistry, the failed communica-
tion.
"I've become cautious," he adds, ex-
plaining 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. Ad-
ministrations may come and go, but
Steve is here to stay. Like a good politi-
cian, 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 state-
ment credibility.) His all-encompassing
soul and flexibility let him fill aU needs,
make rum the perfect host.
DOD
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 Martin-
dale.
''Marvella's (Bayh) funeral is tomor-
row," he continues. "It would be so
depressing if it rained. l called up as
soon as I heard 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 bar-
rier and using names to describe Steve,
his character evolves.

24/JUNE 1979/DOSSIEA
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 pig-
gybacking 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 contribu-
tion to charity. Now people take my
phone calls seriously and if I'm ar-
ticulate 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 perform-
ing arts center earn upwards of
$190,000 on each occasion. "He does
not serve in name only," she says, ad-
ding 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. Cer-
tainly 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.

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 Tram-
mell, Rand, Nathan and Lincoln.

ic a new generation voice nreu analyzer that
!lawlessly pinponts 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 old-
fashioned polygraph It doesn ' tneed wires con-
nectmg 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 prac-
tjce at least some deception. Unleu you're a

you're getting a stra1ght answer when you ask;
Is this your lowest price ... your

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 let-
ting 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 AMAZINGLY SIMPLEI
Uke many technological d1scovenes, voce
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 sub-
ject'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 con-
sidering the state of modern electronic tech
nology.
BUSINESSMEN BECOME MIND READERS
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 af-
fordable. 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 whle no evi-

Truth Machine to evaluate the candor of Rich-

You may be surprised I
EASY TO OPERA TEl
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 voice with the
Truth Machine's sensitive, builtin microphone.
Or use the special sensor t hat connects it to

The former assistant to Sen. Charles
Goodell and ex-vice president of a
public relations firm is now the at-
torney about town. Clients include
Perrier Water, AIJjson LaLand, Emily
Malino, Margaret Trudeau, Liz
Carpenter, the Beach Boys' record
company and recent Martindale con-
vert Dan Moldea.
' 'If it weren't for Steve, four years of
my life would have been dow11 the
drain," says Moldea si ncerel y. "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, in-
troduced 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 and delivered
in ten minutes. That Steve's an amaz-
ing 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 abi lity 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 Ken-
nedy 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 syndica-
tion 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 which Margaret
Trudeau described as "like a family,
not a factory. "

Steve Martindale Is one of three Washing
tonians who are members of the board of
Save the Children. Here, he attends a re
cent benefit for the group with Oatsle
Charles (left), MarJorie Benton, board
who serves as some sort of synapse be-
tween 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 din-
ner 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 par-
ties 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 moral isms," but rather
chairman, and Sarah Weddington (right),
assistant to the President. Scooter Miller,
who arranged the affair, said Steve was a
big help. "It was marvelous to work with
him. He follows through. "
that he has turned to new primary in-
terests-business, poUtics and philan-
thropy- not necessariJy in that order.

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 rattl-
ed off a long list of planned good
Works, including the benefit for the
Stehlin Foundation for cancer research
in memory of Wal ter Hodges that Nan-
cy 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. '

(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
twentyflfth anniversary
this year. Accordlno to a
committee spokeswoman,
ball proceeds, which
benefit the gallery, were
about $80,000. (At right)
Couples donned crazy
pi nk caps, courtesy of
band l eader Lester Lanln,
and danced with wil d
abandon In the atrium;
other dancers slipped off
to the disco upstairs.
Lines
(Above) Armand Hammer (left) announced his million-doll ar-plus-grant to the
Corcoran Gallery of Art just a few days before the annual ball was held
there. Peter Menlo, gallery director, says the money will allow a free gate
for Corcoran visitors. Behi nd 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 hardworklng 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 prai sed 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).
..
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 Atrium of the Cor-
coran Gallery, scene of this year's ball
for arts patrons.
Strings of glittering lights, strung
overhead like st reamers from a May-
pole, shone down on ball chairman
Brown and her guests, Australian Am-
bassador and Mrs. Al an Renouf, 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 David
Lloyd Kreegers to their respective
tables.
The sounds of Lester Lanin's or-
chestra 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 bet-
ter 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 exhibi-
tion-"Monticelli , His Contem-
poraries, His influence."
The ball, whi ch Mrs. Brown ex-
pected 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 Ham-
mer announced his million-dollar-plus
grant to the gallery, which will allow
visits without admission.

wore bow tie, binoculars
and a needlepoint vest
made by his wife. It
took her six years to
complete the project.
(Above right) Every Imaginable accessory was carried or worn by those

BOSS TWIID
A fashion show at the Middleburg Spr-
ing Hunt? Yes, indeed! One can aJways
count on seeing the best displays of
fashion and good taste at the Mid-
dleburg races. In this case, the spec-
tators 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 pat-
ches, 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 En-
dicott "Chubb" Peabody wore a bow
tie and a needlepoint vest that took his
wife six years to sew. Both Italian Am-
bassador Paolo Pansa and lillian
Giberga carried collapsible shooting
sticks. Peter Wilson of Middleburg car-
ried 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 moun-
tain 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 provid-
ed 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 Vander-
pools, 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."

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 guests,
when confronted with the tables laden
to the groaning point with succulent
spareribs, roast beef, erudite, fresh, ex-
otic 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 Perlmut-
ter were among the first to trip the light
fantastic. The graceful couple has
never had dance lessons, "except the
merengue" when she was very, very
pregnant.
For those who were not dancers or
those who simply wished to take a
chance, there was a silent auction of ar-
ticles dona ted by Lord & Taylor. The
nine displays that were up for bids in-
cluded pleasures for 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 Rubenstein. 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 Abram-
son expected to make about $150,000
for the charity with proceeds from the
silent auction and the ball tickets. The
Abramsons were joined in the receiv-
ing line by Melvyn and Sue!Jen Estrin,
co-chairmen; Richard Crenna and his
wife, the special guests; Delores Han-
dy, Channel Five anchorwoman; and
Tom Harper.
Also attending were Bob and Gail
Siegel, she in a Halston without but-
tons or zippers; the Nat He.rsons;
Jessica Savage; Herbie and Gloria
Haft, the latter in a smashing Yves St.

Ambassador Anatoliy Dobrynin tilted
his head thoughtfully to study the glit-
tering 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 easi-
ly 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 light-
reflecting 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

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 art-
connected heavyweights, neighbors,
family and children. The number of
Washington phonies who pass them-
seJves off as art lovers on these occa-
sions was surprisingly small.
Along with RosaJynn Carter, the
ambassadors from the People's
Republic of China, Japan and Morocco
attended. So did the Livingston Bid-
dies, 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
spot. -VIOLA DRATH

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
Washi ngton. Any decor pales in com-
parison 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 atten-
tive service and reasonable wine list,
any evening could be pleasant here,
but the view alone makes it spec-
tacular! 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 ex-
cess.
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 unti l he dies a horrible
death of syphillis. Caroline falls pas-

nurse, who, sometime later, inex-
plicably 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 bet-
ween 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 forgot-
ten. 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 rela-
tionships 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 in-
cestuous relationship, the mechanics of
its fulfillment taking place in an over-
sized bed that serves as a kind of sym-
bolic sexual arena throughout the
book. Caroline sees Robert's mother
masturbating in that bed, in what must
have been intended as something ter-
ribly 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. In-
deed, 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 lit-
tle 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
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 acc1aim-
ed 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 ex-
citing, 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, cruel-
hearted 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 over-
praised 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.

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 star-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, pro-
viding, or course, it doesn't hurt her to
laugh and she is not very sick.

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 an-
thology 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 Whit-
temore, who has been poetry consul-
tant 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

named deputy assistant secretary of

and who the poets are. There are
folklorist Sterling Brown's poignant
melodies of the South; Elisavietta Rit-
chie's sharp thoughts about such
disparate subjects as fishing, politics
and love; Ann Darr's reaction to things
around us that we only wish 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 in-
teresting because. in addition to telling
us what "constitutes a poem" in this ci-
ty at this time, it is also a readable
"fragment of cultural history. " I think
the reader wiJI agree.

by Marilyn Sharp
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 kidnapp-
ing 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-seven-
year-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 sym-
pathy for Owen, even as he carries out
his horrendous and baffling assign-
ment.
This first novel, we are told, took
seven years of writing and rewriting.
There is, therefore, not quite the easy

STAGE BUSINESS
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 lawn-
sitters 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, The
Bartered Bride, all conducted by
Levine; Tosca with James Conlon;

Mignon Dunn, Gilda Cruz-Romo and

But when the peculiar flavor of Wolf
Trap takes over, be prepared. lt has
become a tradition for singers on this
open air stage to become
"i ndisposed." I suspect that a timid
tuxedoed gentleman is hired each
season just to slip between the curtains
and, gla ncing nervously from side to
side, announce which star will not be
singing. The message is always greeted
by shouting, program shredding, foot-
st omping a nd even the occasional hurl-
ing of a slightly used fried chicken leg.
011 WITB THI SHOW& This is not
the only opportunity for audience par-
ticipation, however. Daring evening
gowns and dancing slippers in the high-
priced sea ts and yell ow storm slickers,
spy-glasses and raccoon coats among
the peasantry on the lawn are no less
imaginative than picnic suppers of
shrimp in mustard sauce and chablis in
silver goblets. Every intermission, a
birthday or two is celebrated wi t h
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 re-
cent 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
vil lain 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 Madame But-
terfly. 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.

DOSSIER/JUNE 1979/51
A Guide to Presidentic
By VICKI OSTROLENK
Washington is a city every instant
celebrity, statesman, queen and inter-
national 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 con-
noisseurs. The former are proud of
their massive and varied facilities; the
latter are equally proud of their ex-
clusivity 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 manage-
ment will also send VIPs complimen-
tary champagne, wine, fruit, cheese,
Godiva chocolates and flowers.
All convention hotels offer top suites
to company presidents with conven-
tions there. Most times these suites are
used for hospitality, often resulting in
wine stains on the carpets, broken
glasses and sometimes a missing anti-
que 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 Ron-
stadt, John Lennon and George Har-
rison, to name a few.
[Suites
One of the most gorgeous suites in
town is at the Sheraton Carlton ($325),
elegant and understated with a special
sense of privacy and a staff on call
twenty-four hours a day.
The Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill
boasts another lovely suite ($400) done
in a more modern style, full of modern
and Chi nese ar t, plants with little signs
asking guests not to water them and
a nice view of the park.
The following are brief descriptions
of each suite:
SHIRATON PARKa Lobby teeming
with people. Gi lded antiques, some
