THE DOSSIER OF WASHINGTON COMMENT
Dummies:
Apparently nobody told our prominent
Washingtonians who agreed to serve
on the Inchon Premiere committee that
a Moonie front group produced the
film. The worst offender: Defense
Department officials who knew it from
the beginning and didn't lift a finger,
making us wonder if the military in-
telligence community has the com-
petence to fulfill its mission. The
military is supposed to be the defender
of our cherished values, not blatant
supporters of cult groups who tear
American families apart, brainwash
young people and generally foment
dissension between Americans. The
movie, reported to be a monumental
bore, and a glorification of Korea, now
a dubious cause at best, has some
famous stars who took the money and
ran. Punishment for the military who
helped nurture this monstrosity would
be to sit through the film until they cry
for mercy.
Peep ling:

pressec, Ron Nessen, deep into his new
novel about a television show, not

Royce and is about to take another

in bloom everywhere, especially in the
Big Apple where Barbara Howar has
found a new beau as well as sister-in-
law Nancy Howar ... It also happens in
Malibu where Lucy Johnson Nugent is
romancing . . . Not to be outdone,
Washington claims both the Aniko
Gaal and Nash W. Scott and the Lisa
Brandt and David Deckelbaum court-
ships, with Debra Munitz and Jeffrey
Linowes tying the knot this month.

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

Not Working
Whatever he was doing, he looks up
and stares past whatever there is-a lamp,
a window, trees, the shingled
garden shed-
as if he were about to think of something
that might have happened to him once,
and now
refuses to occur to him again.
He stares, then, doing absolutely nothing
for minutes, hours, or a whole afternoon,
as the lamp burns, and sunlight
on the shed
brightens and fades; the trees put out
their leaves
and let them fall, and seasons wear away
the days when what he wanted
had a name.
Henry Taylor
Henry Taylor is a Professor of Literature at the
American University, presently on leave doing a
history of Loudon County, Virginia. He is the
author of four collections of poems, including
Desperado and An Afternoon of Pocket
Billiards.
Who Is It Accuses Us?
Who is it accuses us of safety,
as if the family were soldiers
instead of hostages,
as if the gardens were not mined
with explosive peonies,
as if the most common death
were not by household accident?
We have chosen the dangerous life.
Consider the pale necks of the children
under their colored head scarves,
the skin around the husbands' eyes, flayed
with guilt and promises.
You who risk no more than your own skins
I tell you household Gods
are jealous Gods.
They will cover your window sills
with the dust of sunsets;
they will poison your secret wells
with longing.
Linda Pastan
The poem is from Linda Pastan's new book,
Waiting For My Life, published by W. W. Norton,
New York. She teaches a poetry writing workshop
at the American University and has read her work
at the Smithsonian's Barney Studio House.

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

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

spiration, a Christian missionary, a
Persian groom, the small dark-green
glazed figure of a court jester with Tar-
tar cap, the camels from far away coun-
tries and the imported horses from
Feraghan. Among the court ladies and
dancers with their elaborate head-
dresses, often with pigment on the buff
clay, an equestrian figure of gray clay
from the earlier Wei Dynasty attracts
attention. At close inspection she turns
out to be a lady in topknot carrying a
musical instrument with infinite grace.
With pride the collector points to
various silver objects with decorative
Sassanian motifs: the splendid oval-
shaped cup with its high stemmed foot
of hammered silver, chased with gilt
and embellished with scrolls and ten-
drils and wonderful birds in flight, or
the striking hexafoil covered box, gold-
decorated with an intricate leaf and
floral design, from the beginning of the
8th century.
''You know, there was a Silver Street
in Peking, a Jade and even an Embroi-

dery Street," he says. The collector
visibly enjoys touching these precious
objects. "Their early value was estab-
lished by the Arabs who controlled the
sea trade," he comments, resting his
eyes on a bronze teapot of perfect pro-
portions, elegantly decorated with gold
and lacquer-flying birds, flowers,
lotus plants and a gold phoenix, the
symbol of the Empress-applied per-
haps in niello technique. Enhanced by
an earlier design in copper by a dif-
ferent artist beneath the sumptuous
gold decor, this exquisite example of
T'ang craftsmanship is-like so many
other objects in this notable collec-
tion-a museum piece that has been ex-
hibited around the country.
However, the oldest and most extra-
ordinary items are the jades from the
Shang Dynasty (1500 - 1050 B.C.): a
support of a box in pale luminous jade
and a delicately carved fish and rabbit.

f you are a believer in the old
Spanish toast Pesos, Salud, Amor,
y el Tiempo para Gustarlos
(Money, Health, Love and Time to
Enjoy Them), you can agree with our
Washington couples' assertion that
retirement is not an end, but a begin-
ning . Both the Ditzens and the
Kellys share those precious ingre-
dients-a zest for life and pleasure in
each other's company-that keep them
coming back for more of whatever they
do best.
The former Eleanor Davies Tydings,
now Mrs. Lowell Russell Ditzen, will
easily bring up her age. She just turned
77 in April. Married to Senator Millard
Tydings in 1935 until his death in 1961,
she remained a widow for five years.
"Then the Reverend came to town"
from his New York, Westchester Coun-
ty parish, swept her off her feet and
married her in 1966. During the winter,
they reside in their elegant Calvert
Street apartment resplendent with Ori-
ental cabinets from the Imperial Palace
in Peking, a Louis XVI desk-one of
over a dozen that the King had made
for his ladies-in-waiting-and a display
case highlighting a monogrammed
cigarette case that once belonged to
Nicholas II. There is china tucked
away, a former possession of RussiaO
ruler Catherine the Great, and RussiaO
artwork throughout the apartment, ar
tifacts collected, in part, during her
father, Joseph E. Davies' tenure as
U.S. Ambassador to Russia froro
1936-38. In the summer and on soroe
winter weekends, the Ditzens travel to
"Oakington," the 400-acre DavieS
family estate since 1935, on the bankS
of Chesapeake Bay.
As his wife looked for something
misplaced, Dr. Ditzen laughed an
said, "My wife was asked what

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

Admiral retired from the Navy in 19)0,
after 33 years of service which included
a stint on the carrier "Houston," he
went to work for Mobil Oil CompanY
as the Assistant to the Chairman of the
Board and stayed for 15 Yz years. M?re
recently, he served as an
consultant to Mercedes-Benz of Nort
America and represented Max Factor
as well. Now, he continues his busine
interests and according to Mrs. KellY
remains "busy as a birddog."

n a catalog from one of Washing-
ton's exclusive Connecticut Avenue
shops there is a photo of a needle-
point pillow on which the inscription
reads "Live long enough to be a burden
to your children."
The message is obviously meant in a
light vein, but it rings with an element
of truth. Burdening their children is not
the goal of the elderly and should a
parent need a little extra care, there are
alternatives for all family members: re-
tirement homes .
The Washington area offers a wide
selection of choice facilities. In most
homes mentioned, dining and house-
keeping services come with the accom-
modations, beauty shops may be on the
premises, nurses are readily available
and all have places of worship for all
denominations.
One major feature of all the homes is a
round of almost non-stop, planned social
activities . Arts and crafts, exercise
classes, bridge, bingo, cookouts and
cocktail parties, ranging from Friday
night "happy hours" to simple wine and
cheese or pizza and beer, dominate many
homes. Some even boast regular live
entertainment and first run movies.
A sampler of area retirement and nurs-
ing homes follows .
Chevy Chase House (5420 Connecticut
Avenue, N.W., Washington) is noted as one
of the "luxury retirement houses, complete
with a dining room that shows off with pink
linens, fresh flowers on the table and wine
served with dinner. Chauffeur driven limou-
sines will take you around town. A full time
recreation director keeps the residents busy
with planned activities every day of the
week, including a Wednesday night cocktail
party, bingo, outings to the Kennedy Center
and live entertainment, which could be
opera, ballet or Irish dancers, if it's St.
Patrick's Day. Residents look forward to
Memorial Day when the outdoor "sidewalk
cafe" opens for summer cookouts. One of
the more familiar names in residence is
Robert Lincoln Todd Beckwith, the great,
great grandson of Abraham Lincoln; Mr.
Beckwith is in his early 90's. Meg McGeogh
is the Director of the House.
The Georgetown (2512 Que Street, N.W.,
Washington) which opened last May is run
by the same management as Chevy Chase
House and has the same variety of programs
and facilities. Executive Director John J.
Walsh emphasizes that being there is "a
continuation of a lifestyle." Citing a gamut
of activities similar to Chevy Chase House,
he stresses that the residents "enjoy every
day here because there's always something
going on."

field Road, Bethesda) has a special patch of

and weekly news discussion group and
Peter Hackes from NBC News recently
stopped by to head the class. Grounds are
extensive and complete with a gazebo, an

Bainun calls "quite an assortment of exotic

rabbits, sheep and small animals roam in
nice weather. They've also got a "Century

Carriage Hill of Arlington (1785 South
Hayes Street, Arlington), which also has
locations in Bethesda and Silver Spring,
recently had a trendy "Western Day" com-
plete with fiddlers and dancing. Denny G.
Dennis, Director of Operations for Carriage
Hill Nursing Centers and Administrator for
the Arlington home, noted the nice relation-
ships that have developed between some of
the staff and residents, where staffers have
invited residents to their homes for dinner
and have taken them to World Series ball-
games and the movies.

ommercial bank trust officers
are almost as low-key and
tight-lipped as intelligence
agents when it comes to discussing their
customers. The officers are privy to
more than investment information;
they often serve as surrogate parents,
foster families, and even analysts.
"0 I''
ur approach is very persona ,
says George E. Flather, Jr., Executive
Vice President/trust officer at First
American Bank, N.A. "The custorner
can call on us at any time for invest
,,
ment help or any other kind of advice.
The trust banking business is based
on setting and attaining personal goals.
The trust department officials in
ington say their involvement in indt
vidual accounts is as varied as the
number of customers they serve.
"Estate planning is becoming verY
flexible, very affirmative and
creative," says Lee C. Tashjian, Vtce
President and trust officer at the Riggs
National Bank.
"Instead, the officers now have
become much better educated, rnuch
more sophisticated and are specialists
in the trust and investment area."
Trust funds have often carried the
aura of services only for the verY
wealthy. This is no longer true todaY

,an-
the customers' personal tax status."
The average trust fund managed by
local banks has assets of $300,000 to
$500,000. Most trust officers do not
recommend a trust fund for invest-
ments less than $150,000. However,
these smaller investments are often
Pooled into common trust funds which
the bank manages on a group instead of
an individual basis.
The trust fund is both a tax-saving
and time-saving vehicle for the
customer. Estates left to families
through trusts can reduce and often
eliminate the family's estate tax bill. A
trust insures that the funds go to the in-
tended recipients and do not have to go
through probate.
One of the most important advan-
of the trust to many investors is its
Inherent privacy An estate which goes
through becomes part of the
PUblic record. A trust fund may pass
through generations in total privacy.
b The trust officers at all three major
anks note that trust funds are manag-
as much by investor personality as
ey are by investment goals. "If an
O:der woman is still sharp and handling
a I her own stock transactions well,"
Flather, "I'd never propose to take
t at independence away from her."
The trust industry is one of the most
stable in business. As one trust officer
atAm
,, encan Security Bank commented,
r Once the trust relationship is estab-
is tends to stay with you. Unlike a
ecking account customer who may
ecome angered over an error in the
monthly statement and move the ac-
you really have to an-
I gontze a trust customer to have him
eave Your bank."
r "{he per.sonnel of trust departments
e lect thts stability. In every bank
the trust officers are long-
errn employees.
d Most prospecting for new clients is
one among the individual bank's
customers involved with other bank
services. The degree of personal atten-
tion required of each account promotes
this process. Fee structures among the
banks are fairly standard and are deter-
mined on a percentage basis of the
assets involved.
It is becoming more common for
younger professionals to turn to the
bank to manage their portfolios. Trust
officers note that many individuals
prefer the convenience of a trust and
will later convert that trust fund into
some sort of estate plan.
There can be pitfalls to this method
of investment. According to Rigg's
Vice President George R. Adams, "The
horror stories arise when people don't
expect the unexpected. You have to
plan to try to cover as many contingen-
cies as possible.
"Sometimes people try to do their
own planning. A homemade plan is like
trying to take out an appendix without
a surgeon."
There are many factors which will
have a dramatic impact on the evolu-
tion of the trust industry in the 1980s.
Adams cites, for example, the pressures
from within the banking community to
reduce regulations.
"What we are striving for is the ex-
pansion of the services we can offer as a
broad-based financial institution with-
out losing the quality of a prudent in-
vestment approach," Adams says.
Trusts can be maintained as fairly ac-
tive and liquid investments. Every trust
officer smiles at the remembrance of a
teenager living off a trust who asked for
stereo equipment or the customer who
increased her charitable trust benefit to
the local animal shelter.
"Our trust operations give people
more time for other things and help
them reduce the amount they worry
about their investments," Flather said.
"We are directly involved in our custo-
mers' lives." 0
Trust management is generally handled on a

THE EYES HA \IE IT!
The dance floor at the posh Four
Seasons Hotel looked much like Rehobeth
Beach on Saturday night with civic tigers
by the dozens bouncing with abandon to
the Sammy Ferro beat. The occasion was
the 15th annual Eye Ball which supports
the International Eye Foundation and helps
promote peace by restoring sight and
preventing blindness in 35 countries from
Honduras to Peru and Egypt to Indonesia.
IEF's Medical Director Dr. John Harry
King and blonde wife Helen received with
Chairmen "Cosy" Baker, Mrs. Vincent
Henry Walker and Louis Boland. Special
Guest of Honor Senator Barry Goldwater
with Peggy on his arm, held court during
cocktails with Sam and Joan Scrivener,
Natalie and George Bunker, "Trapper"
and Betty Drum, the Ken Crosbys and Lt.
Generals Bill Quinn and Betty and Art
Trudeau and Rosalie.
Steven Montgomery told Anna Maria
Via that he and Beth will host a dinner
dance cruise down the Potomac in June
for the younger-set supporters of the Eye
Foundation. At midnight the joint was still
jumping-sign of a successful benefit!
DANCING FOR THE ARTS
Ginger Rogers (72 and holding!) made
the day when she danced with
everybody's husband (George Bush, Ken
Crosby, Alan Randall and Patrick Hayes'
stepson to name a few) at the livelY
Crystal Tea Dance sponsored by the
Women's Committee of the Washington
Society for the Performing Arts. The Sun
day afternoon terpsichore to fund the
Concerts-in-Schools Program, packed the
Grand Ballroom of the Mayflower Hotel
with $100 ticket holders who sipped "high
tea" (wine and vodka martinis) and mun-
ched on scones and crepes flambe.
Chairman Barbara Gordon kept the par
ty moving from receiving line to 9 p.m.
finale with assists from Vice Chairman
Coral Schmid, Mrs. Joseph D'Edmidio,
Mrs. John Fitzpatrick and Mrs. James
Harkless-proof that tea dances pay and
may be the new "In" way to play in
Washington this year.
The morning after the Crystal Tea
Dance found the WPAS Women's Com
mittee back on their feet again for a 10 till
noon "Mix 'n Mingle" Reception at the
Phillips Gallery for First Lady NancY
Reagan and her partner Barbara Bush
The event drew over 250 distaff volunteers
from a variety of arts programs.
As a group it was ultra-suede incest, as
most of the pastel clad volunteers had
several arts affiliations such as Mrs.
Theodore Bedwell (Symphony and Ballet)
and Mrs. James R. Patton, Jr. (Smithso
nlan and Phillips Counci l ). Esther
Coopersmith boosted the
Museum ... Lilly Guest wore a Friends o
the Kennedy Center tag.
Best quote honors went to Barbara Bush
who commented that " public service and
volunteerism is really the rent you pay tor
living on this earth." -ARAMINTA

JAJv1ESON'S TOUR DE
FoRCE
To most of the guests present, Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Jameson's black tie dinner for
forty at the Metropolitan Club was a tour de
Ioree. There were no honored guests, no
head table and no long speeches, although
most of the men and some of the women
Were all called upon to speak.
And speak they did. Mostly the guests
lauded the Reagan administration and the
new spirit it had given the country as ex
ernpllfied by one of the guests, Secretary of
State AI Halg, who with Sen. Charles Percy
Mrs. Jameson, the spectacularly
eautlful Eva Gabor.
Many of the men were members of the
larned "Conquistadors," a social club for
Presidents and Chairmans of major com
Panies and shouts of "Viva" were not un
common as each guest concluded his
remarks, which were all spontaneous.
Sen. Percy's remarks concluding the
evening described the ordeal of Secretary
confirmation hearings opining that
he anguish was worth the candle and vall
dated the American system. Secretary Halg
Vigorously nodded assent, although equally
VIgorously denied, when it was suggested,
1
hat he was Interested in any future office.
The lone Democrat present was Con
Fred Richmond who kept the
rayed banner of liberalism waving in the
mostly conservative crowd.

kiSS INGER
Former Secretary of State, Dr. Henry Kiss-
inger, was the center of attention at a din-
ner in his honor at the Brazilian Embassy.
It was a time for administration officials
Present, such as White House aide Mike
Deaver and U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirk-
Patrick to compare notes with the former
Player of palace politics. As Brazil 's Am-
bassador Antonio da Silveira said in his
toast at dinner, "Henry Kissinger and I met
In 1974 and I felt right away that we would
become good friends." Henry the K re-
sponded by recalling that he once lunched
With the Ambassador in Atlanta instead of
accepting the invitation of Georgia's
Governor Jimmy Carter for the same time.
''The rest was history," Kissinger noted,
and they drank to that.
LLO<Y 13 FOR LUNCH
Nancy Kissinger couldn't make it. Mrs.
Rockefeller couldn't make it. Barbara
lJsh could, but only on Friday the 13th. So
Espil threw superstition aside and in-
Vited a stellar group of women to lunch at
Argentine residence to honor the Vice
President ' s wife. Pat Haig, Lee Annenberg,

STATE FETES DONORS
"Lend me your ears .. . your dollars
and antiques, too!" implored Clement
Conger, Chairman of the State Depart-
ment Fine Arts Committee.
More than I 000 donors and lenders
turned out for a lavish reception in their
honor, hosted by Secretary of State and
Mrs. Haig. Midway through receiving
line duties, the Haigs were joined by
Vice President and Mrs. Bush and the
guests had a chance to rub elbows with
top-level Reagan appointees plus long
time local supporters of the project
which, in 1980, netted nearly a million
dollars in funds and antiques.
Started 10 years ago, Conger's highlY
successful project has transformed the
once motel-style reception rooms atoP
the State Department into a showcase
of exquisite and authentic Americana.
A dozen flower-bedecked buffets
dispensed everything from oysters and
caviar to flaming blueberry crepes. ln
the crowd were Presidential Counsellor
Edwin Meese ill, Mrs. Dean Acheson
strolling among the new acquisitions on
the arm of her son, David, white-haired
Paul Nitze, the Daniel Boorstins,
sculptor Felix deWeldon, Evangeline
Bruce with the George Renchards and
Dorothy Clagett. Meanwhile prettY
Lianne Conger kept a wary eye on
numerous lighted candles highlighting
the furnishings, lest heat or flame corne
too near for the comfort of some of the
"new" antiques. -ANNE BLAIR

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

owners have managed to retain a home-
like atmosphere.
Despite the English Chippendale
vitrine, a fine specimen of Georgian
chinoiserie, acquired from the widoW
of Senator Robert Kerr of Oklahoma,
which is filled to the brim with T'ang
ceramics and pottery and other art ob-
jects, the elegant living room has a
decidedly lived-in look.
Somewhere among the vessels, vases,
large and small dishes, wine cups and
jars, the bird-headed ewer, saki bottles
and high-necked amphoras, the ancient
gold cup with the finely incised lotus
flower, the filigree hairpins, camels and
chimeras, in a small velvet box lies the
James Smithson silver medal from the
Smithsonian Society. It is an award,
bestowed upon donors of more sub
stantial gifts. Donations worth
$100,000 or more are rewarded with a
gold medal, and it is no secret that
Hugh and Marian Scott are strong con
tenders .
Not surprisingly, Scott, a moderate
Republican, was in favor of establish
ing relations with the People's RepubliC
of China.
"In the long run, one could not ig
nore 800 million people," says Scott,
stressing the fact that their numbers
have meanwhile increased to 960 mil
lion. Together with then Senate Majori
ty Leader, Mike Mansfield, who alsO
served on the Senate's foreign relations
committee in 1972, Scott was the first
Republican U.S. Senator to be received
by Premier Chou En-lai, some
weeks after President Nixon's historic
state visit.
Since his retirement from the Senate
four years ago, Scott's involvement
with the People's Republic has becorne
more pronounced. As a corporate law
yer dealing in international trade and
law, he has undertaken four trips to the
mainland, representing various clientS
whose interests range from arts, craftS
and wickerware to the export of coal
He belongs to the legal committee of
the National Council for U.S.-China
Trade as well as the Japan-U.S. Foun
dation chaired by Angier Biddle Dulce
and the Pan-Pacific Community Asso
dation.
As a collector, he seems to be more
surefooted in his assessment of Chinese
art than the politician was in his judS'
ment of the political events
China. Interestingly, in the spring o
1971, the influential Senator seriouslY
doubted the possibility of formal reeDS'
nition of "Red China" within thll
1
decade.

56/May 1981/ Dossier
Asked about the reasons for giving
up his Senate seat, certainly a note
worthy decision in this power
conscious town, Scott simply replies,
"Sooner or later one reaches the point
when one wants to be one's own per
son, when one wants some freedom and
not quite so much pressure."
How important is it for him to re
mind others that he left the Senate
undefeated becomes clear when he in
sists that voluntary retirees are referred
to as "former" Senators while those
who get out too late-like Jake Javits-
and wind up their public careers in in
glorious defeat have to make do with
the prefix "ex. " That a room was
recently named after him in the Senate
wing obviously fills him with great
pride and joy.
His wife Marian wistfully suggests
that his collection played a considerClble
part in the smooth transition fro!ll
public to private life. In a way, Scott
has embraced a two-track career where
the political honors and advances are
balanced by about as many manifesta
tions of respect where discriminating
taste and scholarly knowledge count.
Throughout his life, the collection
and the people and activities connected
with it-be that on the board of the
Freer Gallery of Art, the Board of Re
gents of the Smithsonian, the Oriental
Ceramic Society in the U.K., Asia
House or the Advisory Committee on
Oriental Art of the Philadelphia Mu
seum-formed a continuous thread.
And if Hugh and Marian, who collects
small Russian boxes, have one concern.
it happens to be the lack of interest on
the part of their eight grandchildren in
their grandparents' magnificent obses
sion.
Meanwhile, upgrading the collection
keeps them busy. ''All collectors knoW
one another," Scott beams. "We are in
constant touch, comparing and eJ'
changing information. Like any other
knowledgeable person, I get letters
every month from somebody whose
grandfather has left a Chinese snuff
bottle or a celadon bowl which, the cor
respondent guesses, must be worth a
fortune. What is it worth, they want to
know. Of course, I do not do apprais
als," he chuckles. .
What about the museums and the
1
r
curators? What is their attitude? 0
they hover, court and cajole the colJec
tor into parting with some of his most
prized possessions? .
Scott's somber voice takes on a diS
tinctly mischievous note: "They pay a
0
tention! They pay attention!"

All that will ever be now exi t.
This District, in the same kind of way,
will have no more chances to live at Georgetown
on green, wooded acres, simply surrounded
by space.
There won't be any more forty-two acre

H ilJandale at Georgetown has begun
accepting contracts on the thirty-four new
residences in our Chancery section.
These grand new homes offer spacr to 'Mish-
ingtonians who require a great deal of space.
Inside, homes in the Chancery have over
four thousand square feet and offer
three, four, and five bedrooms.
Dramatic design features in the Inverness
House model include a living room which soars
three stories high ... et off by a glass wall two
stories high ... and, above it all, a skylight lets
in sunlight and starlight.
An elevator, at your option, will whi k you
smoothly and quickly from your underground
garage to your third-story library ... where you
may enjoy the magnificent view.
Outside, homes in the Chancery rise three
and four stories out of the hill ide, front on the
District's most delightful park and court, and
like all of the Hillandale community ... are but a
brisk ten minutes' walk from the delights of
Georgetown.

The Educated Palate
A BRIEF LOOK AT "NEW RESTAURANTS"
Where can you find the most ethereal
snails? Want a bit of magic with your
meal? Where can you eat a Feijoada-
What is a Feijoada anyway?
The answers to these questions are all
found in the following sampling of new
restaurants that have been hitting the
Washington area faster than federal
budget cuts.
Just above the Farragut North Metro
Perches Charley's Crab, the latest in a
lively chain of restaurants that will
answer the fish-lovers craving for the
chargrilled fresh catch. The handsome
beige and mirrored Art Deco setting is
highlighted by stuffed geese and orchid
and green needlepoint banquettes;
table linens are white over dark pin-
stripe cloths. Besides poached, char-
grilled or broiled fresh scrod or bass, a
Spanish paella and a lusty bouillabaisse
are offered at night, and all manner of
crab in season. The Mussels ala Muer-
mussels steamed in a wine sauce and a
chilled raw bar platter-are unique
starters. Despite the cushy ambiance,
diners are encouraged to roll up their
sleeves to enjoy the "down east feast."
A. piano bar is featured nightly.
Gary's at 1800 M St., N.W., is also
becoming a businessman's favorite.
l'he bar is to the right; diners step down
to the left into an elegant dining room
set off by stained glass windows and
White linens. This restaurant knows its
beef and lobster; the pasta is fresh and
the veal especially fine. Try the crab-
Cakes. The tables are flanked by
overstuffed chairs and are far enough
apart so one can truly dine in under-
stated elegance.
Inaugural-goers had an early samp-
ling of Number's she-crab soup at the
National Visitors' Center's "Taste of
America" extravaganza and have been
coming back for more at 1330 19th St.,
N.w., ever since. A jazz trio and a
Pianist entertain nightly, and diners can
also dance in the Club Room. The chic
black and white decor serves as a back-
drop for a limited menu of Continental-
American cuisine, like sauteed scallops
and assorted lamb dishes. Dessert-
fanciers will gravitate toward the fried
Haagen Dazs ice cream as well as the
German chocolate cake.
Basil's restaurant, a mix of basil
green, brass and crystal, is becoming an
elegant restaurant for Hill notables.
Owner Mario Basil has been in the food
business for over 30 years, and this res-
taurant is the culmination of his tastes
acquired worldwide-f: om t a ~ 1 g y cream
of sorrel soup to Veal Chop a la
Pescador (glazed with pesto sauce). The
finest cuts of aged prime steak in a glass
cooler greet diners at the door. Save
room for the frozen cappuccino pie, a
mix of bitter coffee, cream and choco-
late at its finest.
Pendleton's at 501 2nd St., N.E., is
an eclectic melange of oak antiques and
a Mexican feeling in the downstairs din-
Dossier/ May 1981/ 59
60/ May 1981/ Dossier
ing room. The lime-baked chicken and
fish specials are very popular .' Sit out-
side for a summer choice of six novel
salads and other light offerings.
Mel Krupin's at 1120 Connecticut
Avenue is as New Yorky as Washington
will ever get with host Mel Krupin
greeting people at the door with his wry
Brooklyn wit. The food is strictly
American with kosher pickles and crisp
rolls on the table, setting the stage for
tasty, copious portions and the clubbY
ambience created by Washington polit-
ical and sports stars and entertainers.
Georgetown has seen the old Aldo's
of yesteryear resurrected at 1201 28th
St., N.W. White and silver foil wall
paper make the intimate dining roo!Il
most appealing. Small seating (84 in
two rooms) can mean increased expec
tations, and diners won't be disap
pointed with appetizers like a luxuriant
antipasto (big enough for lunch) or the
Trout alla Livornese, frest trout
sauteed with caper sauce.
The West End Cafe stands in FoggY
Bottom at 1 Washington Circle. Both
the Garden Room, filled with greenerY
to set off the beige decor, and the Piano
Room/Bar offer a spirited, casual at
mosphere. The barbecued sesame duck
or zucchini-stuffed chicken offer the
diner light, tasty entrees. Happy hour
has an ethnic twist, with Mexican hors
d'oeuvres one day and fresh eggrolls
the next.
What is a Feijoada anyway? It's the
national dish of Brazil, a kind of steW
with black beans and assorted cured
meats arid sausages. The Cafe de
lpanema, 1524 Wisconsin Ave., N.W.,
serves it with rice, manioc meal, shred
ded kale and orange slices arranged on
a plate. The sopa de siri, a lovely crearn
of crab soup, is an alluring beginning,
and if the tasty Vatapa is a special, bY
all means try the shellfish and shrirnP
melange. Service is earnest and friendl Y
in this spare diner with bright green and
yellow primitive scenes of Brazilian
life. Until a liquor license is granted,
the bar serves as coat storage!
Also, from south of the border
comes Las Pampas, 3291 M St., N.W
The Argentinian steak house Jets
passers-by get hungry by lookin8
through the window into the kitchen
with its beef and sausage laden grillS
Meat isn't aged, it's marinated. Try the
Churrasco-a thick slab of beef at a
bargain price-or the Parrillada, all
Argentine mixed grill.

cented in red, black and gold. I found
especially enticing the Veal Saltimboc-
ca with savory cheese and spinach,
savored in a Marsala sauce. Another
very popular dish is their Shrimp
Marinara. They make their own lovely
cannollis for dessert.
Place Vendome-Rive Droite has
taken over the spot where Rive Gauche
was for nearly 25 years. Michel Burkle
has created an airy oak-paneled bras-
serie-with romantic Art Deco green lan-
terns and a masterful luminist painting
of Place Vendome by Jose Fabricante.
Prices are competitive but the food is
extraordinary. Four original pates are
offered at $2.95; the Terrine Fondante
de Foie de Canard is special. Entrees in-
clude duck breast with cider-basked
turnips or scallions, sauteed with en-
dives. The place promises to be a chic
after-theater and late-night spot;
they're open until 4 a.m. By all means
save room for Place Vendome nouga-
tine ice cream in raspberry sauce or the
assorted pastries, little culinary art
treasures in themselves.
Annie Oakley Saloon has just opened
upstairs from Place Vendome on M St.;
Georgetown finally has a real western
bar! Hamburgers, chili, nachos and
other western treats are offered. The
Texas State Society has already claimed
it as their own.
Great restaurants try not to die, but
(ew can move as artfully as has the Rive
Gauche to the Georgetown Inn at 1320
Wisconsin Ave., N.W. Michel Laudier,
the chef who made it great, is serving
many of the same superb dishes, like
the lobster souffle or salmon with sorrel
sauce. The restaurant has been trans-
formed into beige and crystal elegance,
and new masterpieces can be expected
from Chef Laudier.
Talk about gimmicks! The Brook
Farm Inn of Magic, 7101 Brookville
Rd., Chevy Chase, presents a magic
comedy cabaret with a prix fixe dinner
like prime rib, tenderloin with Burgun-
dy sauce, tropical house salad and
dessert. The show is entertaining and
professional. On Saturday a magic
show for kids offers all-they-can-eat
pizza and spaghetti. There's a magician
and fire-eater in the brown-paneled in-
terior.
Le Vagabond, 7315 Wisconsin Ave.,
Bethesda, presents some fabulou" cu-
linary alternatives. First of all, owtlers
Mike and Norma Mayo make guests
feel really welcome in this cozy brown
and wood downstairs niche. And their
Danish chef has created the most suc-
culent tender Salmon Graavlax ever en-
countered. The menu is a gourmet tour,
from the Russian blini with caviar, the
Roumanian mixed grill of beef sausage,
liver, lamb and pork to Pheasant au
Port and Beef Wellington. A strolling
musician completes the romance on
weekends.
The East Wind restaurant, 809 King
St., Alexandria, offers some of the best
Vietnamese cooking in Washington.
The dining room is a tasteful and gentle
brown and blond wood stage where the
Oriental masterpieces keep coming
from the spotless kitchen. Owner Khai
Nguyen has taken many pains to create
the peaceful decor; the Pho (beef soup),
flounder with special sauce or Bo
Dun-chargrilled beef strips cradling
onion pieces-speak volumes about the
subtly complex flavors of Vietnamese
cuisine.
And where are the best escargots in
town? They're actually in Rosslyn at
Moo Paris, 1111 19th St. Joined bY
mushroom chunks, the snails were
cooked in delicate sauce, though corn-
posed by a blend of heady garlic,
parsley and other ingredients. A white
dining room with gold woodwork and
dark draped cornices is the backdroP
for other specialties like duck sauced in
kiwi, fruit, grapes and flambeed in
cassis. Lunch offers La Salade Moll
Paris, with duck and lobster. The ser-
vice needs some ironing out, but the of-
ferings are well worth a visit.
Barclays, 9910 Main St., Fairfax,
presents a nautical theme carried
into fresh fish offerings and fettucinl
Barclays' bucket is filled with crab legs,
mussels, clams, new potatoes, corn-on
the-cob and lobster, and the homemade
biscuits are downright addicting.
Prime beef is found at Chateaubri
and in Old Town, 112 North Asaph St .
Alexandria. The orange, beige and rust
surroundings are highlighted by a spiral
staircase, and a pianist plays nightiYd
Accoutrements like Caesar salad an
crab-stuffed mushrooms do not go un
noticed. Do you dare leave room for
the chocolate cheesecake?
Finally, Quigley's, 3201 New MexicO
Ave., N.W., is a funky fun saloon. The
mesh of Tiffany, brass and wood is just
right for the raw bar, salads and hafl1'
burgers that are offered. Night time of
