February 1981 Washington Dossier

There's a new
place in Georgetown
ideally suited for all the VIP's
neaaea for Washington.
James Place. A particularly
dignified condominium residence on
the side of Georgetown nearest Capitol
Hill-and farthest from the congestion.
While all77 residences are unusually
large and well-designed, we refer No. 311 to the
Senate Committee. Besides the unusually large
master bedroom, there are two full baths, a
breakfast-area kitchen, plenty of room for a
grand old party, plus many small (but exceedingly
civilized) touches-from the custom door mouldings
to the brass bathroom fixtures. Price: $154,100.
Visit our decorated models at the Sales Office, on
29th Street, south of M, just below the canal (guest park-
ing in garage). Open 11 to 6 every day. 1, 2, and 3 bed-
room plans available early 1981. Phone 338-0990.

John and Pamela Jova are a natural team-they complement each
other's lifestyles and dress. A Foreign Service career officer, Jova has
served as U.S. Ambassador to Honduras and Mexico, and is currently
president of Meridian House. Pamela, daughter of an English military
man, works with the recently opened European Art Center here.
Together, they breathe diplomatic ease and style, apparent from their
classically elegant dress accenting international elan, timeless rather than
trendy. Here they are seen together at Meridian House in front of the
16th-century Flemish tapestry in the dining room.

event was Paul Volcker, and Dr. Arthur
Bums, discussing the economy quietly in a
corner of the ninth floor suite of American
Security Bank party on Inaugural day. In an
interesting aside Volcker asked a California
financier active in the stock market his opin-

A NEW DECADE AND "A GREAT NEW BEGINNING"
l
J
The State Department sounded the opening notes
of the new Administration with a reception attend-
ed by: I. President and Mrs. Reagan, greeting
heads of his Inaugural Committee Charles and
Mary Jane Wick and Robert Gray; 2. Bursts of
colored fireworks showered the Lincoln Memorial
for a spectacular opening; 3. Ambassador Anne
Armstrong and Tobin, Attorney General William
French Smith and Jean were among 500 VIP
celebrants ushering in Inaugural festivities; 4. In
two formal interpretations, actor Hugh O'Brian
and Walter Cronkite. 5. Heralded by honor guard,
George Bush hails crowd of 18, 000-ushered in
shifts-at the Vice President's reception at the
Museum of American History. 6. Earl Blackwell
welcomes to his party two familiar names from his
celebrity list, Rosemary and Robert Stack. 7.
Lawyer Don Santarelli, left, hosted a salute to the
new era at the Jefferson Hotel, honoring Johnny
and Joanna Carson, seen here with cosmetics
queen Estee Lauder.
1. Furs, diamonds and limousines epitomized the
Distinguished Ladies' Reception held at the Ken-
nedy Center to permit ladies (and gentlemen) from
across the United States to fete the new First Lady
in a morning ceremony held throughout the
center. 2. Nancy Reagan introduced co-honorees,
distinguished ladies Barbara Bush, Anne Arm-
strong, Carol Laxalt and Liddy Dole. 3. The First
Lady cut the ribbon at the special Corcoran Inaug-
uration-only showing of Leonardo Da Vinci's
sketchbook, loaned by owner Dr. Armand Ham-
mer, at left. Also on hand were Charles Z. Wick
and Californian Pascal Regan, chairman of the
Fine Arts Committee of the Inaugural. 4. Pep-
siCo ~ Dan Kendall and wife greeted Maureen
Reagan at their elegant luncheon given for the
diplomatic corps at the OAS. Bill Codus, center,
introduced guests. Total bill for the Inaugural will
run well over $9 million, according to iriformed

5. The Capital Centre Gala sparkled with stars,
both of the tinsel town and political variety, as
the Centre's owners Mr. and Mrs. Abe Pol/in
greet Secretary of State Alexander Haig at their
pre-Gala fete. 6. Ambassador Walter Annenberg
enjoys the company of Barbara Sinatra. 7. A
touching moment came when "old soldiers, "
Army five-star General Omar Bradley and Air
Force General Jimmy Stewart, saluted each other
center stage. 8. Back-to-bock candlelight suppers
before and after KenCen Inaugural concerts,
taxed the dining room staff to the fullest. Diners
included a sequinned Mrs. Voltaire Perkins and
Mrs. Earle Jorgensen, who checks out the green
FitzHugh pattern dinner plate. 9. The President
gives his now-famous "thumbs up" gesture to
KenCen ball audience, which numbered 9,000.

Californian Dr. Armand Hammer with "Caller Herrin" by Milia is from his collection. Recently he
acquired Leonardo Da Vinci's sketch book, on view here during the Inauguration.
The exhibitions of Dr. Armand
Hammer's thoroughly upgraded collec-
tion of paintings, "Five Centuries of
Masterpieces," as well as his famed
Daurnier collection at the Corcoran, are
yet another manifestation. Needless to
say, both of these priceless collections
are destined to wind up in the planned
extension of the Frances and Armand
Hammer wing of L.A.'s County
Museum of Art. Hollywood notwith-
standing, the rise of California's collec-
tors to international prominence is a
comparatively new phenomenon.
While most of them-and there are
dozens by now-like to bestow a paint-
ing or two on the National Gallery of
Art for reasons of prestige and patriot-
ism, practically all of them expect to
leave their treasures in full or in part to
their local art museum. To the dismay
of the museum directors, however, this
excludes the fabled collections of those
who are rich and ambitious enough to
found their own museums. The late J.
Paul Getty's elegant museum, a de-
lightful replica of a Roman villa, at-
tracts the art lovers of the world to
Malibu. Norton Simon, who presides
over his superb, though recently ac-
quired collection of old masters, lures
them to Pasadena. The trustees of
LACMA never quite forgave the willful
Simon for auctioning off Edvard
Munch's masterpiece "Girls on a
Bridge" at Christie's for $2.8 million.
It should have stayed in California,
they maintain. Nor have they quite
come to terms with his decision to go
his own way. As Kenneth Donahue, the
museum's former director, pointed out,
the museum's acquisitions of modern
and contemporary art would have been
stepped up considerably had it not been
for the high expectations set on Simon's
original collections.
Luckily, not all collectors change
directions. One with a fine eye and a
profound passion for great art is Ed-
ward W. Carter, the longtime trustee
and avid supporter who is in charge of
the museum's current $27.5 million
fund-raising drive for the construction
of a gallery for modern art and other
improvements that add to LACMA's
luster. Carter has assembled a relatively

hapters range from "Setting the

to sex during pregnancy and in
later years, with the sure favorite

ourmet Lovemaking " in which the
note "our problem with
s chapter was what to leave out."
'o:fter a brief introduction to each
/c, several interviewees are described
and pertinent data and are then
the d tn their own words regarding
in area. Their
to-earth mformat10n and earthy
language is a welcome change from the
pseudo-sexual articles found in so-called
"women's magazines." One wonders
how the authors managed to find such
untongue-tied subjects.
Barbach is at the University of Cali-
fornia on the psychiatry department
faculty, and Levine, a graduate of
Catholic University and a sex therapist,
is in private practice in Washington,
D.C., and is a consultant for the Center
for Depression.
The authors almost spoil the no-non-
sense yet welcomely unclinical nature of
the work by the rather cutesy jacket
comment that they ''hope to give
women permission to try some sexual
activities they have always wanted to try
but felt that no respectable woman
would consider doing.'' One hopes most
American women today, especially in
light of the wide-ranging survey of them
represented here, are under no such
puritanical restraints. In any case, this is
a useful and entertaining book for both
men and women, preferably to be
shared. -SUSAN ELLIS
REVITALIZING AMERICA:
POLITICS FOR PROSPERITY.
By Ronald E. Muller. New York:
Simon and Schuster. 325 pp. $13.95.
For those concerned about the rud-
derless U.S. economy, this book is must
reading. Ronald Muller is ideally suited
to the task of analyzing America's cur-
rent economic decline, not only because
he happens to be professor of economics
and international finance at American
University in Washington, D.C., but
also because he is a pragmatist whose
advice and counsel is sought all over the
world by government ministers, corpor-
ation heads and trade union leaders. A
half dozen years ago he co-authored
Global Reach: The Power of the Multi-
national Corporations, with Richard J.
Barnet, Washington's other, perhaps
only other, credible global economist.
Revitalizing America continues to
observe and analyze the behavior of
multinational corporations. But it goes
beyond mere observation by demon-
strating the inadequacies and short-
comings of traditional economic poli-
cies, as they are applied in the current
stagflation drift. While Reagan admin-
istration supply-siders and Friedman
monetarists will undoubtedly cringe at
the idea, Muller fully documents the
transformation of the classical compe-
titive marketplace into a dual economy,
where some 800 U.S. multinational
conglomerates account for 70 percent
of private sector business-a kind of
supereconomy-while some 14 million
smaller firms dogfight down below for
the remaining 30 percent of domestic
business. For example, the Federal
Reserve's monetary policy, thi s
nation' s big stick to fight inflation, is
simply impotent in the face of the
supereconomy's ability to ignore do-
mestic interest rates. Giants in the
supereconomy can go to the trillion
dollar Eurocurrency market to borrow
or invest, and Eurodollars and Euro-
banks are outside the board's orb of
authority and influence.

MOVIE MAGIC
As for the "Jazz Singer," he should
have listened to his father and become a
Cantor. "Duddy Kravitz" should have
stayed a hustler and not maligned poor
Chopin, and Paddy Chayevsky should
never have altered his state. His original
incarnation was not so bad.
Mostly, we suppose, you have to
blame the producers, an obtuse, non-
creative bunch to begin with. Perhaps it
is up to Jack Valenti to call them into
his office in Washington and birch
them all with 20 lashes to their respec-
tive butts, which obviously is that part
of their anatomy closest to their taste
level.
It wouldn't be a bad idea if all those
writers, directors and actors who have
cut their eye teeth on television were
herded back to that medium, en masse,
and given braces before letting them
return to real movie production.
Perhaps Michael Cimino, whose ap-
A BAG OF
HADFUCKS
palling "Heaven's Gate" deserved the
subtitle "Exit Here," might have done
the industry a favor by shocking the
moguls out of their Guccis. But this
business of the asses fighting off the
Philistines with the head of Samson has
got to stop, or movie exhibitors will
have to refurbish their theaters for
female mud wrestling.
It's not the prices that are keeping
people away from the current crop of
inanities, it is the celluloid images
themselves-endless reels of boring,
brainless, plodding offal. It's all right
to manufacture the stuff for the boob
tube. It's expected there now that
Valium is losing its credibility. But to
denature the last refuge of fantasy for
people of my generation is not only an
ecological travesty, it threatens to make
imagination obsolete and drive people
back to reading books, which wouldn't
be such a bad idea. 0

GENERAL
ROBERT H. BARROW
UP FROM 1liE RANKS
A MARINE'S MARINE By Susan Ellis
''Bob and I were in the
same reserve officers' class
going through Quantico. He
accepted his regular commis-
sion. I turned mine down.
He's pretty damn lucky I
did, or I'd be the General
and be' d be relegated to
being a lousy Congressman.
Seriously, Bob's reputation
for straight-talking is a good
sign for Congress . . . we
can trust what he says."
U.S. Rep. Barber B. Conable, Jr., (R-N.Y.)
member of "Congressional Marines"
11 I February I 98 I I Dossier
General Robert H. Barrow, the first
Marine Commandant to serve as a full-
fledged member of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, is a leatherneck who speaks with
a soft southern drawl, has courtly man-
ners (called this female reporter
"ma'am"), speaks as feelingly of the
paintings on his office wall as of
military strategy, and waxes even more
poetic about retiring "as gracefully as I
possibly can" to his family plantation
in Lowsiana. There are other features
out of the "mold" generally perceived
to be those of a devout militarist. His
famous summer garden parties, given
on the grounds of the Marine Comman-
dant's historic and stately Capitol Hill
residence, are as noted for the
''crackerjack Dixieland band'' -made
up from Marine Band members-as for
the stirring martial airs played while
they parade.
No insider would dispute the general's
military expertise, originally gained in
1944 through action with the infantry
and in every dispute involving this na-
tion since World War II when, as a
22-year-old Marine lieutenant, he led a
team of U.S. Marines and Chinese
guerrillas to cut Japanese communica-

same as those in the corporate world,"
he admitted winningly, ''All business at
work and not enough time to do it, then
when that's over and you're pleasuring
yourself, you do just that."
Barrow's predilection for Dixieland
jazz was translated into action when
Marine Band Director Lt. Col. John
Bourgeois, a fellow Louisianan, "read
my thoughts and said 'l know what you
want,''' the general smiles. Since then a
select group of bandsmen regularly of-
fer New Orleans style jazz as a refresh-
ing alternative to stirring Sousa marches.
His affability, first evidenced at a
Senator John Warner, former Marine
and Secretary of the Navy
social gathering in his home, remained
during an interview in General Barrow's
austere Marine Corps office in the
Navy annex across from Arlington
Cemetery. But the measured cadence of
his responses, and the presence of a
public relations officer to tape record
the exchange, sharply defined the
change from purely social to down-to-
business.

Design For Living
HOME OF THE COMMANDANT:
T
his May when the Marine Corps
band begins its summer Friday
evening ritual of parading
through the grounds of the Marine bar-
racks on Capitol Hill, ending in front
of the Commandant's stately manse
which is the oldest continually occupied
home in Washington, D.C.-built in
1806-one might reflect on the living
Marine tradition within. For General
and Mrs. Robert Barrow and their five
children, the Marine Corps is not only a
career but a way of life. Patricia Bar-
row's father was an infantry officer and
she spent all her young years, the first
13 in the Philippines and China, "living
just as I do now, from pillar to post."
Their son, Marine 2nd Lt. Rob Barrow,
has just received his first assignment
and will serve on board ship in the
Mediterranean. The Barrows' twin
daughters Barbara and Cathy are mar-
ried to Marine officers who were aides
to their father when they met. Cathy's
two-year-old toddler, Samuel Denham
Turner, Jr., attired in tiny, full Marine
dress for a New Year's Day reception at
the Barrows' G Street, S.E., residence,
may have made a start on continuing a
third generation tradition.
A tradition of discipline and duty
permeates the Barrow household, but it
is laced with humor and southern hos-
pitality, doubtless partly derived from
the general ' s Louisiana childhood near
the small town of St. Francisville where
he grew up on a plantation owned by
his family since the early 1800s. But the
friendly aura, comfortable even during
a formal military reception, is also an
accomplishment of Patricia ("Patty"
to her husband) whom the general de-
scribes as "a very key element in all
this. She is not only very supportive of
me as a person but also of the Marine
Corps. She has a deep and abiding in-
terest in Marine families and informs
me of the things she learns. In a sense,
they sometimes get translated into
things that I do."

restored to early 1800's authenticity through the
efforts of Mrs. John Russell, wife of the 16th
Commandant, who consulted period experts to
assure authentic colors and woods. Crystal
chandeliers in the dining room and drawing
rooms replace earlier, garish electric ]velures.
"the general's food is even better than
the White House, which particularly
the last few years has been skimpy.''
Except for such large festive affairs,
the Barrows entertain formally,
"seated and served the European way,
course by course. I enjoy doing it,"
says Patricia Barrow. "It's one of those
things you only have for a brief time.
It's a lovely time of life. At a certain
point, everything sort of comes to-
gether-we have a lovely house and
staff and I enjoy taking advantage of
it."
For formal dinners and luncheons
she uses "a blend of things given to the
house as gifts and from our lifelong col-
lection. Our wedding silver, Wallace
Grand Colonial, and the house silver,
Gorham's Chantilly, blend nicely to-
gether. We have W edgwood china and
there is Spade in the house, so we use
both. For such large groups, we would
have to."
As she talks, her two-and-a-half year
old granddaughter chortles happily in-
to the phone and Patricia Barrows con-
veys the feeling that contentment
reaches all corners of her life.
She has obviously taken to heart the
national historic landmark home of the
Commandants, the site of which
was chosen by Thomas Jefferson as the
Marine Barracks. "The house flows
very nicely and we use all of it for enter-
taining our friends, including the sunny
solarium," she says. At times, conver-
sation is the order of the evening. At
others, "We ask for musicians from the
Marine Band. It depends on the formal-
ity of the occasion and whether it's an
official function."
The house was refurbished under
General and Mrs. Robert Cushman
about 1970. Each Commandant's fami-
ly, Patricia Barrow explained, leaves its
mark by donating gifts to the house.
"Most of the ladies have acquired and
collected Chinese and Japanese porce-
lains such as lmari, because of the lives
we've led,'' with Marine husbands tra-
ditionally serving primarily in the
western Pacific. Other furnishings
come from outside donations and from
the Corps itself.
With today's more modest house-
holds, it has become increasingly dif-
ficult for Commandants to furni sh the
house appropriately. This situation led
the Cushmans to seek authority from
the secretary of the navy to solicit gifts
and contributions for use in the Com-
mandant's house. The objective, to

Meridian House is a nonprofit organi-
zation that sponsors international
symposia-cultural, educational and
political-striving to create mutual respect
and knowledge between people so that
Americans going abroad and foreigners
visiting the United States can appreciate
each other's different views and customs.
Meridian House has something for
everyone-whether it is an exhibit of Pi-
casso graphics, a lecture by United
Nations Ambassador Donald McHenry, an
environmental seminar, helping foreign
students who live here in Washington or
reaching out to the multi-ethnic
community in Washington itself.

hat makes Washington tick is
more than just the wheeling
and dealing behind closed
doors. It's the social life, for nowhere
else in America is socializing so wedded
to a town's industry: politicking.
And the password is complement-
that which completes to make perfect.
A complement is more than a mere ac-
cessory; it's a blend, a mutuality, a har-
mony. It's also a quality. And the
couples who have it stand out like
caviar and champagne.
A prime example of this perfect
blend are John and Pamela Jova. He is

David and Barbara Waters seem to
have it all. On the surface, you'd say
they're definitely fashionable, but
knowing them helps you understand
why.
It's not just that at age 48 David is
chairman of the board and chief execu-
tive officer of Garfinkel's, Brooks
Brothers, Miller and Rhoads, Inc. (bet-
ter known as The Garfinckel Corp.
which owns Ann Taylor and Harzfeld's
as well as the other stores in its corpor-
ate name). And it's not just that Bar-
bara was publicity director for Joan
and David shoes in New York after be-
ing publicity director of I. Magnin in
Chicago.
They have that intangible ingredient
called style, that personal pizzaz that
you just can't go out and buy.
The Waters represent a growing
breed which has become vital to this
basically one-industry town. It's what
the government people call the "private
sector," and in plain terms called the
business community. Although it has
happened slowly, the business commu-
nity has come into its own in Washing-
ton and is fast becoming an integral
part of the city.
"I think there's been an integration
at the local level and a great deal of
outreach to the community and govern-
ment," says David. "If you look at
most of the medium-sized businesses in
this town, they seem to be successful
locally and nationally. Marriott, Peo-
ple's and Woodies are companies which
have had good growth. And I think the
community has grown, too."
In addition to his obvious energy,
David Waters exudes an air of confi-
dence. He's a man who has a sense
about himself. And Barbara is clearly

career right after Jaw school when he
was working in an Atlanta law firm. One
day he read and answered a newspaper
ad placed by the FBI which was recruit-
ing new agents. His application ac-
cepted, he went off to Washington and
has never looked back.
But it was his sense of adventure that
Jed him to an international finance and
management career which started in
Buenos Aires. That was in 1943, and the
name of the firm was Merrill Lynch (the
Pierce, Fenner & Smith came much la-
ter) . He moved to Mexico City, then to
Montevideo and finally landed in
Havana in I 946 where he lived for the
next 15 years.
Until Castro's takeover and the U.S.
break with Cuba in I 961, Havana was,
according to Crosby, "one of the most
exciting cities in the world." Unravaged
by war, with a strong and stable econ-
omy unlike Europe and Asia, Havana
became a mecca for international in-
vestors and people who no longer
wanted to be reminded of seven years of
world war.
The Cuban peso, says Crosby, was on
an exact exchange rate with the U.S.
dollar, Miami was more of a swamp
than a city, the climate was balmy, and
Hemingway was in full residence then .
Havana was what was called a wide
open town, an easy place to live, to play,
to enjoy life. And leave it to Ken Crosby
to be there at that special period of
history.
"There was no place to live like
Havana in those years," reminisces
Crosby. "And yes, I knew Hemingway
and his wife, Mary. In fact, I hired Jack
Hemingway (known to Papa Heming-
way's readers as Bumby) as an account
executive for Merrill Lynch in Havana."
After Cuban-U.S. diplomatic rela-
tions were broken and Merrill Lynch

CATCH A BRI\SS RING
You could easily tell Committee
members from just plain guests at th
lOth anniversary Elephant Ball (whose
real name is The Smithsonian Women'
Committee Dance) because Chairman
Ginny White asked cohorts to wear
pink or red, in complement to the decor
in the rotunda of the Museum of Nat-
ural History where the annual fund-
raiser is held. Helen Smith, a former
Chairman of the Women's Committee,
was in a shiny pink-and-green sheath
(Very old! she confessed) ... and Gin-
ny (Mrs. John) Sapienza wore her
favorite hot pink Chinese silk. Millie
Mailliard, Ann Upton, Ruthanna
Weber and a dozen more members
heeded instructions, and so did the
Ball's mascot, the giant pachyderm,
who stands trunk upraised, in the
center of the rotunda. He (or she?)
sported a splendidly raffish shocking-
pink saddle blanket. Martha Bartlett
planned the decorations to carry out a
"carousel" theme this year. Lively 19th
century hand-carved animals pranced
around the elephant, haunting calliope
music piped guests up the escalator,
and straw-hatted young barkers pre-
sented them with rings-some of which
turned out to be brass and entitled their
owners to some tempting doorprizes.
"This is the dance for dancers," said
John Sapienza as he swept Ginny onto
the floor ... and hardly anyone sat out
even a moment while Gene Donati and
his orchestra provided waltzes, polkas,
Charlestons and even a tango or two
for some of the best hoofers in town.
Espied on the edge of the dance floor,
obviously savoring every beat, were the
Ducky Blocks, the Brackley Shaws, the
George McGhees and the Adrian
Fishers-the latter back for "good" in
their lovely N Street house after nearly
four years in Geneva. The Henry
Smith's daughter Susan McConnell
waltzed with Charles Van Stone while
the Edward Hidalgos, the J. Edward
Days and lovely Sigrid Spalding en-
joyed the music. S. Dillon Ripley,
secretary of the Smithsonian, beamed
proudly as he introduced the new direc-
tor of the Museum of Natural Hi tory,
Dr. Richard Fiske and his wife. Mary
Ripley had tucked a very becoming red
poinsettia into her blonde chignon.
Getting their first taste of a Wash-
ington "Ball" were the new Indian Am-
bassador K. R. Narayanan and his sari-
clad wife.

llraoys cDaniel recreates his feat of eating 148 oysters-four more than Diamond Jim
record-at le Bagatelle which provided the Belon variety of these bivalves.
By Donald Dresden
R
obert McDaniel indisputably
ranks as the gastronomical
guru of Washington. And it's
no wonder. His encyclopedic know-
ledge of food and wine and his ability to
describe them, coupled with his mod-
est, affable personality, have elevated
him to the presidency of the Washing-
ton chapters of the most exclusive
epicurean societies in the world: the In-
ternational Wine and Food Society and
the Confrerie de Ia Chaine des Rotis-
seurs. While attending the Gastro-
nomic Fair in Dijon he was also elected
a Commandeur de Cordon Bleu.
McDaniel worships gourmandise.
"Good food and wine is my only hob-
by," he says. "Indeed wine and food
have been the greatest pleasures of my
life."
As the sharpest fin bee in town,
McDaniel, who is 56, has probably
helped plan and participated in more
"grand dinners," as he calls such
Lucullan bashes, than anyone in the
Federal City.
His prowess as an epicure is so
esteemed by professional chefs that
they ask him to rate their work: within
the last two years he was chosen by the
National Capital Chefs Association
and the Americale Culinaire of Wash-
ington from a roster which included
White House Executive Chef Henry
Haller, to serve as chief judge of the
presentations of participants in the
Salon of Culinary Art sponsored by the
Greater Washington Restaurant Asso-
ciation.
Since McDaniel was invited to be a
member of the Chaine and the Wine
and Food Society some 20 years ago, he
has been a member of or advisor to vir-
tually every committee that plans these
organizations' dinners. Choosing a res-
taurant is a cinch for McDaniel since he
knows virtually every place in town and
the strengths of their chefs. Then
negotiations with the restaurant begin.
Eating societies strike a hard bargain
and get a rock bottom price because
restaurants value the esteem of some of
the most discriminating bon vivants in
town.
Indispensable links in the Chaine des Rotisseurs, McDaniel, left, current Washington presi-
dent of the gourmet society, offers a toast to past president Robert Greault, chef-proprietor
of Le Bagatelle.
Dinner begins with apertifs, no hard
stuff, and light canapes. Tables have no
flowers because the scent might intrude
on taste and no salt either. Ashtrays are
only available with coffee.
A typical dinner includes a light
broth, fish course, entree, sherbet as an
interlude and palate clearer, salad,
cheese, desert, coffee and liqueur. Por-
tions are generous, but just the amount
most would wish.
At the end of the meal McDaniel de-
livers a lucid, fair commentary on the
dinner. Another member comments on
the wines. Members air their view-
points, in uninhibited, amusing, some-
times ribald banter.
As an oenophile, McDaniel ranks
with the best. The first time I met him
was at a tasting of Australian wines, lit-
tle known in this country, being com-
pared with European vintages. Several
tasters noticed something strange about
one of the wines. McDaniel spotted it as
metallic, and sure enough, the vineyard
was on top of a vein of iron ore.
How did McDaniel get started as a
food expert? (He doesn't like being
called a gourmet because he thinks the
term is snobbish.)
In some ways his initiation into
gastronomy parallels that of Craig
Claiborne's whose mother ran a board-
ing house and James Beard's whose
parents operated a modest hotel.
McDaniel accompanied his father, a
hotel executive, on trips to inspect the
company's facilities. Food and its
preparation during that period of
benign attention to hotel dining rooms
captivated young Bob's attention.
Chefs were delighted to have an en-
thusiastic youth visit their kitchens, and
46/ February 1981 / Dossier
as the son of an executive he enjoyed
unlimited tasting privileges. He espe-
cially recalls the joy of reaching into
pickle barrels for choice specimens. But
he also enjoyed exotic fare, such as ter-
rapin in Georgia.
Later McDaniel pursued a career in
business and today he is a real estate
management executive for L'Enfant
Plaza Properties. As an intelligence
operative during World War II and the
Korean conflict, he saw a lot of the
world, especially Europe, which ex-
posed him to some of the finest cuisines
and wines in the Occident and the Near
East.
When he returned to Washington
and resumed his business career, a
generous expense account permitted
him to patronize the best restaurants in
town, which he did with gusto.
The Sommelier Society of America
welcomed him to that select group of
wine stewards, the only amateur so
honored at that time. He traveled to
New York for dinners and wine tast-
ings, and when a Washington chapter
was formed, he was chosen president.
He is now chairman of the board and is
also a member of the Cent Chevaliers
de Vin, a local group of wine con-
noisseurs.
Trips to New York for other reasons
always included sumptuous meals in
top restaurants. On one occasion Mc-
Daniel was served a sauce bearnaise
which he thought inferior. He tactfully
told the maitre d'hotel that he could
make a better sauce, and he was invited
to prove it in the kitchen. Everything
went fine but he misjudged the intensity
of the professional stove's heat with the
inevitable result: at the end of whisking
the sauce curdled. Nevertheless, with l
small amount of cold water and vigor
ous re-whisking it was reconstituted
.
The restaurant offered him a job whtC
he declined. .
On another trip McDaniel and so!llt
friends went to Luchow's for

YOUMI,
By Bette Taylor
Ruby attracts Walter Cronkite for the
inscrutable Chinese delicacies-he hits
the steamed fish regularly. Jacqueline's
beckons Maureen Bunyan for the fish
specialties and the chic ambiance.
Cookbook author Carol Cutler loves
sitting at the bar at Crisfield's for her
seafood meal-and watching the lines
go by for table space! lt was fitting for
food editor Bill Rice to spend his last
night in Washington before moving to
New York dining at Le Lion D'Or.
Lawyers too, like their creature com-
forts. Chub Peabody likes Gary's for
the veal. Dominique's is a preference of
Donald Dell and his lithe tennis-player
clients; he likes the ebullient atmos-
phere and a menu with so many choices!
Wes Williams can be found at the
Metropolitan Club and Joe Califano
likes the home cooking at Mel Krupin ,
especially the boiled beef.
A surpri ing number of lawyers eat
almost every day at the Lion D'Or, like
Bernie Koteen and Henry Beauregard.
Luigi's regularly beckons Bill Geimer
who "wallow " in their sausage pizza.
He also likes The Carvery in the
Mayflower for their crab alad and
ginger chicken. No snob he! Even Roy
Rogers gets his vote.
Athletes u ually go in for heavier
eating. Mel Krupins herds in Jerry
Smith and Terry Metcalfe, and Fauns-
worths in Largo, Maryland, is a favor-
ite of the Caps and Bullets players.
Lobbyist Tommy Boggs likes to
make a great first impression on his
client at the Georgetown Club. He
loves the lob ter appetizer at Mai on
Blanche and enjoys DaVinci for the
fabulous pasta dishes. Bryce Harlow
enjoys Tiberios. Bob Gray likes the
Georgetown Club-but then he helped
found it. Anna Chennault enjoys lunch-
ing in the leafy-bowered ambiance of
Twigs; so does her neighbor, Bob Dole.
Bob Linowes and Bud Doggett, and
Catharina and Liv Biddle have so many
receptions to attend they can't dine out
often but 1789 is one of their favorites
"for duck." Catharina likes Rive
Gauche for the steamed fishes and Sans
Souci and Jockey Club for seafood.
They've hit the Snuggery on Fridays for
lobster. The Biddies really appreciate
the lounge at the Kennedy Center for
little snacks like steak tartare before
concerts. Mark Russell regularly prac-
tices his renditions at Hugos; where bet-
ter to assess one's "view" of the Hill?
The artsy people in town end up
everywhere. Jane Seymour nibbles
French at Le Pavilion and Maison
Blanche has attracted Dinah Shore.
When in town, Frank Sinatra likes the
home cooking and conviviality of Pas-
quale Fiordelise's Trieste. Leontyne
Price relished her dinner in the stately
Montpelier Room recently and the
Jockey Club beckons Roger Stevens,
Ina Ginsberg and J. Carter Brown. The
Apple of Eve attracted Telly Savalas
481 February I 981 I Dossier
and Luciano Pavarotti-both sang
their praises of the venison!
Politicians chow down everywhere.
Ed Meese gives the nod to Mel Krupins,
and even ate there the same day as Zbig
Brzezinski. But Zbig refines his far
eastern binges at the Japan Inn.
Senators Long and Ribicoff both like
the horsey elegance of the Jockey Club
along with Maureen Reagan, who has
her own aspirations for the Senate.
Senator Baker prefers the stately
elegance of the Montpelier Room, and
so did former President Nixon (he ate
roast beef there recently). John Tower
perches at The Monocle on Capitol
Hill, holding court near the fireplace
and feasting on London broil. Congress-
man Dick Cheney's favorite is Ger-
maine's, where he savors the shredded
beef Szechuan. Secretary Schweiker,
new head of HHS, likes Le Pavilloil,
along with Lloyd Bentsen and majority
leader Jim Wright. Both Gary Hart and
Carolyn Kennedy have popped in to the
American Cafe for the lusty salads and
delicious soups.
The elegant green ambiance of Basil's
is attracting many congressmen. It is
destined to become the steak house of
Capitol Hill, as Bob Carr, Bob Wilson
and Jim Broyhill already know. T.heY
even serve coffee grown in the Un1ted
States (Hawaii). Hamilton Jordan eyed
the bird (quail) at the Apple of :Eve
restaurant.
Transition players like Jack
discovered Le Gaulois, and La .Maree
15
Jim Malone's favorite. Richard Ailben
. t e
has frequented the Hunt Club Jn f
Jefferson Hotel, as has SecretarY
Defense Cap Weinberger-for t e
specials like rack of lamb or eggs

dou. Both Gil Gude and John Canna.
like the true Mexican touch at
Grande-that way "Big John" doesn
miss Texas. r
This year's chic spots seem to favo
the Jockey Club, with Joy SundJund
Jayne Coyne, Candy Sommerville an
Joan Braden dining there often.
Stephens enjoys Jean-Louis for on:;
ina! specialties and Maison Blanc t
beckons the likes of Robert Trend
Jones, Ethel Kennedy and SidneY an
Evelyn Zlotnick. Anna Marie
Millian's favorite remains Le
D'Or, where she and husband Jo r
took their four-month old daughte
recently. You can never start too yodu?g

GENERAL BARROW
lieutenant and volunteered for a risky
mission in China operating against
Japanese communication lines that
formed a corridor from Hankow to
Canton. He was based in "very
beautiful country, mountainous, rugg-
ed, very underdeveloped, just south of
Chungking Lake in Hunan Province."
Heading a four-man team working with
up to 1500 Chinese guerrillas, they lived
off the land and were out of touch with
their headquarters the last eight months
of the war.
"The war was over nine days before
we got word of it," he recalls. "I had
not heard of such places as Iwo Jima
and Okinawa till well after the war."
Walking 25 to 30 miles a day for five
days, then "holing up for five or six
days in friendly Chinese farmhouses,"
Barrow became ''very pro-Chinese,''
particularly admiring the likeable and
hardworking people in the hinterlands.
"Unfortunately, most Americans only
see Chinese in the big cities," he said.
A plethora of more worldly concerns
now occupy a portion of his time. For
example, the general pondered the cur-
rent domestic dilemma of the decline of
the nation's four basic industries, auto,
steel, rail and shipbuilding, which
threatens our industrial preparedness
for defense or waging war. He acknow-
ledged the problem, one which con-
cerns him as a joint chief, and said it
had come about because government
policymakers determined to prepare
for a "short war," not requiring an in-
dustrial mobilization program. He
challenges the premise. When war
comes, "the military then comes along
and makes a demand of industry for
what it needs and wrenches industry off
its track to comply with military needs,
preventing industry from undertaking
long-term planning," he said. A
government-industry solution must be
sought, he believes, with government
taking the lead since government
created the problem in the first place.
From the Reagan administration,
Barrow hopes for "special attentive-
ness to the conventional (as opposed to
strategic) forces. The new administra-
tion seems to have a global interest and
gives increased attention to third world
problems, things that transpire outside
of NATO," he said. "They know we
are increasingly dependent on such
places. It follows that if we are to assure
our access to such places either for
reasons of alliances or resources, our
must have a security arrangement tha
provides for that sort of access whether Conti!
it is sea lines of communication or help

As the Commandant's wife, Patricia
Barrow is "on duty" practically
around the clock. While many of her
tasks fall in the "social" column, they
represent strong backup for her hus-
band and the Corps. "For example, a
coffee for ladies involved in volunteer
work for the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen
and Marines Club. Most of the things I
do aren't earthshaking, but they are
constant," she says modestly.
Her compassion and thoughtfulness
come through as she muses on the role
of women, particularly within the
Corps, as wives and as Marines
themselves.
On careers: "There are women in this
world who have such talent ... so much
to offer. They have every right to ex-
pect to be appreciated for what their
gifts are. But I think it's difficult to
combine marriage and commitment to
one man and his career with one's own
career. So I'm not really crazy about
careers as they relate to young women
who have chosen to be Marine wives.
There's a great deal they can do that
benefits their husband." Both she and
the general are supportive of the role
played by women Marines. They are
now permitted to stay in the service
when married, and maternity uniforms
are even part of the scene. When both
husband and wife are Marines, "The
Corps makes every effort to assign both
to the same base." But when a woman
Marine is married to a non-Marine,
that's a "tough" situation, she ac-
knowledges.
"In the Marine Corps in the last 10
years it's interesting to me that we've
sort of gone through the full arc of
opinion: From no babies, career-
oriented women-back to women who
marry and feel they have enough of a
career there. We have had (at the bar-
racks) six babies born of Marine wives
in the past four or five months, and in
the four years before that, you could
count on one hand the number of
babies born. "
No easy reflections, but ones to
which Patricia Barrow has obviously
given much thought.
As a humorous sidelight to a serious
subject, she pointed out the portrait
overlooking the dining table of General
Archibald Henderson, who served 39
years as Marine Commandant. "Gen-
eral Vandegrift sat right there as he an-
nounced to guests he had just signed the
order making women part of the regu-
lar Marine Corps-and Archie fell right
down off the wall," she laughed.

Yes, the sun sparkles brightly throught this four bedroom contemporary home,
lighting up the pegged floors and contemporary kitchen. It might even shine on
the double pantries and triple sinks, or on the central vacuum. It certainly
warms the redwood exterior and beams through the huge windows. It's the
type of home that's beautiful to own and delightful to live in.
Offered at $257,000.
