For at least a dozen years, Thomas
Jefferson had to be far away from his
beloved Monticello. Throughout two
terms in the White House and four
Years duty in Paris, he was unabashedly
homesick for the white-columned man-
sion with its glistening Palladian roof-
top and fertile acres surrounding it.
Later, he also yearned for the university
he had established nearby, to live up to
his ideals of equal opportunities for all.
The reader /viewer senses this bril-
liant man's devotion to home and fami -
ly, and can't but realize the sacrifices he
illade in h'is nation's behalf, when he
left behind all that he held most dear.
Bow he must have longed for terra-
cotta sunsets beyond blue mountain
ranges, for springtime furrows turned
to welcome the seeds of summer, for
snowy shadow patterns across fields
and brooks. He loved the songbirds, the
rabbits and baby deer on the farm and

Mr. Jefferson's Upland Virginia in-
troduces us to our tall, red-haired, in-
tellectual and fun-loving third Presi-

stirring words he penned for us long
ago-especially those that describe our
inalienable right for life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.

management consulting firm. Preleas
ing agreements are running higher than
the $20 figure, as much as $25, several
brokers pointed out.
There are few disputes among
brokers about the best general office
locations in Washington, D.C. TheY
agree also that the choice is subjective.
Lawyers, for example, who deal with a
specific agency like the FCC or the FTC
prefer to be as close as possible to thei r
bureaucratic opposites.
Fred Ezra, Senior Vice-President
with Julien J. Studley, Inc., provides a
succinct summary of the general pal
terns of premier office space in Wash
ington. He listed, in order of thei r
desirability, downtown, Georgetown.
the "West End" and the Pennsylvania
Avenue Corridor as prime presti ge
locations.
It's taken almost for granted among
brokers and office lessees that the
center of it all (Ezra offhandedly called
it "the center of the universe") is Con
necticut Avenue and K Street.
Neil J. Simon, vice president with
Carey Winston Co., noted that mosl
leases in the prime area average be
tween $17 to $18 per square foot ,
though "quotes are up now to $25.' '
l'he quoted price per foot is an annual
co t, payable monthly.
De cribing the area of downtown,
ezra says that 16th Street traditionally
has been the ea tern border for the be t
space, though there's been a tendency
recent ly for that boundary to move
east. The central district generally ex-
lends north and, with the Connecticut
and K center, west of the White Hou c,
bordered by Mas achusett Avenue on
the nonh, ew Hampshire Avenue on
the we t and Pennsylvania Avenue on
the outh.
But ary Lawrence, of Barne , Mor-
ris & Pardoe, note the apparent trend
or an acceptable area for office lea ing
to move ea twa rd. "I see the trend of a
ll1ovement downtown between 16th and
l ith treet and eat to Pennsylvania
venue in that whole quadrant."
The building of the Convention
Center will pur the ea tward migra-
tion he ay , foreca ting that the 16th

'golden triangle" area north and most-

Pennsylvania Avenue location, and
also that the market for Georgetown
property was deliberately diluted by the
decision of Georgetowners not to allow
subway service, a factor which all
brokers cited as a salability factor .
"Nothing compares with downtown
in terms of prestige office space,'' Ezra
says. "Basically, people who do
business downtown are going to stay
downtown."
But, he added, not everybody needs
it. "A lot of people don't want to be
downtown," he points out, referring to
the burgeoning office building com-
plexes in areas like Old Town Alexan-
dria, Bethesda and the nearby counties
where executives are closer to their
residences.
Alan Kay of Rozansky & Kay reveals

that "think tanks" of all kinds were
finding it desirable to move to the bet-
ter suburban office locations, which he
considered, in the order of their accept-
ability, Tyson's Corner, Bethesda,
Montrose Road, Arlington and Fairfax.
Computer firms, associations and
other types of firms have recently
moved there, rather than downtown.
Kay calls the corner of Old George-
town Road and Wisconsin Avenue, a
half block from the subway, the busiest
intersection in Bethesda. He points out
that a building on the corner being built
by Rozansky & Kay will bring a price of
$13 per square foot, but that a building
scheduled for leasing in the 1983
market is expected to bring a price
closer to $17 per square foot.
Donald Brown, a partner with J.B.G.
Associates, is currently leasing Court-
house Square in Old Town Alexandria.
"Typically," he says, "suburban of-
fices don't have the same quality as
downtown." But Courthouse Square
appeals to those who appreciate tradi
tiona! architecture.
The building has been done with the
same quality as a building downtown.
including a marble lobby.
"I think the thing that makes il
special is that it's in the center of Old
Town," he says, noting that space is
leased in the building for $12 to $14 per
square foot.
Neil Simon lists the primary suburbS
as the Tyson's Corner area of F a i r f a ~
County, followed closely by Bethesda
He said that office space in the Tyson' s
area ran from $11 .50 per square foot 10
$13.50, and that space in the besl
Bethesda locations costs from $11 .50 to
$12.50 per square foot. To many, the
suburban locations are equally pres
tigious especially to long-term Wash
ington area residents.
Scott Ross, vice president of
Donohoe Construction, offers a sub
jective view of what gives an office
building prestige. "It's a combination
of the air, the crispness of the design.
the quality that goes into it." Accord
ing to Ross, quality is reflected in such
areas as the style and decor of tht
elevator and the types of retail outlets
that surround the entrance to the
building.
"You can't rule out areas like
Capitol Hill with a view. Anything with
a view of the Capitol demands a higher
dollar. Just like anything within throw
ing distance of the White House," saY
Jim Eichberg with Braedon CompanY
"If it overlooks a park downtown
(such as the office of well-known
lawyer Edward Bennett Williams,
whose office overlooks Farragul
Square) or any of the monuments, then
it's a plus," offers Jay D. Franklin

larts of Washington. Her desk is

Ushioned chairs around a glass-topped
able-and is made of well-polished
shaped in a wide oval and sup-
lorted by bright silver legs.
On two walls are reflections of her
tigh-level government past: pictures

high-ranking members of the
lustice Department (she was United
;tates assistant attorney general before

tppointments to the Department of
lustice and as secretary of HUD. In the
lffice is her cabinet chair, a traditional
for a department cabinet officer.
"I've come a full circle. I'm back to
loing what I was before," she said with

lartner in a law firm soon after she

Her husband Roderick, who served

tdministration, is also a partner in the

amount of work in New York and

Though she works primarily out of
her office in Washington, the work
takes her often outside the city. "I
travel very frequently to California and
elsewhere. Tomorrow, I leave for New
York. Wednesday I'll be in San Fran-
cisco. Thursday in Los Angeles. Friday
in San Diego, then back here."
There are 13 attorneys currently in
the Washington office of the firm, one
of the largest in California.
"If you understand government, and
you have established credentials, then
you can render a service," she pointed
out.
She said that her life, "from an exter-
nal point of view," lacks the attention
and the glamor of a member of the cab-
inet, "in terms of contact with people
like the president, and other cabinet of-
ficers. That's the external point of view.

Law in Washington is different, also,
from law elsewhere, she added. "The
questions often involve policy nuances
in addition to legal tangles. You get a
third dimension. It's very common to
have a difficult legal problem that has,
in addition to it, a policy nuance that
may be a compHcating factor," she ex-
plained.
She has experienced many differ-
ences between her new role as lawyer
and her old role as a cabinet officer.

f you believe the girl behind the
Woodie's cosmetics counter-and
it's hard to imagine such a shining,
blemish-free face lying to you-then
you'll accept it when she tells you that
more and more of her customers are
men buying products for themselves.
And before you raise an unplucked
eyebrow, take a look around the counter
at the array of lotions and creams for
men.
Yes, men's cosmetics (a term the in-
dustry assiduously avoids) has become
big business here in Washington, as it
has elsewhere around the country. It's
already one of America's biggest growth
industries, producing highly profitable
returns for such formerly distaff houses
as Chane!, Estee Lauder, Irma Shorell
and Clinique.
Only a few short years ago cosmetics
for men were the exclusive province of
the gay community. But in the late
1970's -and primarily during the past
three years-the straights have come
out of the closet. They're in the bath-
room now, laden with shaving gels,
aftershaves, moisturizers, scruffing lo-
tions, astringents and skin creams-all
purported to hide wrinkles, soften skin,
retard aging and replace lost moisture.
Whatever it takes for the American
IJ'BE
male to look young. How young?
Somewhere between teenage acne and
that first sag under the eye.
Although they won't reveal any
figures, the cosmetics houses, most of
which are privately owned, do admit
that men's sales are booming. They
concede their men's products are still
only a fraction of the women-domin-
ated business, but they confidently
predict a very healthy future, despite
current economic woes. Candy
Neiman, the cosmetics manager at
Bloomingdale's at Tyson's Corner,
says she's seen a forty percent sales
growth in just the past six months.
"The growth has been phenomenal,
but this is just the tip of the iceberg."
She adds that Bloomingdale's is now
giving more store area to men's skin
products. "The lines are selling well,"
she says, "and men are slowly getting
into treatment, too. But going beyond
moisturizer is still very daring for
them." Liz Wozniak of Aramis' says
about seventy percent of men "are still
not ready to accept skin care, although
it is becoming okay to pay attention to
yourself." Aramis is so confident
about the trend toward men's skin care,
it has three brands on the market-
Aramis, Aramis 900 and Devin. She
by David E. Hubler
sees aggressive sales trends on the East
and West Coasts and throughout the
sun-belt area.
And it's the same all over Washing
ton. David Milbrandt of Garfinckel's
attributes the industry's takeoff to men
getting over what he calls "the
psychological barrier" of treating their
skin. Three or four years ago, he points
out, you wouldn't see a man sit down at
a cosmetics counter and ask about hiS
skin. "But as men have become more
aware of their appearance, they realize
these products are aids, and they decide
to use them."
At the Key West Shop in White Flint,
manager Joyce Kearney judges that one
third of her sales now are to men,
although she admits their initial reac
tion is resistance. Key West features
compounds containing aloe, a tropical
medicinal plant used for centuries to
treat burns and skin ulcers . It is also a
popular moisturizer. Joyce says hef
male customers often are reticent at
first because they know only the tradi
tiona! male products-shaving crea!TI.
aftershave and deodorant. But, she
adds, many men who purchase the
small sizes initially come back for the
larger sizes. "I can't ever remember a
man returning something. They just
don't do it." She says she reorders her
men's lines about twice a month. Her
stock turn over every sixty days.
Joyce is somewhat of a marketing
analyst when it comes to drawing up a
composite picture of her White Flint
men. "The typical man who uses skin
care products is confident, decisive,
does well in business, and he knows
who he is." He is somewhere between
his late 20's and mid 50's, has a high in-
come, and "he makes quick decisions.
A man finds a product he likes, he
sticks with it. It becomes part of his
self-image."
Candy Neiman says the typical
Bloomingdale's male is between 35 and
55, usually a professional type. She also
sees many airline personnel because of
the excessive dryness of commercial
airliners. Joyce says she rarely sells to
overweight men. "All the men custo-

mers seem to be the athletic type, into
some sport or another. That's the op-
posite of women. Overweight women
love cosmetics and scents."
The jargon of the trade demands that
you distinguish between skin care prod-
ucts, the alleged fountains of youth,
and the "scents," the aftershaves, col-
ognes and the fragrance shampoos.
Most manufacturers are very careful
not to include even the slightest hint of
mint or lime or whatever in their men's
skin care lines. The smelly stuff is okay
for aftershaves, but no macho man
worth his hard-milled soap would be
caught smelling from his cleanser! The
fragrances serve another purpose too.
Like the Sirens luring sailors to the
shoals, the "scents" lure the buyer
toward newer and costlier grooming
products by capitalizing on consumer
identification. The old ushers in the
new sans fragrance.
One of the few firms to deal exclu-
sively with the face is Clinique. Gloria
Plaut is quick to admit that the only dif-
ference between her firm's products for
men and women is that the men's line is
a bit stronger, because a man's skin is
tougher. Gloria says men traditionally
have drier skin than women, but at the
same time they have fewer skin prob-
lems because shaving helps remove the
dead skin cells from the face, a pro-
cedure women help along by scruffing
with an abrasive.
Clinique, like other men's skin care
manufacturers, sticks very close to
what is called a basic regimen. Men are
used to showering, shaving and an
aftershave. So most products for men
are designed to fit into a man's routine
without adding extra time.
Irma Shorell's husband, H. Allen
Lightman, explains that a man gets into
skin care "when it's simple and
straight, and when it fits in with his nor-
mal routine." Light man estimates that
a man spends three to four minutes
each morning and evening before the
bathroom mirror. That's why, he says,
Irma Shorell products for men feature a
shave cream/ skin cleanser and an after-
shave that has a skin conditioner added
to it. "We also found that men do not
like to use jars-too similar to women's
cosmetics. So we package ours in tubes
and plastic bottles. That way there's no
stigma." If you can't have a stigma in
the privacy of your own bathroom,
where can you?
Clinique's Gloria Plaut says the
men's line was introduced in December
1976. "There was no advertising, no
promotions. We wanted to see where its
place was in the market. And it took off
about two years ago." But Lightman
traces the beginnings of men's groom-
ing products to the advent of suntan lo-
tion used visibly on the beach. Once a
man found that he could slop on the
grease and not arouse a sea of shoreline
snickers, he quickly moved on to other
grooming aids-hair creams, after-
shaves and now face and body prepara-
tions. Lightman claims many Holly-
wood stars and Washington politician
are devoted skin care users. He mention-
ed the late Gary Cooper, Tony Curtis
and Martin Balsam, but when pre sed
to share the intimate secrets of Capitol
Hill, he demurred. "Someofthosepeo-
ple wouldn't like it to get around. It's
an image thing, you know." It seems
our legislators believe it's okay to share \
power, but not powder, with women.
Aides to Senators William Cohen,
Now comes a good "scruff"

Clinique to tighten the pores
and refine the skin.
William Proxmire and John Warner
were quite in istent that their bosses use
nothing on their face, not even a little
moisturizer after a long hot, arid floor
debate. And two of Washington' best
known newsmen were equally unreserved
in their replies. W JLA Channel 7's
David Shoumacher says he uses
nothing but Dial soap-"and a little
Powder to cut the glare on my high
forehead when I'm on camera." But
men's skin care products don't surprise
him. "In a town like this, where there is
so much profiling, you'd expect a lot of
men to use the stuff."
Gordon Peterson of WDVM Channel
9 uses the same regimen. "The makeup
guy puts a little powder on my fore-
head. Other than that, I don't use
anything. When I'm out sai ling I use

probably why l have so many
wrinkles," he adds quickly.
Yet despite booming sales and grow-
ing acceptance, don't expect to see
men's skin care products advertised
much in the major men's magazines. It
just ha n't happened. At Chane! a
spokeswoman explained: "Our adver-
tising philosophy is sedate, under-
stated-laid back if you will." Chane!
does some promotional work at the
stores-Bloomingdale's, Woodward &
Lothrop, Garfinckel's. But the
spokeswoman said "we rely on our
established lines to create customer
recognition for new product . And we
don't come out with products too
often. Lightman says Irma Shorell
wants to sell to both men and women.
"With costs what they are today, we
have to get the most out of our advertis-
ing dollar. We have to go with the
magazine_s that reach both sexes."
What all this means of course is that
it's st ill the woman who knows what's
what when it comes to those squeeze
bottles and tubes, and that's where the
advertising dollar will be spent.
If you think wading through the
brand names is a chore, try separating
the moisturizers with soluble collagen
and sodium ribonucleic acid from clari-
fying lotion with SO alcohol 40, puri-
fied water, witch hazel, etc. and face
conditioner with walnut oil, octyl
dimethyl paba, myristyl myristate and
several other equally impressive names.
But before you run over to Georgetown
University for a refresher course in
chemistry, li sten to what one of the
area's most prominent dermatologists
has to say.
"There's a good deal of mythology
about ski n care these days," says Dr.
William Narva. He is a professor and
chairman of the department of derma-
tology at the Uniformed Services
University School of Medicine,
Bethesda. And he is the consultant to
the White House and Congressional
physicians. "Basically, good skin
comes from being genetically blessed
with it at birth. It's just one of
thousands of predetermined genet ic
traits."
Dr. Narva notes that the proces by
which the skin rejuvenates itself and
gets rid of it dead cell is called
keratinization. "Dead cells come off
naturally, as imperceptible dust." Skin
"ages" because it loses its elasticity-a
process that is speeded up by ultraviolet
radiation. Normally, the darker the
ski n, the greater the barrier there i to
ultraviolet radiation and the slower the
lo of kin cia ticity. Dr. Narva e -
plain that the oil- creting ebac ou
glands, the weat gland , and the elastic
fibers of the kin are all located below
the epidermal layer of kin. Many prod-
ucts, he say , don't penetrate thi layer.
Thus, Dr. Narva explain , 'a lot of
called kin care i an optical illu ion."
Which, a many of tho e interviewed
eemed to suggest is the point of the ex-
ercise. As for endorsing the u e of over-
the-counter product , he demurs. ' If it
doesn't harm you, fine." Many men
who have tried the new product think
they look and feel better. That, after
all, ha a great deal to do with the
phenomenal uccess of the cosmetic
industry. Judging from the copiou
amount of male vanity encountered in
Washington, one can expect to see the
masculine cosmetic indu try spurt
ahead in the year to come. 0

SAVORING THE CULINARY JOYS
OF A COUNTRY INN
A
country inn on a lazy summer's
evening can be both a delightful
change of pace and a sanctuary.
If the food is good, then you've got a
Welcome bonus.
A wonderful whitewashed nook out
of Provence can be found in Great Falls
at L' Auberge Chez Francois. Francois
liaeringer and his family take great
care in creating the bustling rustic am-
bience. There's a two-week wait on
reservations.
With an ever-changing menu, de-
Pending on freshness, offering such
items as succulent rabbit casserole and
soft-shelled crabs. A choice from the
lavish homemade dessert table, dis-
Played at the entrance is worth that ex-
tra effort, and the wine list is carefully
chosen. The cuisine is "honest." To a
that translates into 'ter-
rific,' especially for the customer.
Evans Farm Inn, 1696 Chain Bridge
Rd., McLean, Va., is a charming,
homey restaurant in colonial trappings
that sits on a farm where they grow
many of the fresh vegetables served. It
has been a family favorite for 22 years,
but don't let those cozy dining rooms
With colonial pottery fool you-they
served 2,600 dinners last Mother's Day!
A copious salad bar with homemade
relishes and jams awaits the hungry
diner, with starters like Eastern Shore
crab soup served by help in colonial
garb. Smithfield ham or roast duckling,
tender with a lively orange sauce, are
apt choices joined by specials like a
tenderloin steak and quail combina-
tion. The delectable spoon bread
shouldn't be missed, and you'll find a
large selection of carefully chosen
wines from which to choose.
Owner Ralph Evans touts the down-
stairs Sitting Duck Pub as well, where
only choice labels of liquor are served.
It's a fine place for warm Sunday
brunches and heady late night Irish
coffee.
The Hunter's Inn, Potomac Village,
Md., and 9834 Georgetown Pike, Va.,
is entirely different. A rustic bar belies
the airy dining room, which features
rust and green chintz Bentwood chairs
in a brick and wood paneled decor.
Owner Naval Mehra emphasizes fresh-
ness throughout his menu and offers
both value and originality. The snails,
for instance, are cloaked in a little
casserole, doffing a cap of puff pastry
to seal in their garlicky fragrance.
Curried lamb shank is another unusual
entree-the fresh-made curry is authen-
tically fiery! Fresh rockfish or aged
steaks with a lively salad bar and
courteous professional service bring the
clientele back, many from nearby Con-
gressional Country Club in Potomac or
a leisurely breakfast at Hunter's Inn in Great Falls, Va. , are members of
he Fairfax Hunt (I tor) John Sanders, Isabel Davidov and Rand Rouse.

the horse farms near his new inn in
Great Falls.
Mr. Mehra likes the "stability" of
the suburbs and is proud of the fact that
his repeat customers eat there as often
as three times a week!
Nearby Poolesville sports The Mea-
dowlark, an unpretentious white clap-
board house filled with colonial charm.
Trudie Zirpolo enthusiastically mans
the dining room while husband Michael
cooks some extraordinary offerings .
The rooms are homey with early Amer-
ican ornaments and crockery. Wait-
resses in colonial garb cheerfully assist.
One automatically receives a relish
tray and crackers, and cheese dip-
highlighted with horseradish, cottage
and cheddar cheeses. If you are coming
in from the heat, try the pickled her-
ring, piled high on the plate, or the lusty
chicken liver pate.
The Blair Mansion Inn, 7711 Eastern
Ave., near the Maryland line in Silver
Spring, is a stately mansion built in the
late 1800's. The dark orange walls of
the dining rooms are contrasted by
hunter green floral curtains and match-
ing tablecloths. The Clams Casino are
an especially good beginning, but time
marches on, and some things have
changed. The marvelous salad bar of
yesteryear is now a memory (though the
dinner salad is fresh and good), and
though the menu says " Roast Duck
Chesapeake ... served in casserole"
the entree now comes for you to carve.
It's not nearly as tender. Crab Imperial
is a great success, creamy and sparked
by pimentos. Homemade apple fritters
served alongside entrees are still a treat!
The players may come and go, but
Old Angler's Inn, 10801 MacArthur
Blvd., in Potomac, Md., always stays
the same. It's a lovely drive out there,
as evening brings refreshing coolness,
and the inn remains a picturesque and
romantic stop. Cushy sofas downstairs
soften the effect of the hefty cocktails
served.
The upstairs dining room has atmos-
phere, if not elegance, but the service
more than compensates. Try to reserve
the seat at the window to enjoy the calm
scenery while sampling the house pate
or tasty Caesar salad. The "Rack of
Lamb for Two"-tender lamb fragrant
with rosemary-surrounded by a pleth-
ora of fresh cooked vegetables, is truly
a reason to trek out there. Lobster tails
are very popular as well, and the wine

A for growth in demand, Franklin
say that there currently "i a vacancY

which is extremely low. Generally, in
Wa hington, we carry about a three
percent margin of unrented pace
available for occupancy right now. It'
incredibly tight, if a tenant i in the
market now. For future occupancy.
there is space available," he adds.
Simon, with Carey Winston, elabo
rate : "l can't compare anything with
what I've seen in the last four years.
People are doing wild thing out
there," an example of which, he says,
was the leasing by one firm of 10,000
square feet of office space to get I ,500
square feet of space the firm needed
The company then subleased the re
maining 8,500 square feet of space.
"Rents in the proven downtown
market are going to be far in exce of
$20 a square foot," Jeff Cohen ay
"There's such a pent-up demand for
office pace that we haven't met much
re i tance. It's still a landlord's market .
There are different types of deal s todal
than were being made a year ago."
While office condominiums are not
yet proliferating, Milt Scheiderman.
President of the Panache Builder
Inc., points out that the condo method
enables smaller users of office space to
purchase their space and get all the
benefits of home ownership, like
breaks and appreciation.
Scheiderman's group is currentlY
selling the first condominium office
building in Montgomery County, Thf
Executive Building at Executive
Boulevard and Montrose Road. Price
run about $120 a square foot and th
space is especially attractive to smaller
users in the I ,000 to 4,000 foot cate
gory. He reports that the first section i
9007o sold out. It is a joint venture witll
the Berger-Berman Group.
Irwin Altman, executive vice pre i

area i "practically anywhere."

1
Wax ecstatic about some of the individ-
Ual offices created by their client .
A.mong those mentioned were: the office
or attorney Leonard Melrod at 1801 K
St., N. W. ("What Hollywood would
say an office should be," says Bran-
nock); the office of Foley, Lardner,
Hollabaugh and Jacobs, a law firm, at
18th and Pennsylvania Ave.; the offices
or Arnold and Porter at 1200 New
Hampshire Ave.; the office of Norman
Singer, a lawyer at Watergate, whose
View overlook the Potomac; the of-
fices of the U.S. League of Savings &
Loans at 1709 New York Ave., over-
looking the area from the Corcoran
Gallery to National Airport; the ex-
ecutive offices of the Charles E. Smith
Company in Crystal City; and many
rnore too numerous to cite.
' Most of the better office buildings
have underground parking,
sophisticated heating and air condi-
tioning systems normally operating
from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. One broker men-
tioned that more offices today are be-
ing designed with saunas, private
r bathrooms with showers, elaborate
lounge areas and whirlpool baths.
ln addition to the height limi t on
buildings in Washington, D.C., there
also is a built-in limitation on interior
1 space as well .
"There must be a course in law
School that says a lawyer must have a
Window," one broker opined.
Because of that demand for direct
e light, those in the business of building
and leasing prestigious buildings know
better than to include an over abun-
y dance of interior floor space. If it gets
e too spacious, there will be too many of-
e fices without windows, and executives

to the Maryland county . Mo l recently,
Blair Lee I II wa Lt. Governor and then
acting Governor of Maryland.
A Lee wa largely re pon ible for
per uading ongress to l ocate the
capital here. So close were the Blair to
President Abraham Lincoln that it was
at Blair House that Lincoln offered the
command of the Union armie to
Robert E. Lee.
The Blairs have been Jacksonian
Democrat , Free Sailers, Republican
and after the Civil War, Democrat
again. General Frank Blair wa the
Democrat ' un ucces ful candidate for
the Vice-Presidency in 1868. Whether
in or out of favor with the White
House, they continued to produce
general s, admirals, cabinet officer ,
tate men and men of letter , and their
womenfolk et the ocial tone of their
day. In thi century, it wa Gi st Blair
who collected the valuable paper or
family hi tory and restored Blair Hou e
to its early splendor.
Thi s book is admirably suited to the
role the State Department has chosen
for it - as a gift to be presented to
heads of state and important visitors to
the presidential guesthouse. On the
other hand, it is no mere coffeetable
book. It s wealth of detail about
political and ocial Washington a it
relate to thee two founding familie
make it interesting reading for
Americans too. -DOROTHY MARK

Fine Art from the Univer ity of Ma -

the team of nine arti t in charge of the
creation of the engaging little charac-
ter . Other teams work on et , prop ,
special effect and painting.' Our work
take a lot of talent, kill and vi ual
perception. While we ha e prototype
for all the character , each one i
created free hand. An e perien ed ar-
ti t works from 4 to 8 hour on uch a
character. But newcomer may pend
from 1 to 3 day on Deacon, the
'mu hrat,' or Porky, the prickly por-
cupine." Ziller, formerly an arti t-in-
re idence in Wilmington where he in-
structed retarded children in the art of
printmaking, wa fortunate in a sem-
bling a team composed of three
culptors trained at George Wash-
ington Univer ity, an art tudent from
the Corcoran, a cartooni t, who tarted
out asap ychologi t at Georgetown, a
ceramicist, and other talented people.
"Due to the fact that thi method of
animation ha never been attempted in
a full-length motion picture in
America, everybody is learning on the
job," Ziller explains. Her favo rite
character is Churchy the Turtle.
There are problem , of cour e. The
hot klieg light tend to melt the mini-
movie stars. "They just about make it
through one scene," explains Stephen
Chiodo, director of animation. "Al-
though some of them can be recycled
and resculpted. We have used up hun-
dreds of Alberts, the alligator, who
dreams of becoming a hi ghranking of-
ficial, and Pogos in the proce of ani-
mation which involve continuou
handling under the hot lights before the
camera."
The staff works in air-conditioned
st udios to keep their character from
losing shape. Stephen hiodo and hi
brother Charles, the production's art
director who wa spirited away from
ABC's art department, have been with
Stowmar virtually since its beginning
in 1976. While the imaginative harte
graduated from the Pratt In titute,
Stephen earned hi degree in photo-
graphic illu tration from the Roche ter

picture making is being t aught.

with wire armature characters, won
first prize in CINE's amateur division
in 1976 and became the American
award winning entry at the Cannes Film
Festival that year. Stephen worked
closely with Walt Kelly's widow, Selby,
in the transformation of the comic strip
characters into three-dimensional
form.
"Animators are like actors," he
muses. "You have to get the feel of
your characters and what they do.
Above all, it takes practice. Eventually
one builds up a whole repertoire of
movements. There are a thousand indi-
vidual scenes. And all of them need to
be precise to make an impact and to be
funny.''
It takes a trained eye to conceptualize
and to create the smooth refined move-
ments characteristic of full-animation
in the round. That some of this preci-
sion work becomes routine at times is
readily admitted by this creative crew.
Yet all agree that the occasional bouts
with boredom are forgotten the minute
they see the rushes. "It's exhilarating to
see your characters come alive. You
laugh. Part of the excitement is that
you see the results of your efforts
almost immediately,'' Stephen
observes.
The rushes with their colorful fan-
tasyland settings and whimsical touches
are breathtakingly beautifuL They re-
mind you of viewmaster pictures at
their best. The thrill of seeing their
figures walk, jump, strut and talk with
the voices of Jonathan Winters, who
does the fat power-hungry Mole, and of
Ruth Buzzi, who lends her metallic
voice to the frenchified skunk
Mam'zelle Hepzibah, or the famed
snarls of Vincent Price, who delivers
the evil Deacon's lines, carries their
creators through the trials and tribula-
tions of the difficult art of animation.
The other thrill is the involvement in a
pioneering project, the first feature
film of its kind, a folksy, somewhat
political satire that is likely to be seen in
every major movie house.
When Mark Chinoy embarked on
this singular, 90-minute movie produc-
tion he had the enthusiastic support of
his energetic partner Kerry Stowell,
president of the animation film firm
that combines their names.
"I read about Mark's new mode of
animation experiments and decided to
get in touch with him." Mrs. Stowell, a
New Yorker who loves Washington and
lives here, was publishing educational
children's books at the time. "I wanted
to try my hand at video and in movie

production," he recall . She did.
Stowmar was founded and a number of
Flexiform short were produced. A
9 minute pilot for the National Wildlife
Federation entitled "Ranger Rick," a
well a indu trial film , commercial
for ACCO and Shell Oil, and pecial
animation for Paramount's production
of "Star Trek," provided a promi ing
start.
"Our problem was to find the right
property," Stowell remember . "One
night during dinner Pogo came up in
our conversation. The next evening we
had dinner with Walt Kelly's widow.
That was two years ago."
What was so special about Pogo?
"Two thing , " Mark Chinoy shoots
back. "Kelly's line drawings suit our
system."
"And the quality of the project.
Pogo has something to say," continues
Stowell: "It's decent entertainment and
great fun. Pogo i American folklore.
There is a kindheartednes and humani-
ty. It's Americana, pure Doonesbury
with a positive outlook, and very
political."
Talking to the movie' producer and
its director i like talking to identical
twins. In their enthusiasm they are of
one mind and not ju t about Pogo.
Chinoy wrote the script and directed
the film story which i a composite of
various segments of Kelly's strip .
"It doe link up nicely with this
pre idential year," Chinoy remarks
with a broad smile. It took him six
months to complete the cript. "I tried
to remain a true to the original as such
a transition permits. While the ba ic
structure is not changed, certain
characters became stronger a we went
along," he add .
Production costs are under $2 mil-
lion. United Arti t is in charge of mer-
chandizing. "Anything Snoopy has,
Pogo will get," Stowell mile . Thi
means T-shirt , coa ter , toy , the
whole work and, naturally, a View-
rna ter serie .
If all goes well, grand opening in
Wa hington, Los Angeles and New
York are cheduled for Augu t or Sep-
tember. Judging by the completed eg-
ments seen during CBS' "Fabulou
Funnies," Pogo ha all the earmark of
uccess. It' whim ical, down to earth
with a touch of sophi tication, and tru-
ly three-dimen ional. The result is a
richer and fuller look than the tradi -
tional Di ney tyle cell animation has
been able to produce.

LETIERS TO THE EDITOR
I am somewhat taken back by the
article on Ocean City, Maryland, in the
April issue of Washington Dossier. pat
McNees evidently has not spent enough
time here to voice her opinion that it is
"basically a honky tonk town".
By definition, from Webster's NeW
Collegiate Dictionary, "hanky tonk" is
defined cheap and/or sleazy. I would
hate to think that the 3 million people
who visit our city each year are con
sidered to be cheap and sleazy. Many of
those people are your readers.
One only has to spend a few days
here to realize its beauty and unique
ness. It offers over ten miles of
beautiful beach and bathing, and three
miles of boardwalk for the whole
family to enjoy. It has an abundance of
fine hotels, motels and restaurants,
plus top entertainment and dancing in
our many night spots.
