January 1982 Washington Dossier

There are a precious few chosen places in the world where nature has combined the elements to create a gem and artisans have polished it to perfection. Where the sun always smiles from azure skies, where the sea is clear and warm, where the morning sunrise over the mountains marks the joy and exuberance of a new day, and its slow dip below the horizon at dusk denotes the restful end. Where every day offers a tempting buffet of things to enjoy, whether golf or tennis, sailing or swimming, dining out with friends ... or just lazing at the pool.

All, literally, at your doorstep.

'

One of these favored places is Kaanapali beach, on the island of Maui.

There, a luxurious new world-class condominium, the Kaanapali Alii, is rising on a lushly landscaped site. On the one side, rising above a championship golf course, are the spectacular formations of the West Maui mountains; on the other, the golden sands of Kaanapali beach and the blue Pacific. Only 264 owners in all the world will be able to enjoy this unmatched lifestyle.

If the world is your oyster, Kaanapali Alii can be the pearl.

The Educated Palate

Washington today is an excellent city for dining out, its finest restaurants as reputable as those in cities traditionally known for fme eating - New Orleans, San Francisco and New York.

In 1981, a number of restaurants that deserve the attention of sophisticated diners opened their doors. You should know about them.

WOODWARD &LOTHROP

Never has a president and his first lady come to Washington with as much Hollywood fanfare, public pizzazz and critical expectation as Ronald and Nancy Reagan. From the minute they moved in, it was as if they made all the White House a stage, and the cabinet, staff and other heads of state all the players in an ongoing drama too big for the silver screen. Iranian crisis. Reaganomics. The sinister assassination attempt. A union busted.

In-house squabbles. And nuclear hobnobbing with the Soviets. Whether the presidenes old western sheriff style is ultimately successful or not in unwinding the tangle of domestic and international problems, this much is certain - he,s trying with simplicity, sternness, good humor and a lot of heart. The values that built America.

If the president has a kitchen cabinet, Lyn Nofziger is its head chef though the trusted political advisor is said to be weary of the Washington ruckus.

(Above) Inevitably, the forgotten man in Washington is the vicepresident, but George Bush bas maintained both a social and political visibility, such as at his inaugural reception at the Museum of American History.

(Below) No sooner had Caspar Weinberger taken charge of the Defense Department than he ran into dean of the diplomatic corps, Soviet Ambassador Anatoliy Dobrynin, who has represented his country in Washington since 1962. The administration's "get tough" policy with the Soviets manifested itself immediately by prohibiting Dobrynin's limo from using the VIP entrance to the State Department.

THE YEAR IN PICilJRES In a year of firsts, President Reagan appointed one woman to the Supreme Court only months after selecting another to be U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Although the White House maintains a conservative policy towards ERA, women still hold responsible positions in major agencies, on Washington stages and in the offices of the White House.

; Sandra Day O'Connor became female Supreme Court justice when the court reconvened in October. All Washington was immediately charmed by the lady justice and crowds swarmed receiving lines to meet her. Here, hostess Nancy Thurmond introduces O'Connor to D.C.'s ftrst lady, Effie Barry.

When Washington's own Hanne Merriman became president of Garfmckel's, she joined an elite corps of women in the U.S. who are heads of major retail corporations. With her on her 40th birthday is her husband Richard, William Detweiller (right), chairman and chief executive of Garfmckel's, and David Waters (left), former chairman of the corporation.

For the past year, Marta lstomin has set the artistic policies for music, opera and dance at the Kennedy Center. In programming, her focus has been to include American artists within the center's traditional framework of presenting international talents.

~~

Former Federal Trade Commission chairman Elizabeth Dole gave up her position to help her husband, Robert, ~paign for the presidential nomination. After the election, her talents were sought again,and she is now assistant public liaison to President Reagan.

Among the select group of 100 senators, two are women. Florida's Senator Paula Hawkins (left) was elected during the Reagan Republican sweep of 1980, while Senator Nancy Kassebaum won her Kansas seat in 1978. Both are serving their first term.

THE YEAR IN PICIURES Suddenly on the outside looking in, Democrats stepped back in 1981 to reassess themselves after a tension-packed four years of wrestling with world crises and worldly Republicans.

Once again the phenomenal teeter-totter of American politics that regularly giveth and taketh away dumped them from the executive mansion, and even more rudely stripped them of their Senate stronghold for the first time in almost three decades. For the loyal opposition, it was a year to rebuild, to fight the odds and plot to change them, a year to wait for the first chance to say, "we told you so."

(Above) Democratic heavyweights rallied in November to celebrate elder statesman Averell Harriman's 90th birthday. Senator Ted Kennedy took the opportunity to talk with Pam Harriman, the guest of honor and Ethel Kennedy.

(Left) Former vice president Walter Mondale claims it's too early to announce his intentions, but there's little doubt he and his wife, Joan, will make a run for the White House in 1984.

(Above) Averell Harriman's birthday party at the Hilton was a morale boost for Democratic leadership, attracting party heads such as Tip O'Neill, Lady Bird Johnson, Clark Clifford and James Wright.

THE YEAR 1N PICilJRES Because budget-slashing greatly reduced federal support of the arts, the corporate world was called upon to become the new arts patron. In the future, curtain calls will come only for arts organizations who successfully solicit help of businesses seeking to improve their public image. But while many arts institutions spent the year scrambling to find alternative funding, a few Washington artists achieved unprecendented national acclaim.

Several organizations had notable birthdays and others embraced the new professionalism the president advised.

The founder and managing director of the Washington Performing Arts Society, Patrick Hayes, announced that in May 1982 he will assume a more relaxed emeritus Position after 40 years of being Washington's leading impresario.

Before the gathering of corporate support was made fashionable by the Reagan cuts, Executive Director Frankie Hewitt developed a network of political and corporate leaders to raise funds for Ford's Theatre. Co-chairs Joy Baker and Millie O'Neill helped garner support of businessmen who peppered the festival audience in March. They enjoyed a star-studded performance which included Jack Klugman and Linda Carter. At the opening, President and Mrs. Reagan were also on stage.

Not totally unresponsive to the financial needs of the arts, President Ronald Reagan established a cultural task force, initiated by acWith its 10 week 1981-82 schedule, the Washington Opera premiered the tor Charlton Heston (above) and longest opera season ever hosted in the Nation's Captial- 57 performances dedicated to encouraging private of seven productions.

THE YEAR IN PICTURES What's interesting about a media town like Washington is that from time to time, and perhaps too often, the media itself becomes the story. Last year was no exception.

From the Post's bogus feature by Janet Cooke about an eight-year-old heroin addict to the sad demise of the Star, the standards, processes and profits of news reporting continued to make news.

(Left) The fall of the Star shocked everyone, even Betty Beale, the newspaper's longtime syndicated gossiper who always seemed to be within earshot of Washington society. Here, she opens the door on a conversation between Nancy Reynolds and Nancy Reagan.

(Below) In 1981, Katharine Graham had more to smile about as chairman of the board of the only newspaper in town.

(Above) An "old timer" at the Star, Mary McGrory was one of several Washington columnists hired by the Pos! for its expanded Op-Ed section.

THE YEAR IN PlcmRES Dateline: Washington That dateline appears in more frontpage stories thoughout the world than any other.

Because Washington is the capital of the free world, it also is the news center of the world. Whether corrupt, controversial or compassionate, the thoughts and actions of the powerful in this city motivate and influence war and peace. They determine the fate of individuals, corporations and even other nations. And it's never more apparent than when a new administration attempts to shift gears.

In contrast, former co-chair of the Republican Party, Mary Crisp, now a political consultant, is vehemently certain in her response: "In terms of women, we have a very devastating picture. There is a lack of women in major policy-making positions, as well as a strong stance against abortion, ERA and the forward progress of women." She preferred to talk of the future: "We're seeing a great mobilization of women's votes and the 1982 election will not be favorable to anyone connected with the administration. I also hope there will come a greater emphasis on peace and the reduction of nuclear arms," added Crisp.

With a new Republican majority in the Senate, Larry Pressler, the young and sometimes pivotal senator from South Dakota, isn't alone in registering approval of Reagan efficiency.

"He knows his stuff and so does she," said the senator. "They really Work at the details of the job. What's more, he's definitely not a 9 to 5 guy.

The president has called me at 8 o'clock in the morning and also at 10 o'clock at night ... including once on a weekend when I was flying over Minnesota and he tracked me down from his plane.''

But on the House side, where Democrats still dominate, everyone doesn't agree that the president ''knows his stuff." After months of carrying on legislative warfare against the president's programs, House Speaker Tip O'Neill is starting to win some battles. ''The good guys are starting to come back on the Hill," says the tenacious Democrat. "It's ~ike a dark cloud that has been hang~ng low over the Capitol is finally liftlOg and the light is shining through."

"Favorite Guest " columnist Art Buchwald, when queried as to his Opinion, said with an irreverent chuckle, "We owe the president a Vote of thanks! Washington is now an entirely different city. Before Reagan, we were a small town. No ~ne had ever heard of us before, and e Put Washington on the map! Now, ;hen I go someplace like Reading, ennsylvania, and say I'm from ~ashington, they know immediately. ha~ never happened under any other President.,

Nancy Dickerson, svelte executive producer of the Television Cc rporation of America, was most impressed with the president's communications know-how. "He's the best on television that we've ever had in the White House," she commented. "One year later, an awful lot of people are proud to be Americans again."

But Ray Scherer, Washington vicepresident for RCA, doesn't entirely agree: "As a one-time White House correspondent, I am surprised he hasn't made better use of the presidential news conference," Scherer said. "He is very good at it when he takes the time to be well briefed. But shouting answers on the run to Sam Donaldson is a poor way to hold a press conference.''

Dr. Dennis O'Leary, the adept press spokesman for George Washington University Hospital at the time of the assassination attempt on the president, feels that Reagan's skill at working out his programs with Congress and the executive branch has been his most remarkable accomplishment to date.

"In my business," said O'Leary, who is professor of medicine and G.W. Medical School dean for clinical affairs, "you have to be able to talk at the level of the people you are dealing with to convince them of your programs. The president h~s amazing skill at this . The tendency IS for a new administration to be swallowed up by bureaucracy ... not so here. He has been extremely effective in talking and working with th'e people."

Mark Evans Austad, popular broadcaster-businessman ~d newly appointed ambassador to Norwa~, logged his admiration of the president's personal touch. "He's the first president to ever call me personally on the telephone and ask me to serve as ambassador," said Austad, who also served as U.S. envoy to Finland during the Nixon years.

"I have known every president since Roosevelt," he continued, "and I think Reagan is the most sincere, dedicated man to ever sit in this chair.

He's revived patriotism in our country, and also gove.rnment integri.ty.

He looks like a president and acts hke one!"

Eleni Sakes Epstein, fashion and beauty editor for the Time Inc. Video Group International, also sees a marked difference. "Even younger men have taken up a new fashion leaf." As for women over 40,

"they've been given a new lease on life. They have a tremendous role model in Nancy Reagan," added the former Star fashion doyenne.

Former Virginia state senator Orner Hirst registered a few misgivings. "In the area of foreign policy, there is great skepticism in Europe about Reaganomics," Hirst said.

"It's a kind of psychological withdrawal from the U.S. Excluding Britain, the Western European wariness is accompanied in Greece, Italy, France and Western Germany by a lack of enthusiasm about even their own well-being. The Brits are in desperate straits and, unlike the Swiss who export skill, have lost their dominate trade position. And now the Japanese are becoming the Swiss of the world - a problem the Reagan administration has not begun to tackle."

Others feel his foreign policies are valid. Newsman Martin Agronsky, whose television show, Agronsky & Company, tackles both sides of most issues, thoughtfully pointed out that "after nearly a year, the president has taken his foreign policy off the back burner. Mr. Reagan's zero-option proposal for nuclear weapons in Western Europe moves the U.S. from belligerence to negotiation with the Soviets. It could improve the prospects for peace."

Julia Montgomery Walsh, frequent star of Wall Street in Review and chairman of Julia M. Walsh & Sons, specialists in investment planning, termed Reagan's first year as "hectic but pretty exciting. I'm pleased that the market has done as well as it has under the impact of the budget and tax cuts. That resiliency would indicate a more encouraging 1982."

Dr. Richard Berendzen, the popular and outspoken young president of American University registered alarm at the Reagan administration's proposed 60 percent reduction in the International Exchange Program at a time when the Soviet Union has just upped its educational exchange funds 10 percent in Latin America and 12 percent in Africa.

"The Russians view this as foreign policy," he snapped.

Berendzen, who is also an astronomer and fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, feels even more strongly about the Reagan approach to science. "What's being done is traumatizing. Our country needs to be far more vigilant in high

technology," he warned. "What concerns me is not just today, but the future."

Dr. M. Jane Evans, pert new president of Mount Vernon College, the four-year liberal arts school for women on Foxhall Road, also voiced concern at budget setbacks in student aid and support services for the disadvantaged, especially women and minorities. "It troubles me and many other women educators. I believe that more attention should be given to cutting fat from the defense budget and promoting greater efficiency in government.

"I am also very troubled by the lack of visibility of women in key leadership roles," she continued.

"The absence of role models in the higher echelons of government is a negative message for women!"

In the hard-hit area of the performing arts, Henry Strong, foundation executive and member of the board of the Kennedy Center, believes the president is doing what has to be done. ''It will be very rough on those nonprofit social service agencies and arts organizations which have depended heavily on government support," he cautioned. "It's unrealistic to think that the private and corporate sectors will take up all the slack, at least not in the near future. However, continued galloping inflation would have done in many of them anyway."

How does Ronald Reagan look to the press ... a power that all presidents are forced to face?

"Compared to the previous three presidents, he looks good," says Clay Richards, national political writer for United Press International. "He doesn't have the disgrace of Nixon, the Ford image of bumbling, or the Carter image of incompetence. Therefore, he's a lot stronger politically in the eyes of the American public."

NBC correspondent Edwin Newman, author of Strictly Speaking and A Civil Tongue, also looked at the Reagan image and manner of speech: "So far as language goes, his style and use of words is not distinctive. I don't say that in any critical way.

Principally, what Reagan does is bring a kind of friendliness to his delivery ... an unaffected quality .. 路 no fuss."

What other imprints? "He seems not to put as much time, effort and worry into the presidency as his predecessors," Newman observed.

"Perhaps his attitude arises from a fundamental confidence in the nation."

Syndicated columnist James Kilpatrick is impressed with Reagan 's abilities to follow through with his campaign promises. "Reagan is a tough old bird who sits at his desk and just keeps whittling away. I have been most impressed by the steadiness of the president's course. He promised to seek dramatic reductions in federal spending and he won them. He promised significant reductions in our taxes and he talked Congress into voting them. He said he would deregulate petroleum and he did it. He campaigned on a platform of federalism, pledging to return greater responsibility to the states and his block grants will do that," assessed the Virginia correspondent.

"Everywhere you look - in defense, in social programs, in regulatory agencies - you find a consistent imprint of the Reagan conservatism in action," concluded Kilpatrick. Then he added, "Reagan is so goodhumored and easy going that lots of People think he's a soft touch. He's not."

Fashions in dress and in home decorating seem to run parallel courses lately.

In a year when designers gave clothes a rich, elegant look, Washington's interior decorators watched tastes in home interiors shift from the starkness of stock modern to the warmth and lasting value of the traditional.

Although sitting rooms were again dotted with antiques, this revival of classic design concepts came with a more informal touch and splash of not so traditional colors. To work effectively with antiques and collectibles, many designers opted for eclectic treatment, matching contemporary architecture or accessories with period pieces to suit clients' needs.

In a town where homes and offices are used for diplomatic entertaining of all sorts, a versatile community of interior designers is a particularly important. Washington has a host of talented ones, each with his own forte or singular outlook.

Besides traditional residential decorating services, such as furniture and fabric selection, color coordination and floor planning, the interior designers of the department store's four branches assist clients in other ways. With the resources of a full department store, said Backner, "we really offer service that goes throughout a client's whole house."

"Interiors is only one of design studios have traditionally prothem," he said.

Ethel Armstrong does both residential and commercial work and will design anything from restoration to JOHN BYROM modern, American to Italian.

An American trait that has influenced him? "Americans love bright happY colors much more so than the British - and they've converted me."

The "unique concept" of Interiors Ltd., according to Chaudron, is that the three locations house seven fulltime designers, each with his or her own strengths and personal styles ranging from contemporary to traditional. "If the client has no particular design preference, he can come in and look at our sample showrooms and we'll match our designers with the client's taste," said Chaudron. "The advantage of our group is that we brainstorm together so the client has several minds working in his behalf."

KAREN FAWCETT McEiroy-Fawcett Washington, D.C. 387-4958 "A good interior designer," said Fawcett, "not only brings good ideas to a projcet, but should be able to interpret the taste and lifestyle of a client. The designer must be both a brilliant expediter (getting things done, in a businesslike manner, is 90 percent of the work) and a psychologist (able to analyze well what the client needs)."

The firm of six professional designers does both commercial and residential interiors in either traditional or contemporary style. The important thing, said Fawcett, "is that a design is the client's statement, not just the designer's."

Her own preference is in "mixing different styles and periods of art."

WALTER GAGLIANO The contemporary designs of Antony Childs are "very classic in feeling" and "not very trendy," he said.

"I try to create something that will always look wonderful." His aim of an enduring quality is reflected in the ''honest" materials (such as leather, li?en, marble, steel) he uses that allow him to cross the boundary between modern and traditional styles easily in meeting the needs of different clients.

"We've been gray-beiged to death," declared the furniture store's chief designer, announcing that "colors are definitely back" in residential decor. At the same time, he predicted that the post modern trend in design is here for 1982 and beyond.

Gagliano's aesthetic evaluation fits right in with the design materials offered by Roche Bobois. "Our firm exclusively represents a fine line of European contemporary furniture leather upholstered items from Italy and France, fine German cabinetry, high-gloss lacquers from Italy," ex. plained the design:r.

One of the design situations Jackson said she is encountering frequently is the move of the recently retired couple from their large house to a smaller dwelling, such as a condominium. "I assist them in planning the reduced scale of their furnishings," she said. The Falls Church designer said she also has a substantial call for custom upholstery, drapery and wall paper work, and has been called upon to consult with clients' architects on new construction.

The chief asset of the store's interior design service, according to Kanter, is that it carries exclusive lines of "extremely high quality" furniture. The designers create plans that are "contemporary, but not futuristic," he said. "We strive for an understated elegance that can fit into either a contemporary or traditional setting."

Most of the firm's work is residential, but some commercial work is done as well.

Past designs of the two-year-old group have included authentic deco and Victorian as well as straight contemporary and eclectic contemporary, though, says Kable, the trend in interior design today is to incorporate "collectibles and antiques in contemporary rooms."

A long-established and "relatively large independent studio," Jeffery Associates includes a staff of six professional designers and several assistant designers. "Our capabilities are diverse," said Mercer. "With a large backup staff, we are able to cover a large range of residential and commercial work and to be flexible as to periods and styles," she said.

The firm has two other unique capabilities. "We have our own warehouse space and trucks, which enable us to receive goods and inspect them ourselves before shipping on to the client," explained Mercer. At her accessory boutique, the Gazebo, clients see items rather than basing a purchase on catalogue pictures and descriptions .

JULES RIST Owner I Manager Jules Rist Interiors Great Falls, Virginia - 759-5880 Leesburg, Virginia- 471-7272

Specializing in 18th century decorative arts, Jules Rist Interiors is authorized by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation to reproduce the colonial look in their designs and to display Williamsburg reproductions licensed by the foundation. The three designers use the authentic reproductions - furniture, fabric, paint and brasses - their studios stock or mix in antiques or contemporary pieces.

Their work is mostly residential, although lawyers and doctors often opt for the classic colonial in their offices according to Rist, who added that another growing clientele is the young married professionals "who know good Williamsburg."

EBER ROUSH President Roush & Averil Washington, D.C. 948-5010

VICTOR SHARGAI Victor Shargai & Associates Inc. Washington, D.C. 333-6410 Shargai pursues originality in his Work, but not a standardized originality. ''Certain designers some very successful designers have a specific 'look' that people want to use," he said. "We don't approach our work that way. The needs of each individual client have to be very well understood.

"People aren't the same," he said, "and their interior designs should not be the same." As might be expected, Shargai does not limit himself in style except to "try to make everything comfortable. We will do period rooms or even ultra-modern of almost minimal design. "

SUSANNE SHAW Susanne Shaw Interiors, ASID Washington, D.C. 244-8724 "There's no question that styles come and go, particularly in colors, but you don't design homes ~r ju~ one season," says Susanne Shaw, Who is noted for her customizing of f~b.rics and wallpapers to suit the individual tastes and design needs of her clients. In coordinating the elements of her designs, Shaw has been known to create furniture from such materials as Plexiglas and wood. ''I also like to tie the outside of the home with the inside by landscaping property to complement the home's Interior." An extension of that approach is her latest project: designing Indoor exercising swimming pools attached to the house and enclosed by a Year-round greenhouse, "so there's an environment of health, beauty and relaxation."

Bob Waldron Interiors Washington, D.C. 333-3878 "Many people think that 'traditional' is strictly the Williamsburg look," Waldron said, explaining his design specialization. "Heaven help us. That is just too stiff. I think of traditional as a happy mixture of antiques and contemporary pieces." He uses ''things from the past updated for present living'' to create the "more formal settings" that his clients prefer.

Two-thirds of Waldron's practice is residential and one-third is commercial. His designs are found around the nation. He recently completed a house in Dallas that he said is "one of the most lavish and beautiful jobs I've ever done."

To pay a truly gala tribute to opera singer and manager George London , 20 of the world 's best opera and musical talents performed in a marathon benefit recital at the Kennedy Center. The first American to sing the title role in Boris Godunov in Moscow, London 's list of lead roles with the Metropolitan Opera is a long one. But London has done more for opera than just grace its stages. After an illness which made stage appearances impossible, London became the first artistic administrator for the KenCen as executive director of the Washington Opera.

What can you say about a room transformed for one brief night Into a lavish setting worthy of at least a thousand-and-one-nights? Guests at the 26th National Symphony Ball found many superlatives. Because the ball was under the Moroccan Embassy sponsorship, the king of Morocco dispatched a team of ar· tlsans to turn the usually cavernous Sheraton Washington Ballroom Into a romantic pavilion, festooned with banners and canopies. Dazzled patrons dined at tables decked with pink/sliver metallic cloth topped with tall exotic flowers rising from crystal bowls. They dined on delicate filet of sole "Tchermlla", roulade of veal and other delicacies, found Moroccan leather folders (for the gentlemen) and gold-encrusted velvet evening bags (for the ladles) at their places and toasted the king and the president with delectable Moroccan champagne. More than 1000 patrons paid $200 a ticket to turn out In white tie and decorations, so the NSO coffers must have jangl· ed merrily.

A bevy of former Ball chairmen were glimpsed on the dance floor which was kept crowded since everyone wanted to make use of Gene Donati's Inviting rhythms among them, pretty Penna Korth, Scooter Miller, Laurie Firestone and Anne Braverman to name only a few.

Gerson Nordllnger, long time Sym· phony supporter and a musician himself, reminisced about the first ball, back In 1954. "It was really my Idea," he said. Mrs. Merriweather Post was honorary chairman with Mrs. Robert Low Bacon and Mrs. Charles Carroll Glover, Jr., as chairmen. "It was the first white tie party In Washington since the war," Gerson recalled, "and the old Willard's roof-top ballroom had an unmistakable aroma of mothballs!"

Basil

Never had the controversial Secretary of State Alexander Haig been more in the thick of things in the Nation's Capital. During a week of front-page headlines and blistering editorials about cabinet skirmishes and nuclear muscling, he also dominated the Washington social scene. At the State Department, Haig joined 225 guests (at $1 ,000 a head) to help curator Clement Conger celebrate the 20th anniversary of his crusade to convert the department's eighth floor diplomatic rooms into a priceless treasure house of Americana. In good spirits, Haig joked his way through the lavish dinner that attracted numerous diplomats and International members of the Fine Arts Commission as well as more familiar faces - the Charles Wicks, Merrill Lynch President Lloyd Derrickson, the Bill Fitzgeralds and the Walter Annenbergs. While Chief Justice and Mrs. Warren Burger speculated on the redecoration with Buffy Cafritz (above right), Haig chatted with Conger and longtime contributor to the project Mrs. George Garrett (above left), saying " whenever my ego soars, I just turn on the television ." On the same weekend, the beleaguered secretary hosted one event and was honored at yet another.

As honorary co-chairmen of the second annual Washington Heart Association Ball , Haig, himself a heart bypass veteran, and colleague Cap Weinberger oversaw the dinner dance at the Mayflower where bal' chairman Lea Chase presented service awards to four national honorees. From the podium, Haig told some 400 guests that he became

I've been following the Orders of my physician." And at the OAS Building, Secretary General Alex Orflla and Permanent Council Chairman Henricus Heldwelller of Suriname gathered 150 diplomats and friends for a dinner in Haig's honor. The evening began with Ambassador and Mrs. Heidweiiler (below) making diplomatic small-talk with Haig. Later, Orfila (below left, with wife Helga and the Haigs) eloquently transcended the Week's political ruckus by toasting the Haigs on becoming grandparents only days earlier. "The children are the hope of the world," Orfila said.

MULTIPLE BOOKINGS

First to leave the book party, Saudi Ambassador and Mrs. Faisal Alhegelan say goodbye to hosts Mr. and Mrs. Arnaud de Borchgrave and author Robert Moss.

Publishers have found that Washington is a great place to lionize authors: gather the celebrities, garner the publicity, get the word out. All it takes is an Important name to gather other important names. There were a number of beneficiaries of this largesse last month. The Raymond Bells hosted a party for firstnovelist Mary Sheldon, Sidney Sheldon's daughter.

Helga Orfila threw a fling for actress/author Monique van Vooren and the Tom Bradens opened their doors to promote Shirley Lord 's bestseller. At their very chic apartment, Alexandra and Arnaud de Borchgrave hosted a party for his co-author on The Spike, Robert Moss, whose latest novel, Death Beam, has climbed onto the bestseller list. The book, an espionage thriller, attracted a stifling crowd of upper echelon celebrities in the press and the administration, includ ing former national security advisor Richard Allen (above), Reed Irvin who heads Accuracy in Media, and political columnist Pat Buchanan .

chicken scallopini stuffed with sausage and vegetables, cooked in wine. Veal scallopini is offered sauteed with peppers and wine sauce, sauteed in pizzaiola sauce or cooked with lemon and capers. The wine list is adequate and quite affordable.

Another recent Bethesda opening is Bernie's at the Linden Hill Hotel and Racquet Club, 5400 Pooks Hill Road.

A spacious restaurant and lounge with a tastefully understated elegance, Bernie's offers a wide variety of meats and seafoods in generous proportions. With a prime rib that weighs in at 22 ounces and a filet that borders on chateaubriand with its 13 ounces, Bernie's provides some of the most satisfying eating around. The shore dinner for two featuring a whole Maine lobster with clams, rockfish, shrimp and corn on the cob is a house specialty that truly is special. The wine list includes well chosen selections from Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Loire, the Rhone and Italy as well as Robert Mondavi house wines. For dessert, they produce a variety of sumptuous souffles big enough to share.

Another new dining addition to a local hotel is Rich's Place, a stylish restaurant serving continental cuisine in the Chevy Chase Holiday Inn .

Recently renovated, Rich's Place offers the warm decor of dark wood and china chandeliers and an appealing menu with such specialties as veal and salmon - sauteed veal topped with Nova Scotia salmon and cheese and the old Duke Zeibert's favorite, broiled short-ribs in a pot.

Charlie's Crab, at Connecticut and L Streets NW in the Connecticut Connection, takes the authentic seamen's approach to preparing their fresh catches-charbroiling and simple cookery without smothering sauces. Served in the relaxed elegance of a 1930 art deco atmosphere, the menu includes all manner of crabs from king to backfin, bouillabaisse, scampi of Spanish red shrimp, raw bars galore and lobster - all at moderate prices. Also, there is a popular saloon that features a piano bar during the weekdays.

other dishes at the large charcoal grill. Imported polish sausage and pastrami from Katz Houston Street emporium in New York round out a menu including grilled shrimp, fish, chicken or lamb. Enjoy the smoked salmon for an appetizer followed by a New York strip steak with deep fried potatoes. The pastas are good and change from day to day. The wine list is extensive, expensive and offers one of the best selections of California wines in the area.

Zeltner's at 5534 Connecticut Avenue NW Uust below Chevy Chase Circle) has fulfilled a long-felt need for a real New York style deli in Washington. It was opened last September by Ann Brody, former director of catering for Loew's L'Enfant Plaza Hotel and her husband, Peter Finkhauser, former food and beverage director for the Jockey Club. For appetizers, they offer five types of herring-schmaltz, Matjes, pickled, creamed and chopped. The pickled lox is the best I've ever had. Eight smoked or cured fish dishes are available ranging from Nova Scotia and Sable to Canadian Lake Sturgeon served with bagels and cream cheese. What's more, they offer half portions of most of the items on their menu. The latkes are made fresh, cooked in schmaltz and served with homemade applesauce or sour cream. As an inflation fighter, Seltzer is available plain for two cents. And Kasha Var路 niskes and Kishka are outstanding.

They also do catering.

An unpretentious neighborhood restaurant featuring home-style seafood dishes, the Sign of the Whale, at 1825 M Street NW, is one of the few bargains in downtown seafood restaurants. Fish and chipS are dependable favorites, but when the menu lists salmon steak, don't miss it. Even the lobster is reasonablY priced - a delicious anachronismAnd for a homey touch, the restaurant offers excellent onion rings in heaping portions. Friendly and in路 formal service and a wine list of good selections and savings add to the Sign of the Whale's bounty.

For seafood in the nearbY Washington Circle area, try Wheelers at 2512 L Street NW, a pleasantlY elegant restaurant with well-paced service and a wide variety of fresh dishes . Start with oysters on the half

shell or their succulent clam chowder.

The menu varies with the availability of the seafood, but the rockfish and grouper are always good bets. They also feature good mixed seafood specials, lobster and Dover sole and an adequate wine list.

Shezan, 913 19th Street NW, is an elegant international restaurant specializing in Indo-Pakistani food.

Many of the dishes are prepared in authentic clay Tandoori ovens. The Seekh Kebab Muglai, spiced marinated ground sirloin broiled on skewers, is particularly good. The chicken, lamb and shrimp curries are delicately balanced and not overspiced. For a true taste of Eastern cuisine, sample fresh unleavened breads baked in the Tandoori oven. Desserts range from homemade ice cream flavored with cardamon to a savory fruit melange touched With a lemony liqueur dressing . Textured burgundy walls, exquisite prints and hangings and a sari clad hostess add to the exotic atmosphere .

Tartufo, 1200 New Hampshire Avenue NW (at Ward Place), is an elegant northern Italian restaurant recently opened by Giuliano Bottinio of Bagatelle fame. His chef, Armando, is from Torino and as the name Tartufo (Italian for truffle) implies, many truffled dishes are available, including Risotto Pheasant and Veal Pica to, to men~ion but a few. The wine list is comprehensive and well Planned. Tartufo is not inexpensive, ?ut is worth the price to anyone desirIng excellent cuisine, well served in exceptionally attractive surroundings .

With its New York decor, Lenny's at 1025 Vermont Avenue NW offers a wide variety of fresh specialties in a sophisticated atmosphere. Washington's business world enjoys the nightly music of pia.nist Michael Terence a_nd the occasional addition of area

In a successful effort to prove that the Washington pool of actors rivals New York's and Los Angeles', Frankie Hewitt used local talents in Ford's Theatre's recent Christmas Carol production.

The show just completed its most impressive run in years. Unfortunately, the Kennedy Center, the Arena Stage, the National and Warner's depend almost exclusively on road-shows, outside talents and retread plays to fill their schedules. Theatrical edifices which don't use local talents don't make a theatrical town. (L to R) Standing, Jared Malesky, Greg Procaccino, Mary frey, Tony Elliot, pam Bierly and Michael Adler. Middle row, Shannon Downey, Pat Turney and Daryl Jones Bottom.
