The three most important guidelines in considering property, whether it be a home or a business office are location , location, location. In selecting a site for our ninth and newest office at 4801 Massachusetts Avenue in Spring Valley, we utilized the same careful planning and expertise with which we 've been guiding clients and customers for over four decades. Our sales associates have been involved in helping families buy and sell homes in this lovely and prestigious area for many years-now we 're making it a little more convenient for everyone.

Bud Holmquist, who is the manager of our Potomac office , and who has been instrumental in developing that office into one of the most successful in the County, has been selected to manage our newest office in D.C. In a company that is growing as rapidly as ours is, there is always the need for additional sales associates to complement our staff of experienced professionals. We offer the finest training , outstanding company support programs, and an excellent source of referrals through our New Homes Division and nationally active Relocation Dept.

If you have been considering a career in this challenging and exciting industry, or if you are a licensed agent contemplating a change and you are a person of high integrity and character, we invite you to call for a confidential interview. If you are interested in our new Washington , D.C. office , call Bud Holmquist at 299-2000 today. For career opportunities in our other offices, call Terry Murchison, our Executive Director, Resale Division at 656-3770.

By the end of chapter one, you have met the president, 55-year-old Robert Lang Webster (" hard and thin, and gray at the temples " ), hi s devoted wife Catherine, 54 (a former professor of psychiatric medicine at the University of Michigan who has had a face lift), their only daughter Lynne (a somewhat more glamorous version of the author in her salad days), presidential assistant Ron Fairbanks (a cross between a young Chuck Robb and General Godfrey McHugh who thinks Lynne has great legs), plus the unfortunate first victim Lansard Blaine who rapidly becomes the late secretary of state.

The denouement is handled with cunning dispatch. Blaine is found garroted in the Lincoln sitting room at midnight.

The description is fairly flavorsome.

From there on in, it's fun and investigatory games, with yet another murder to come, mixed with a modicum of gentle sex . Readers romp through the White House, Spring Valley, and Rock Creek Park where the Secret Service (obviously not favored by the author) are made to look like hairy chumps.

The ending is a bit of a surprise.

Anyone who has passed or been in or around the White House, and who savors a Washington setting, should find Margaret Truman's first mystery novel, light-weight entertainment.

Flowers bloom everywhere and in the distance a middle-sized brown foothill (called " The Mountain" which guests climb at 6:30 a .m., or 7 a.m. for lazies, to start their La Puerta day) looms gently in the pale blue sky.

The guests were as colorful as the plants, and ALL wore jogging shoes (the better to commute to classes from the guest cottages nestled off in the distant brown periphery). One is warned in advance to bring your own clothesslacks, leotards, tights, swimsuits, a sweater and your raincoat!

The first day at ANY spa is alway a total loss ... a nd Rancho was no exception. Formal classwork was not scheduled, just orientation. The "manana" atmosphere became more evident when it took two hours for our bags to reach our hacienda.

Our National Treasures Are Threatened

"Fifth" lest the French horn not make it through the tremulous "Moon Love" piece.

"The orchestra's brass section had a pretty bad reputation in those days," Kiplinger says "but Mstislav has changed all that. Now our brass section is tops, and he has even enlarged the double bass section because he loves the rich underpinnings only basses can give!"

Kiplinger, who is very proud of the orchestra and its music director, cellist/conductor, Mstislav Rostropovich, bristles when an occasional critic suggests that Slava might be a weak conductor.

"Everyone doesn't have to admire his style, but most do," he counters, pointing out that Slava is the only guest conductor to whom the awesome Herbert von Karajan would en-

trust his world-famous Berlin Philharmonic.

"In the past five years both Dorati (who preceded Rostropovich) and Slava have improved the NSO's quality with an infusion of new talent and superb leadership," Kiplinger emphasizes. "Sometimes it takes as long for an orchestra's reputation to catch up on the way up as on the way down. Just look at the Detroit Symphony, which is far better than its reputation."

A realist, a businessman and a perceptive editor, Kiplinger confesses he sometimes fears that an antagonism has built up toward the federal government and its location, which, of course, is our city.

"Even our politicians claim they're running against Washington," he says.

"There's a fundamental need for more awareness in the

White House about our Washington institutions and the vital relationship that exists between the presidency and the capital city ...

"It's been a dozen years since we've had a really effective White House adviser to the president on D.C. affairs who could provide a liaison between the federal government and the national capital region," Kiplinger recalls. "The last one was Charles Horsky, a senior partner in Covington-Hurling, who did a remarkable job keeping the White House aware, not only of the city's needs but of its opportunities vis a vis our city's cultural institutions."

Many people have suggested solutions for the National Symphony's problems, and they all boil down to an overriding, all-consuming need for more money .

dedicated, hard-working board you could imagine," Kiplinger says. "Our National Trustees, people like Armand Hammer, Leonard Firestone, Marion Anderson, Betty Ford and Mrs. Forrest Mars are spread across the country working for us all the time.''

Kiplinger seems more frustrated than discouraged when he admits, "we're just not making the headway we need. But we're not giving up."

One of the most dedicated and experienced members of the board is David Lloyd Kreeger, a former chairman who has played an active role in most aspects of Washington's cultural life through his knowledgeable leadership and generous financial contributions.

"The orchestra is working under an onerous contract,'' Kreeger says. "It's one that should be renegotiated beginning early in 1981. I can certainly sympathize with our musicians who want recompense on a par with the highest paid orchestras in the country. However, those other major orchestras get substantial help from their states and sometimes their counties as well. They're all located in cities with strong industrial bases that support the arts, and they have endowments that reflect this fact."

"I feel that the federal government must come forward," Kreeger says, "and compensate for the state and county aid we could normally expect if we were located in any other city."

"We're operating under serious disabilities," he warns.

"We might not be able to fund a 52-week year. It costs a small fortune ($23,000) every time we walk our 104 players on stage.

We must renegotiate a contract with our musicians that will keep the NSO from succumbing to what is rapidly becoming a desperate situation."

Another symphony board member, who is also a presidentially appointed trustee of the Kennedy Center and an assistant treasurer, is Henry Strong. He has been connected with the NSO's fortunes for a very long time and his family foundation has been a principal source of support. "The Kennedy Center has problems,

too," he admits, "but not of the same kind or magnitude as those that beset the NSO." As for its present circumstances Strong points out ''No bandaid treatments will suffice this time. We need heroic measures if we're going to save the orchestra."

"The NSO is charged by charter," Strong points out~ "to present symphonic mus1c in the capital of our nation.

It's increasingly difficult to do this on an appropriate level of competence and style in the face of a recession, which cuts down both on donations and purchases of tickets. The National Symphony Orchestra Association, Inc., must do more than just run an orchestra. Of course, it's charged with building and operating an orchestra, but if that orchestra goes under, the associati~n would still be an entity w1th f various choices of direction. 1 they couldn't afford 104 . players, they might replace It rwith a world-class chamber 0 d chestra. Naturally, there wou 1 be cries from the unions, but unless there is sufficient funding, we might have to try something like that. Or we could become entrepreneurs 路 h the ourselves and compete w1t Kennedy Center and others.

And so it goes.

The most upbeat person about the rescue operation ~or the symphony is Martin Fe~n颅 stein who became the NSO s managing director last January. His four-pronged proposal to save the orchestra starts off, not surprisingly, with trying to acquire feder~l funding. The second prong IS a concerted drive among .the he local business community. T third prong, certainly the most immediate and the most pressing, is to obtain a major . emergency grant from a big corporation, a one-time-onlY gift large enough to see the NSO safely through the upcoming highly critical season. _ A fourth prong is both tong range and in keeping wit~ J-[e Feinstein's special experuse. intentls to reshape the orchestra's offerings for better box office results.

"It probably can't be achieved until the 1981-82 season," Feinstein admits, "but we'll be aiming to have only two repetitions of each d program, instead of four, an

we'll inaugurate a long-hopedfor Sunday afternoon series.

"We will create festivals and other thematic types of Pr.ograms,'' Feinstein protnlses, recalling some of the fascinating programs he produced while director of performing arts for the Kennedy Center.

The National Symphony, celebrating its fiftieth birthday ?n September 18th, has had Innumerable ups and downs, Perils, triumphs and hair~readth escapes from tragedy.

Urely an appropriate golden ~niversary gift for our "nahonal" orchestra would be the ~o~t of grant that Martin /mstein describes-a one•rne shot, enough to put our Venerable orchestra safely on a Pedestal and to keep her there Wh ere she belongs.

Washington Performing Arts Society Patrick Hayes, impresario and founder of the Washington Performing Arts Society, says subscriptions series are holding and are slightly ahead of last year. Thanks to the challenge grant of the National Endowment for the Arts and special gifts, WPAS has just completed the largest fund-raising effort in its history. "There's no distress but, of course, we have a constant need for money."

Washington Ballet There were many times

when the continuation of the Washington Ballet seemed in doubt, but Mary Day, the youthful-looking former ballerina and company director, says the financial picture is better today "because we are frugal. We have a pay-asyou-go system and the ballet school supports us, along with our month-long production of "Nutcracker" every December. We're also grateful for grants from the Meyer and Cafritz foundations and the National Education Association."

Arena Stage Tom Fichhandler, Arena's business manager, says, "Our NEA grant is extremely helpful but not adequate for our needs. Seats are wearing out, the light board in the Kreeger Theatre needs replacing. We have a little put aside, but in two or three years, who knows?"

Folger Theatre The theatre gets support from local foundations,

notably the Cafritz, the Meyer, the Shubert, the National Endowment, and the D.C. Commission for the Arts, but overall the number of corporate and individual gift has fallen off. "I don't know if we will be around next year although this year looks O.K.," says as ociate producer Michael Sheehan.

"Obviously we are going to have to increase the number of individual gifts. There just aren't enough foundations around."

New Playwrights Theatre The theatre is at a crossroads, says Managing Director Mary Ann Kaninch . "Our first goal is to become olvent, pay o ff our debts and then we expect, in one or two years, to start growing. Right now we have a very good subscription campaign going, more corporate interest than ever before and, hopefully, we will raise $20,000 at our September 16 benefit."

Kennedy Center The Kennedy Center could face a real crisis if the top echelons of government who floated loans to the center were to demand repayment of accumulated interest on notes as well as principle. "If this demand is made, it could tie the KenCen's hands financially for up to 40 years," says Henry Strong, board trustee and assistant treasurer.

. The National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) is not looktng to the National Endowment for the Arts for ~~thing more than its proportionate share of support. . e NSO must look to the federal government for help 1 ~ closing the gap between income and rising costs. It is, ~ ter all, the dominant presence and the major employer ~n our city, and despite the fact that it is the largest landWner in the city, it does not pay the customary real estate taxes. th Mor~over '. the federal government occupies the place A. at P.nvate. mdustry does in every other major p ~en can ctty.

In every other great capital, national gentages are protected and supported by their national overnments. It is also the proper and logical role for 0 Ur federal government to play.

1' Although the Board of Directors and our National c;u.stees of NSO are attempting to insure that our nai·ttal city has a symphony orchestra worthy of a great ta ton, the cause could well be lost in the not too disnt future for lack of federal funding . daTcthe NSO certainly compares favorably with the stanIll~ .8 gen.erally used to measure orchestra qualityco~~~ ~trtuosi~y, audience size, programming, const· nay. servtce and, of course, the response from ttuenctes .

excellent reviews, not only in Washington, but in New York and on tours to Mexico, Japan and South America.

In audience size, our NSO regularly outsells the Cleveland Orchestra, generally regarded as one of the top orchestras in the country.

In programming, Maestro Rostropovich, in addition to his renowned mastery of the world's greatest romantic music, is recognized as one of the leading music directors in his presentation of new American compositions.

As for community service, last year the NSO played to 60,000 school children in its daytime youth concerts at the Kennedy Center and to over 200,000 people on the slopes of the U.S. Capitol.

Lastly, in community response the NSO is second only to Chicago in the amount of funds raised each year from private sources-well ahead of Cleveland, New York and Los Angeles, all larger cities than ours. As a matter of fact, in per capita giving to annual fund , the NSO leads all the other top ten orchestras in the country.

The NSO is not only respected and beloved in its own community, but is also acclaimed around the country and the world as a magnificent orchestra. If our federal government does not show a sense of responsibility toward this splendid cultural treasure-then who

OK Protocol with an Hispanic Flair

By Dorothy Marks

T

he life of Abelardo Lopez Valdez reads like the Chicano version of an Horatio Alger story or a G-rated movie script. Ever since seven-year-old "Lalo" Valdez got some help with his English and leapfrogged from the slow learners in the second grade to the fast track in the third, this son of migrant laborers from Floresville, Texas, has been moving up in the world.

Now he is Ambassador Valdez, the first Mexican-American chief of protocol, the highest-ranking Hispanic in the State Department and probably the most visible of all Jimmy Carter's Hispanic appointees.

After taking office last September his first assignment was to handle the state visit of Mexican President Lopez-Portillo. It was an irony not lost on Valdez.

Some might conclude he has, indeed, made it to the top and realized the American dream. For Valdez himself this assignment is only another challenge, another rung of the ladder to be climbed.

The best, he feels, is yet to come.

When Rosalynn Carter preempted former protocol chief Kit Dobelle as her White House chief of staff, Ham Jordan's instructions to his troops were to find a Hispanic for the protocol job.

So some of those who read only the headlines when the 37-year-old Valdez was named-"Former Migrant Worker to be Protocol Chief"-may have assumed that ethnic origin, rather than competence, had determined the President's choice or that his distinctly Latin good looks and charm were what had prompted First Lady Rosalynn Carter to recommend him to the president.

The irony was that some members of 14/September 1980/Dossier

the Hispanic community were outraged.

Raquel Frankel, former director of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus was angry and bitter. "The job is beneath him. Can you imagine the president giving an Anglo with his education and intellectual gifts the job of butler to the nation?"

Valdez does not see it that way. "I took the job because the president asked me to and you don't say 'no' to the president unless you have a pretty good reason."

Two years earlier in recognition of Valdez' work in organizing the Democratic Hispanic-Americans, the president had named him assistant administrator of the Agency for International Development (AID) for Latin-America and the Caribbean.

At AID, Valdez was in charge of an annual $450 million loan development fund with 1,000 employees here and in the field . While there he lobbied hard for a greater commitment to trade and economic development with Latin America. His salary at AID was $52,500 and his title ''The Honorable .'' At protocol his salary is the same. He has a staff of 52, including 10 at Blair House,and an annual budget of around $1,500,000.

"I believe in going with the roll of the dice. I'm willing to gamble," Valdez says. "Besides, Hispanics are always stereotyped as only being able to handle Hispanic affairs or poverty programs.

There is a need to integrate them into the mainstream." The protocol post, usually reserved for the rich or wellborn, is about as "mainstream" as one could get.

On balance, the protocol job has

. 8 been good for him. It has given h1111 e visibility nationwide he would not hav had otherwise. His hometown of Fiore~~ ville turned out 1,000 strong to hon .11 him, and similar events wer~ stage~J~S Corpus Christi, San Antomo, Da .8 and Houston. Now, Dr. Hector ~arc~f of the American GI Forum is talkJng · an· Valdez as a potential first MeXIC or American governor of Texas. (Gover~Ue John Connally hailed from Flore.sYI as too .) Last year Garcia promoted hll11 er the ambassador to Mexico when for~at Wisconsin governor Pat Lucey I~ft post to join the Kennedy campal~n.tne If Carter is reelected, the talk 10 'ble Hispanic community is of a possl re· Cabinet post for Valdez-s~Y· s~nd tary of commerce or educatiOn·. tinS who knows, the practice of appoJn 10 defeated congressmen and senators nd posts like ambassador to the OAS atill assistant secretary of state for La American affairs may change. in· Valdez is proud of his humbl~ begr!li' nings and of his loving, close-kmt fa nd ly. His father came-with papers ae~· not as a wetback-from Torreo~, ~ad ico, in 1928. His mother's familY c/J 7 come to Floresville in the late 1 10 from the Canary Islands.

During his tenure as A ssistant Administrator of the Agency for Intemationof Development for Latin America and the Caribbean, Lafo spent much time in the field addressing Hispanics.

his required two years with the Army Corps of Engineers and was promptly selected as a military social aide at the LBJ White House from 1965 to 1967, serving alongside Chuck Robb.

From there he went to law school at Baylor University, won a fellowship for a master of laws at Harvard (1971) and a postgraduate term at the Academy of International Law in the Hague in the Netherlands.

An article he wrote for the international law journal at Harvard got him his first job with the Overseas Private Investment Corporation advising multinationals on their investments abroad.

Two years later he was general counsel for the Inter-American Foundation, planning grassroots development projects for the rural poor in tandem with nonprofit, private groups in Latin America.

Along the way, he wrote articles for law journals from coast to coast on commodity market regulation, agrarian reform, immigration problems and the role of law in social change. About two years later he cofounded a private Washington law firm with former Texas congressman Graham Purcell, which he left to accept Carter's appointment to AID. A hard-driving, essentially seriousminded man, ambitious and with a healthy ego, Valdez has moulded the 26/ September 1980/ Dossier

protocol job to his own image. He began a series of Blair House luncheons with local leaders and diplomats. With the help of the Foreign Policy Association and the hospitality of the Madison Hotel's Marshall Coyne, he has held what are called Ambassadors Roundtables with an ambassador or ambassadors from a particular area talking oneon-one with American business leaders and others. He likes to sit down for serious chats with heads of mission. He says he would love to conduct a personal tour for those ambassadors who don't have the opportunity to visit places like Arizona, Texas, California, Colorado or towns like Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico .

Valdez estimates about a third to half of his time is spent on legal problems involving the 127 resident chiefs of mission, the more than 1,000 consulates around the country and the 2,300 diplomatic families here. On the ceremonial side, his handling of the job is, as one society writer puts it, midway between the "ebullient bonhomie of the Joe Smoaks and the laid back low-profile role of Kit Do belle."

The ambassador from Educador, Ricardo Crespo, like Valdez a graduate of Harvard Law School, says "Lalo is able to discuss problems with some of us in the corps beyond the usual range of a chief of protocol." Italian Am bas-

. h'm as sador Paolo Cedronio descnbes 1 "overqualified."

tion ... that Hispanics are on the march and that nothing-but nothing-will stop us; that we demand and expect nothing less than full participation in the political, social and economic life of this country.

"We need educational opportunities for a people, half of whom have not completed secondary school and bilingual education as an option for all of our people, job training, business development, access to capital, dignity and justice at the hands of the police and the courts and an end to racism and discrimination in public policy at all levels of government," Valdez told his July 27th audience.

And, finally, "if we are going to count in the 1980s, we've got to count in politics ... the field of political action is the most urgent need as the campaign begins for the election of the president, the entire House of Representatives, one third of the Senate and tens of thousands of state and local offices .... If we are 10 percent of the population, then we should have 43 seats in the House and 10 Hispanic senators. Presently, we have only six congressmen.

"In the states where Hispanks are most concentrated, we can be the difference between defeat and victory in anational election . . . California, New York, Texas, Illinois, Florida, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado have a

total of 202 electoral votes, 72 percent of the number needed to elect a president."

(Around 600 Hispanics were delegates to the Democratic National Convention.)

Valdez reminded his audience that President Carter has appointed over 200 Hispanics to high-level policy positions, that the nearly 20 million citizens of Hispanic origin (that, of course, does not include five to seven or more million illegals) today will by 1990 constitute the nation's largest ethnic community-outdistancing even the black population.

The Hispanic in today's America is a predominantly city dweller and not the migrant farm worker of the past.

At the same time, he exhorted his audience not to be a separate minority group, "we must remember our Hispanic community can make progress only so long as our issues become majority concerns . . . . We must learn to sail in the mainstream of national life.''

Typically, this is Valdez on the hustings speaking to Hispanic voters in the first of several political appearances in this election year. Who knows?

Those early years as a migrant laborer may be as important in Valdez' own future as being born in a log cabin was for American presidential candidates in the last century.

Whoever wins the presidential election in 1980, it is a safe bet Lalo Valdez won't have to go home and pick cotton.

hatever the sorry state of the economy, not to mention the state of the nation, inflation-made money is not in short supply. A stroll through Washington's antique shops provides ample evidence that the ranks of the collectors are swelling and that the antiques business is expanding in all directions. Although few of the experts care to discuss

are more secure and command a higher growth rate than stocks and bonds and even real estate. According to a study

by Wall Street's respected Solomon Brothers, Chinese ceramics increased by 31 percent between 1978 and 1979, when stocks rose a mere 5.3 percent.

The real beauty of antiques, however, is the fact that you can enjoy them and draw comfort from the knowledge that they have survived the centuries. In this volatile world the presence of lived-in pieces with their aura of timelessness and their hand-rubbed warmth offers both an aesthetic experience and a sense of security.

NEW YORK'S AUCTION HOUSES

A Record Breaking Season Considering the prevailing circumstances, it is not surprising that New York's big auction houses charted up unprecedented sales figures for the season. Sotheby Parke-Bernet's (SPB) 378 North American auction sales netted a stunning $250 million. That is $100 million more than during the previous record-setting season! Christie's sales totals are just as impressive. With a net sold total of more than $113 million, the firm was able to double its sales in its third season in America! Even at Phillips, an auction house operating on a more modest scale, sales took a healthy jump from $9.5 to $12.9 million.

Substantial increases in sales were registered in virtually all collecting areas. At SPB they amounted to 235 percent for contemporary paintings; 165 percent for impressionist paintings; 158 percent for porcelain; 120 percent for silver; 104 percent for 19th century paintings and prints; 77 percent for American paintings; and 77 percent for Chinese works of art.

With $57 million, compared with last season's $42.1 million, the decorative arts at SPB were not far behind. At Christie's, French, English and continental furniture sales were up 45 percent. The list of record-setting prices was never longer. An English dealer bid $290,000 for a set of eight George II side 18/September 1980/ Dossier

chairs, made by Giles Grendey for a Spanish duke in 1735. At SPB a record was set for American furniture, when the superb Chippendale kneehole desk from the Garbisch collection, crafted

by Edmund Townsend of Newport, R.I., in 1760-80, fetched an unexpected $250,000.

THE SILVER BUST

The Consequences

Despite the big silver bust this spring, high prices for quality 18th century English silver were the rule even after the wildly fluctuating silver market had returned to more normal levels. Somewhat worried, the auctioneers breathed a sigh of relief when two historic matching George II silver seal-engraved salvers with Bath borders, made by Edward Vincent in London in 1728, sold

d of for a spectacular $180,000 instea 111e the estimated $40,000-$60,000.

5 13 salvers had sold for as little as $ l 8, rge in 1965. At the same June sale a ~\I} George II rectangular silver traY' nc Je· engraved with symbols of the four ~so ments by Paul de Lamerie in 1741 'o~Osurpassed the estimated $100, ·red $150,000.

WA HINGTON'S AUCTION MARKET tlo~cnerally, these market trends-they ne appear to be international-are reas Cted by Washington's auction houses Well. ''I' Do t s a sellers' market," observes est~~~~ Webster of C.G . Sloan & Co., hou ilshed in 1891. The auction se• tniir s sales amounted to some $7 seas'on, up a solid 30 percent from last the on. Webster seems convinced that · of Sotheby Parke-Bernet hcornpef1t10n auct· as helped to increase the interest in ton al ''W . es. aucti ash.Ington is now the number two '•o on City in this country " he notes Utside of New York it,is the on!;

auction market that attracts dealers from all over the country and abroad.

We see a lot of phone bidding and a growing number of German and English dealers, with occasional appearances of dealers from Italy and Spain."

True, Sloan's did not sell a $6.4 million Turner or a $5.2 million Van Gogh or even a $3 million Picasso. But it did sell a fine landscape by Jacob van Ruisdael to a London buyer for $185,000.

Collector Joseph Hir hhorn, who frequently shows up during catalogue sales, purchased John Singer Sargent's portrait of a Spanish woman for $75,000.

As far as antiques are concerned, a Massachusetts Queen Anne tea table, which found a home in the White House, sold for $65,000 to New York dealer Israel Sack.

"Our big ellers are 19th century paintings, American and European. German genre paintings are extremely popular.

But the trongest market is in American furniture," say Webster.

A ked about oft spots in the market, Webster point to trivial things. "The public has become very discriminating," he explains. "Third-rate stuff i carefully avoided and hard to sell. Though silver has stabilized, the market for modern ilver is far from strong."

Any igns of recession in the auction busine s? Like so many other profe sionals, Webster is not so keen on predictions. "The future i not assured,'' he muses. ''The antique market will grow at a better rate than inflation. There i plenty of money. People are prepared to pay top price . ''

same premises at 2233 Wisconsin Avenue. Although prices "are up a good third" compared to a year or two ago, she tries hard to "hold the line by buying wisely." A collector herself, she enjoys seeing people browsing and admiring her selection of beautiful objects.

"It is emotionally rewarding," she acknowledges. And anybody who knows her superb taste understands that she refers to her customers as well as herself when she speaks of the aesthetic pleasure derived from the mellow glow of that hexagonally shaped tortoise box with its medallion top and ball feet of gleaming sterling silver, made in England in 1740, or that gorgeous Chinese export bowl, figurative in design and executed in the soft rose, lilac and aqua colors of rose famille. It's dated ca. 1780 and sells for $1,500.

The secret of her success is her own enthusiasm.

"I never buy anything I don't like myself. Only if I like something do I feel comfortable showing and selling it." Keeping away from silver, Gildenhorn has built up an extensive collection of all manner of decorative boxestea caddies, writing boxes, section boxes, canister boxes-bronzes and English porcelains of singular quality.

Her Davenport demitasse set, six fluted cups and saucers in the rich Imari pattern on an elegant porcelain tray, ca .

1860-70 and priced at $1,000, is just one of the attractions here.

Mindful about keeping things affordable, Gildenhorn approaches the purchase of antiques more in terms of spiritual than financial investment.

Certainly, this is yet another incentive for her customers to visit her store time and again without feeling intimidated or pressured and to come back-eventually-for the purchase of that precious piece they absolutely have to have.

Oriental Treasures and China Trade As far as Chinese furniture and art objects are concerned, Fisher Galleries, which also owns the 113-yearold firm of Duncan and Duncan, has the edge as the oldest dealer in town.

Under the direction of Miriam Fisher, widow of the well-known P . Harrison Fisher, the business continues to prosper.

"I think the recession has helped ."

Fisher is convinced that "people now are looking for really important pieces." At the same time she indicates that this does not apply to their art 48/ September 1980/ Dossier

gallery where contemporary art is shown.

Fisher is ready for her second buying trip to the People' s Republic of China.

The last time certain dealers were allowed to buy directly from government warehouses.

"Of course," she adds, "they know exactly the value of each piece. We learned that you can buy anything as long as you pay their price." She is looking for furniture, porcelain and antique embroideries. This is not to imply that her cupboard is bare. Looking at the carved jades, the handsome blue and white ginger jars, some of them Ming, the ivories, the fancifu l tapestries and brocades, the exotic jewelry and the furniture with its severe lines, one enters a different world.

Among the many valuables, the stately garden seat in traditional blue and white from the Ch'ien Lung period (1736-95) catches the eye. It turns out to be a rare one. Because of earthquakes and revolutions few of the bigger porcelains have survived. While this one sells for $2,000, others, more colorful and equally rare examples, sell regardless of age at even higher prices.

In its field the China Coast is the latest newcomer to town. Obviously, this does not mean that Viennese-born Elizabeth Weikert Douglas is new in the business. Having lived in the Orient and in California where she became a dealer in Chinese and Japanese 18th and 19th century furniture, textiles and scroll pajntings not intended for export as well as maps and prints relating to the Far East, she brings plenty of expertise to her profession. After more than a year she still is in the process of establisrung a clientele by giving lectures on her pieces of 15th and 16th century Chinese export porcelain that were destined for the southeastern Asian market, Burmese and Thai bronzes and wood carvings, Persian and Afghan rugs and other pertinent subjects in her shop at 3003 P Street. All in all she characterizes the market as "good."

Instead of trying to sell her customers a house full of oriental furniture, she prefers to place single accent pieces.

"Chinese furniture blends well with contemporary pieces. They complement each other," she comments, decrying the fact that the simple chairs she used to buy way under $100 ten years ago now cost around $500. At least, she still keeps finding them. If there is one thing she really looks forward to, it is the projected orienta l art museum on the Mall. "It will help to make the public more aware of the

54/September 1980/Dossier

that job after 25 years and spent the next 10 years as special assistant to Minority Leader Gerald Ford on Capitol Hill, as his top aide when vice-president, and as the first White House counsellor.

The book is a bitter litany, a brutally frank, detailed, well-written expose of the Nixon "praetorians," the holdover palace guard whom Ford never had the heart or guts to fire and who ultimately, he writes, sabotaged his presidency.

As for the Ford-Reagan relationship, Hartmann says both Fords and both Reagans disliked each other intensely.

Ford thought Reagan a phony; Reagan considered him a lightweight.

When Ford listed his vice-presidential choices Reagan was last on the list and Ford misspelled his name atrociously-'' Raeygan. '' Hartmann reveals that Ford refused his vice president Nelson Rockefeller much less than he himself demanded of Reagan as his price for going on the 1980 ticket. After promising Rockefeller "a partnership," asking him to do in the domestic area what Kissinger was doing in the international field, offering him the vice-chairmanship of the Domestic Council, "nice guy" Ford bowed to the wishes of the Nixon praetorians and ran an end run around Rockefeller.

Again when Rockefeller warned Ford "the Nixon gang" was still running the White House and didn't want him renominated or re-elected, his warnings went unheeded. His offer of help in reorganizing the White House was ignored by Ford whom Hartmann characterizes as a master of legislative politics but a sheep among wolves in the Byzantine politics of the executive office.

Hartmann's account of bull sessions with Rockefeller after he left the vicepresidency give important insights into the Ford-Rockefeller relationship.

Hartmann doesn't fault Ford's pardon of Nixon but he savages the timing and manner in which it was done. He credits it with Ford's failure to win the White House in 1976.

His list of enemies is almost as long as Nixon's. In more or less descending order of hostility he lashes out at General A1 Haig, Donald Rumsfeld, William Simon, Alan Greenspan, Jim Lynn, Dick Cheney and Ron Nessen. He gives Gerald Ford high marks as a man of honor but a babe among the praetorians. One wonders how Ford feels about it all. - DOROTHY MARKS
