CORPORATE ART COLLECTORS:
THE NEW MEDICIS
I
ncase you are wondering why art
prices are rising, and auction houses
like Sotheby's and Christie's report
season increases of 43 and 45 per-
cent-up from $90.7 to $130.1 million
and $34.7 to $50.3 million-the answer
is not just inflation or a heightened in-
terest in the arts. The great demand for
art works, which prices the regular art
lover right out of the market, is at least
partially due to the phenomenon of cor-
porate art. Gone are the times when
banks and chairmen of big boards care-
fully selected one or two paintings for
their offices. Now they buy by the
dozens.
Some of us remember the awe and the
joy we experienced in the fifties when
the Container Company of America,
one of the pioneers in corporate art,

displayed its formidable collection in
highbrow ad relating to the "Great
Ideas of Man." Since then, corporate
art has become a status symbol for the
new Medicis, an investment and, ala ,
an integral part of corporate decor. The
corporate collection can ab orb any-
thing from a mountain landscape by
Bierstadt to a trendy "Lavender Disas-
ter" by Warhol. It is a boon for art con-
sultants, gallery owners, auctioneer
and-incidentally artists.
The Montgomery Museum of Fine
Arts inspected some 300 corporate col-
lections in order to mount an exhibition
"American Paintings from Corporate
Collections," in 1979. Choosing 88
paintings from 30 collections, it sang the
praises of the "sensitive and adven-
turous nature of corporate art collec-
ting." To be sure, it was a super-show.
Blount, Inc. proudly presented its Hop-
per, its Stuart Davis and its Reginald
Marsh. The International Business Ma-
chines Corporation surprised with 19th
century luminists like Cropsey and Ken-
sett Weil Brothers-Cotton, Inc. with its

Paintings by wives, relatives and
friends were ruled out. But a Thomas
Hart Benton owned by Governor Shafer,
who works there, easily found a place of
honor. Haslem relates with pride that the
National Museum of American Art
borrowed some graphics for one of its
shows, among them Michael Ponce de
Leon's "Succubus," a relief etching
sculpted of handmade paper.
Among the jewels of this collection,
where graphics by the stars of abstract
expressionism Jasper Johns, Claes Old-
enburg, Mark Tobey, Frank Stella,
Adolph Gottlieb and Joseph Albers
hang side by side with the works of
Washington's Sam Gilliam, Jacob Kai-
nen, Charlotte Robinson and Dennis
O'Neil, is Richard Ziemann's large trip-
tych of exquisite etchings "Backwoods I,
II, III," reflecting the subtle interplay of
density and space, growth and decay.
Ziemann,. who teaches at Lehman Col-
lege, was Gabor Peterdi's student. His
work, a favorite at Haslem's, is amply
represented, but never better than with
the vibrant "Celebration III" which fills
one of the conference rooms with its
joie de vivre and virtually silences Jul-
ian Stanczak's "Red Sound," an acrylic
of measured intensity. The masterful
touch of Peter Milton, another Peterdi
student-held in great esteem at
Bader's-can be admired in several of
his enigmatic etchings. In such distin-
guished company the pleasing acrylics
by Paul Jenkins strike the viewer as
merely decorative.
Plunges into corporate art are also
taken by leading law firms, among them
Arnold & Porter and Patton, Boggs &
Blow. In both cases the development of
their considerable collections were
prompted by moves into new promises
of stunning contemporary design. The
Guston to Stamos at CIBA-GEIGY.
Rather than being adventuresome, most
of them had settled for big names and
glossy catalogues prepared by profes-
sionals to record their treasures.
Needless to say, Washington has its
corporate Medicis. One of the least
pretentious and most stimulating collec-
tions of this kind-some 300 fine ex-
amples of mostly contemporary Ameri-
can graphic art-is housed in the elegant
offices of the international accounting
firm, Coopers & Lybrand. When the
firm moved into its cheerful quarters in
1975, designed in a spirited con,tem-
porary manner with gently curving
spaces, much glass and brightly colored
filing cabinets by Larry Sealy of SLS En-
vironetics, it was decided to enhance
them with artworks. John Silton, a part-
and collector of contemporary

the selections made by Arnold & Porter's art committee, comprising, from left: lawyers Scott Lang.
William D. Rogers, James R. MeA lee, Murray H. Bring and James A. Dobkin.
American art, who was supervising the
office construction, took charge of the
project. Mindful of the firm's extensive
art collection of 600 items in their New
York offices, Silton considered the
budget and called art dealer Jane Has-
lem, an expert on graphics.
"We did not intend to buy for invest-
ment purposes," Silton stresses. Haslem
backs him up. "This is one of the few
corporate clients who has not asked for
an updated appraisal," she comments.
"They were interested in quality and
learning. They wanted the best from
Washington and elsewhere." Sonia De-
launay's exuberant "Rhythm in Color"
lithograph testifies to the fact that Euro-
peans were not excluded. Working with
gallerists Bader, Fendrick and Michel-
son, as well as Sidney Janis and Martha
Jackson in New York and others,
Haslem returned with more than 300
paintings, drawings, lithos, etchings and
prints, abstract and representational.

REAGAN'S FIRST WHITE HOUSE DAYS:

exchange pleasantries and handshakes.

The first days of the Reagan reign
plunged the Californian deeply into
Washington's diplomatic community as
ambassadors and representatives of 134
nations were guests at the President's
first major White House reception.
This year, many third-world represen-
tatives wore colorful national dress in-
stead of the prescribed white tie. Other
Ambassadors sported chests draped with
medals and bright ribbons of various
orders, outshining their wives' gowns as
a male peacock puts his mate in the .
shade.
On a day when Americans were still
celebrating the hostages' release, Reagan
did not talk about the sensitive matter of
diplomatic immunity to which Soviet
Ambassador Anatoliy Dobrynin, as dean
of the Washington diplomatic corps,
would have had to respond. He was the
genial host, making small talk and smil-
ingly receiving congratulations in a hun-

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

by the same company that
Ivered Donna Flor and Her Two
Usbands, this little exotic comedy
ade an unexpected hit at the 1980 Can-
yes festiVal before its U.S. debut in New
ork last Fall.
'the film is a vibrant landscape of the
Brazilian countryside that just dances
with the rhythm and motion of a good
rhumba from beginning to end. It is the
portrait of a sideshow entertainment
troupe as well-five in all, including a
lovestruck accordianist and his pregnant
wife-who truck around Brazil in search
of bigger audiences to hustle.
Instead, they find their fortunes stuck
in the middle of Brazil's ongoing iden-
tity crisis. Their two-bit tent act fails to
lure anyone away from the almighty tel-
evision in the thoroughly modern cities,
so the troupe ventures further into the
tropical backcountry, from one archaic
village to the next, where base poverty
has already mesmerized the peasants.
Writer-director Carlos Diegues spins
an engaging tale of old Brazil and new,
buoyed throughout by authentic loca-
tion music and rich performances-espe-
cially by Brazil's popular actor, Jose
Wilker, who makes the rakish indul-
gences of Lord Gypsy come alive.
To speak of acting tours de force of
last year, Washington filmbuffs
shouldn't overlook the top-drawer per-
formance in Australian director Bruce
Beresford's period drama Breaker
Morant.
The story line follows the fall and rise
of a valiant if morally confused Aussie
officer, Lieutenant Harry "Breaker"
Morant (played superbly by Edward
Woodward) whose brutal atrocities dur-
ing the last year of the Boer War in
South Africa land him in a military
court.
The rigged trial, which provides the
framework of the film, parallels in feel if
not in fact the celebrated Vietnam case
against Lieutenant Calley. The biting
courtroom battle gradually twists viewer
sympathies to Morant, who becomes an
obvious fall-guy for a far more brutal
and obsessive British imperialism. Jack
Thompson's Cannes award-winning por-
trayal as the earnest defense attorney is a
brilliant piece of acting in a film that
provocatively balances cinemagraphic
simplicity with moral complexity.

Late Spring Entries and Long Shots:
One of Scott Fitzgerald's short stories
tells of a young American artist who
went abroad "to paint something new
into the Bay of Naples." My first reac-
tion on hearing that Professor Matthew
Bruccoli was writing a full-dress
biography of Fitzgerald was that per-
haps he was attempting a similar feat.
What could he add to Mizener, Turnbull
and the rest? The answer is that Bruc-
coli, who is the chief curator of Fitz-
gerald lore and legend, has almost 20
new years of accumulated material to
(Continued on Page 73)
of the language and history of the
troubled land, and she explored it from
the northern frontier to the wastelands
along the Persian Gulf. She has a good
ear except when she indulges in such
tautologies as "an invited group of
guests," and a brisk sense of the
ridiculous. So the strangeness and ex-
citement of a shared four-year adven-
ture come through intact. There is an
amusing bonus in the account of a near-
royal visitation by Henry Kissinger.
A President in Love. By Edwin Trib-
ble. (Houghton Mifflin, $12.95). For
years the second Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
hesitated about publishing the 250 or so
letters which she and the President wrote
each other during their 1915 courtship.
Just before her death in 1961, she finally
agreed to their release, specifying a fur-
ther delay of 15 years. Now the former
Sunday editor of the Washington Star
has pulled together and annotated the
correspondence. Wilson, whose letters
sometimes ran to 20 pages in longhand,
comes out warm and impulsive as well as
brilliant. Edith Bolling Galt-whose in-
tellectual credentials hardly matched the
President's-surprisingly enough more
than holds her own. The Library Jour-
nal calls the letters "as captivating as
any novel ... remarkable for their can-
dor and passion." The fact that the
President's all-consuming love affair
was played out against an anxious
America edging toward WorId War 1
adds a haunting dimension.

Ewald's valiant efforts can explain or
justify. Yet, in the main, the author falls
mercifully short of hero-worship. Under
Ike's easy friendliness and behind the

self-discipline" were able to conceal.
Among the book's many virtues are

BILL MIDDENDORF:
ATower of Talent
By Dorothy Marks
l
H
e is a composer, a painter, a de-
signer of stained-glass windows,
an art collector and patron, a
champion oarsman and a marathon run-
ner who stays on the course. He is also
an ex-Ambassador to the Netherlands, a
forlier Secretary of the Navy and cur-
rently President and Chief Executive Of-
ficer of Financial General Bankshares,
Inc., the largest
bankholding company with 13 banks
whose earnings have more than doubled
and whose assets are now approaching
$3 billion. As if this weren't enough, at
presstime the White House was ready to
name him Chairman of the Export-
Import Bank which does business all
over the world for Uncle Sam.
But lest you are tempted, please don't
call J. William Middendorf II, "a
Renaissance man." It makes him really
14/March 198I1Dossier
uncomfortable. "I'm tired of hearing
people described that way," he says.
"Don't forget a lot of those Renaissance
men, including those big in the arts,
were poisoners-or just as bad-poi-
sonees. I collect Renaissance bronzes
but that's as near to being a Renaissance
man as I care to get."
He also collects Robert Frost manu-
scripts (they were neighbors once in Ver-
mont), a variety of old masters, in-
cluding a notable collection of Rem-
brandt etchings, American prints from
1670 to 1820, paintings of early Chris-
tian scenes and old musical scores.
Five years ago he sold Rembrandt's
"Juno" to his longtime friend and
business associate Armand Hammer for
what was then a record price of $3.25
million. When he was posted to the
Hague, he studied stained glass tech-
. hhiS

"He's my hero! I wouldn't be surprised
if history rates him as one of the greatest
American composers."
For this interview, Middendorf its
behind an over-sized desk in his large
corner office at 1701 Pennsylvania Ave-
nue with its picture window looking
across at the Old Executive Office
Building and the White House. In the
window is an abstract acrylic sculpture
by his friend and one-time business col-
league, John Safer. "It is just about the
only modern piece I have."
Behind him, a huge oil, "Horse Fair
on Southborough Common," by the
19th century English painter J. F. Her-
ring, is more representative of his taste.
Other pictures reflect other strong inter-
ests, like the primitive of a sea captain,
and an early Christian scene. A direct
Band and the U.S. Naval Academy
Band, too.
However, his most publicized musical
effort to date is the "Thumbs up,
America!" march he wrote with lyricist
Sammy Cahn which was the theme
music for the Reagan inauguration.
With a fanfare of Marine Band trum-
pets, Middendorf stepped smartly up to
conduct it for the first time in public at
the Governors' Reception at the Shera-
ton-Washington. It was played again
before an audience of thousands at the
Sunset Sky Salute on the Mall January
20 and 100,000 copies of the sheet music
were handed out to inaugural visitors in
their hospitality kits.
So who are his favorite composers?
Along with Bach, Mozart, Beethoven
and Mahler? Mention John Philip Sou-
sa, the march king, and his eyes light up.

B
efore World War I, escaping
from Washington meant cross-
ing the river to catch the Great
Falls & Old Dominion Railway for a
Sunday outing to McLean and Great
Falls Park. Today, escaping from the
Capital means moving to McLean, en-
joying the trees and the open spaces, the
active community life, and the relaxed
atmosphere, all the time just 15 minutes
from Connecticut and K.
The life style is wide-ranging. There is
a small black enclave that dates from the
19th century. There is a very wealthy
"Green Book" set with its horses and
homes in the Caribbean or Martha's
Vineyard. There is the government
worker, and the member of Congress,
upper middle class, international in its
outlook; and there is the new wealthy
singles set made up mostly of high-
income computer wizards and investors,
with a few top drawer government of-
ficials and professional people mixed in.
McLean's business district-bounded
by Chain Bridge Road which runs roughly
parallel to Dolley Madison Boulevard
part of the way and intersects with Old
Dominion Drive-about as close as you
can come to the center of town, reflects
the changes brought by high incomes and
lots of discretionary buying power: a
McDonald's can be sandwiched between
a luxury gift shop and a posh clothier; an
exquisite French restaurant may be next
to a barber shop or a filling station.
Never mind that the corners of the
town's center house three service sta-
tions, a carpet store and a real estate of-
fice, McLean is still one of the most af-
fluent places in Fairfax County, one of
the two or three richest counties in the
world. You can hardly call "tacky" a
community that has $200,000 homes
classed as low to moderate-priced hous-
ing, and plenty of homes selling for be-
tween $500,000 and $1 million, even in a
period of tight money and 15 percent in-
terest rates.

not really a definable place by govern-
mental standards, McLean is a commu-
nity, a nice place to be, separated from
Washington by a river and a lifestyle,
but at the same time a place that could
not exist without Washington.
Power is here. So is money. Derived
from Washington, without question,
but it's here. Present and past members
of cabinets, ambassadors, admirals,
generals, present and past senators and
representatives, the governor of Virginia
before the one we have now, and one
who wants to be the next governor.
Presidents and near-Presidents have
lived in McLean-John, Robert and
Ted Kennedy.
It's not Georgetown, not Old Town
and not Cleveland Park. Nor is it The
Plains or Middleburg. In a sense, McLean
is all of these, because it has elements of
each. The luster of Camelot, which the
Kennedys brought to McLean in the 1960s
may have become tarnished. But there is
a new vibrance, a new cosmopolitan
spirit that sets McLean apart and gives it
a character of its own that brings that
"fascinating mix" of people, businesses,
industry and institutions who call
McLean home.

friends Suz.y Barnes, an antique dealer, and

originally a dairy farm. We still have the largest
intact acreage around, 27 acres, with the old
barn and silo. I also keep two riding horses and
a stable, .. Jill Gore says.
"The realtor had three houses

mEALVIN
ROBINSONS:
ROarEDIN
EARLY McLEAN
The history of McLean is, in large
part, the history of the Alvin Robinson
family and its forebears. The family
and its various branches have lived in
McLean for longer than any resident
there can remember, their property on
Crest Lane dating back to the Civil
War. As Jacqueline ("Jackie") Robin-
son remembers: "Payne-probably a
great-grandfather of my husband-was
freed either immediately after the
Civil War or during it, and he pur-
chased a large parcel of property a half-
mile up the road. One of his offspring,
Gunnell, was my husband's grandfather.
He was a minister and built a little box-
like church, Gunnell Chapel, which is
still standing, up there on Route 193-
that's old Georgetown Road-right op-
posite the entrance to Ethel Kennedy's
road. Even when I first married 40
years ago they were still using the
church. At one point, I don't know
where the Robinson line came in, but
my husband's grandfather Robinson
purchased this land, ten acres at the
time. It was a truck farm and he raised
vegetables and supplied his neighbors
with milk from his cows."
She recalls with some bitterness that
the government appropriated three
acres of their land to make a cloverleaf
for the George Washington Parkway
after condemning their property and
failing to inform the Robinsons. Their
parents had died and they were then liv-
ing in Washington, using the McLean
property as a summer vacation spot.
"There was originally a log cabin on
the land, then my husband's father
built our present home that we've sur-
rounded (with room additions). His
grandmother, who lived to be 100,
stayed in the log cabin. The family later
built her a nicer house on the front of
the property but when the government
took the land, they destroyed the house
which was newly remodeled. That was a
blow." The oldest remaining monu-
ment to those days is the 100-year-old
pear tree standing beside the house
which still bears fruit. "Grandpa's
tree" seemed to be ailing a while back,
la/March 1981/Dossier
and Mrs. Robinson called the National
Park Service which ministered to it, and
now it thrives.
Tough as the going may have been at
times for the older Robinsons, "anyone
who wanted to go to school had to go to

11IEYCAU
McLEAN HOME
"You're not caught up in the whirl of
Washington all the time. You can get
your breath and then go back to it."
The Wards find McLean's small
town ambiance irresistible. It's a folksy
business community with the conveni-
ences of a metropolis, where the park-
ing is easy and "the gas station delivers
your car when it's finished." It has
"marvelous shopping from the dress
shops to the International Safeway,
where you food-shop alongside em-
bassy people from around the world."
As native southern Californians who
are here their second time around by
choice, the Wards' insights are signifi-
cant. Eric Ward served in the White
House during the Nixon administration
as assistant to Dr. Lee Dubridge in the
Office of Science and Technology. He
is an electronic engineer in the high
technology field by training and now
owns Fox Jones office products com-
pany. Ann Ward owned a ladies' sports-
wear manufacturing business which she
sold to her employees when they left
California. Before marrying, she was a
buyer for the large Los Angeles depart-
ment store chain, Bullock's, a habit she
"never got over," says husband Eric,
referring to her inveterate shopping.
They left Washington to return to
San Marino five weeks after Watergate
to devote time to their family of three
then-small children-Lisa, Julie and
Eric, Jr. But with Julie's 1980 gradua-
tion from high school, they "pulled up
all stakes" leaving their house in San
Marino to return to Washington. "Our
friends who have never lived here think
'Well, they've really slipped. What's
wrong with them?' And all I can think
to say is 'You've never lived in Wash-
ington. It's just great fun.' People here
put themselves out. They're very open
to finding out what you're like."
The Wards own two McLean homes.
The living room of their current
Ranleigh Road residence overlooks a
drop-off below where Eric plans to put
a tennis court. From their windows they
can see the homes of former Virginia
Governor Linwood Holton and Texas
Representative Jack Brooks, and "the
Strom Thurmonds are just around the
cui de sac." Ann Ward enthused, "The
very second day we were here, the
Holtons invited us to a cocktail par-
ty-Jinx is just a darling lady-and
they told all the neighbors, 'Here are
the people who bought that house.' In
California, you could live there all your
life and not get a welcome like
that-and Californians are supposed to
be so friendly! " -SUSAN ELLIS

interest rates should not be the prin-
cipal deterrent for homebuyers who
want to "move up" into something bet-
ter. If one takes the difference in the
buyer's old interest rate, say 10070, and
the prevailing rate of 14%, the remain-
ing 4% is a lot cheaper than the annual
appreciation rate. Take out the addi-
tional interest deduction and the capital

The popularity of McLean Station homes, developed by Edward R. Carr & Associates, proves the C
tinued interest in dramatic, contemporary detached homes.

REALTORS
SPEAKour
Do you want a custom-built, four-
year-old home with more than 10,000
square feet of living area-for $1.25
million? Then McLean's the place.
But if that's a little too steep, there's
a new home in River Oaks, hard by the
river and just outside the beltway, for
just $850,000.
Those are just two you can see by ap-
pointment if you call Diane von Meis-
ter, owner of von Meister Properties, a
McLean and Potomac firm that spe-
cializes in fine homes.
You could also talk to Grace Kemp-
ton. She's sold a 50-acre estate as well
as homes to former Secretary of the In-
terior Stewart Udall and to Angier Bid-
dle Duke.
It's likely, if you can afford the
monthly payments on homes like these,
that you're getting one of the best in-
vestments in town. Real estate people
agree without exception that McLean
real estate appreciates faster than com-
parable areas-even beating the recent
16 to 17 percent annual appreciation
rate for Northern Virginia.
That may be one of the reasons that
Counsellor to the President, Edwin
Meese III, and Labor Secretary Ray-
mond Donovan bought homes in
McLean.
"I believe people in the Reagan ad-
ministration are well-heeled. As we are
a prestigious area, some of them are
bound to come here to live," says
Pietro Di Benedetto, president of
Magruder & Di Benedetto in McLean.
Joan Powers, McLean manager for
Hugh T. Peck Properties, says McLean
reminds her of the Rocky Mountains as
compared to the Appalachians which
are "mellow, like Alexandria and Ar-
lington, while McLean is raw beauty,
like the Rockies. It's here to stay."
Even despite high interest rates,
homes in the higher price ranges are still
selling briskly in McLean.
Although realtors disagree about the
reason, Marge Kremidas, a Long &
Foster agent in their record-setting
McLean office and a McLean resident,
feels one reason may be the tax deduc-
tibility of interest rates on top of the
premium appreciation rate.
John Jeffries, an agent for the
McLean office of Harper & Co., says

La Mirabelle's intimate decor and fine French cuisine make it a favorite with McLean's resident members of Congress.
TheEducated Palate
AN INTERNATIONAl COOK'S TOUR OF McLEAN
seductively across the ceiling is totally
disarming. The food is middle Eastern-
primarily Turkish-with offerings like
Shish Kabob and braised Lamb Shanks
as well as Mousaka (eggplant and
ground lamb melange sheathed in cheese
bechamel sauce.) Don't miss the shred-
ded chicken in walnut sauce as an ap-
petizer-a very subtle and fragrant
starter. Orange Baklava is a sweet end-
ing to the meal.
Rocco's looks like a roadside diner at
1357-A Chain Bridge Road. It may be a
roadside diner, but the kitchen sings in
Italian. The tables are all covered with
red-checkered tablecloths and come
complete with straw-covered winebot-
tIes. The pizza, especially the Sicilian
Pizza, is very popular, as is the Chicken
Cacciatore, heady with tomatoes and
garlic. It's a very casual and cheerful
way to spend a supper for many
neighbors in McLean.
La Mirabelle is a fine French restau-
rant nestled away in McLean Square
Center at 6645 Old Dominion Drive. It's
small and romantic, but once one goes
through a dark decorated foyer, the
wood panelljng in the dining room is
true to McLean. The Chef has taken
zoo to keep the youngsters entertained.
The Dynasty Restaurant, 6852 Old
Dominion Drive, is a recent Chinese ad-
dition to McLean. The festive red, blue
and yellow painted building beckons one
into a panelled wood ambiance and
friendly service. Cantonese, Peking and
Szechuan style dishes are featured in this
unprepossessing restaurant, like Moo
Shi Pork (shredded pork, egg and vege-
tables served in a thin pancake) and
Shredded Chicken Szechuan Style. The
00 Soup-Cantonese-is a special treat
with assorted meats and vegetables sim-
mered together. They also offer family
dinners and take-out service.
The Joshua Tree, 6930 Old Dominion
Road, has a dark atmosphere of brick
and stained-glass windows inside-and
prime rib and steak are the name of the
game. But hefty salads as well as sea-
food specialties like fried scallops or Co-
quilles St. Jacques are also interesting.
People keep coming back; the meat and
potato types find it very comfortable.
Kazan, 6813 Redmond Drive, is a sur-
prising place. On the outside, it looks
like part of a shopping center. But once
inside a casbah-like atmosphere of white

BERMUDA-THE ULTIMATE OFF-BEAT BRITISH RETREAT
guard Washingtonians who sneak off
regularly to Bermuda for atisfying but
hushed-up fun in the sun. Too much
talk about this oldest British colony
(founded in 1612) might spoil it in the
long run.
Tourism is clearly Bermuda's main
game, and it's played with leisurely, un-
crowded success from March through
November. Last year some 650,000 va-
cationers spent over $550 million (ume-
cessional) dollars in this two-mile-wide
area, a 70 percent contribution to the
colony's economy, and further proof
that there's "something special" about
the fishhook shaped islands which lie
just 600 miles east of Cape Hatteras,
North Carolina.
For instance, Bermuda men have long
been especially stylish in a hairy-legged
way. Where else can one find the male of
Scotland and better (more deserted)
beaches than Hawaii complete with a
colossal climate.

chose to overlook has long been the

The quiet luxury of this home begins with a very special building material ...
Northern White Cedar. Traders' cabins built with it 250 years ago are still
standing. It's fire-resistant, maintenance-free and a natural insulator of
superior quality. When you add the meticulous way we build each home
(every log is hand-peeled twice, every difficult angle is pre-cut perfectly) you
can see why a custom-made Boyne Falls Log Home is unique.

DICTOGRAPH... Because you already know you can't afford anything less.
WE'VE MADE YOUR ECURITY
OUR BUSINESS FOR OVER A QUARTER CENTURY
Since 1954, Dictograph has dedicated itself to providing life safety for hundreds of
thousands of American families. In the past our biggest job was convincing people they
were in danger. But that's all changed.
With break-ins and faceto-face confrontations at an all-time high and the threat from
fire mounting year after year, today's families know they need protection. The best protec-
tion comes from a company that won't cut corners and won't gamble with your life.. ,a
company that places your personal security first, while planning sensible protection for
your valuable property as well.

make you cry. They'll make you scream.
What The Roses do to each other will touch
the nerve of every couple in America.
THE WAR OF THE ROSES is hilarious... and yet
it's ahorror story. It's part Who's
Afraid of Virginia Woolf and yet
it's part great comedy.

Warren Adler's bestselling
novel about the dissolution of amodern
marriage... so terrifyi ng you'll never forget it.

Richard Zanuck and David Brown, produc-
ers of who say, "... We are not only ex-
cited about acquiring the film rights to
Warren Adler's THE WAR OF THE ROSES, we are
thrilled. This book is a dazzler; the wildest,
most outrageous, most
macabre comedic
book we've read
in years."
