...jolting revelations that Fedders had beaten his wife were contained in court papers in Maryland. Suing for a divorce after 18 years of marriage, Charlotte Fedders, 41, described herself as "a classic abused wife." An outgoing, statuesque (5 ft. 9 in.) woman, she had once worshiped her husband, a 6-ft. 10-in. former basketball center at Marquette University, and she routinely laid out his suit, socks and underwear in the morning. But barely two years after they were married, she testified, her husband struck her on the side of the head, rupturing an eardrum. Mrs. Fedders recounted that when...
...afternoon study in Washington's extremes, how about this: Head up to Valu Village on 14th St. N.E. near the Maryland border, in a neighborhood that usually is--and for good reason--deserted after dark. It still offers real bargains, unlike Keezer's. Recently, Brooks Brothers shirts were 15 cents, cashmere sweaters 35 cents, and most overcoats $1.95.

...phrase is at once geographical and conceptual. The Beltway is a 66-mile highway that encompasses the District of Columbia and parts of Maryland and Virginia. Some 1.5 million people live within its confines, sustained by Government jobs, contracts, consultancies and the endless tasks of explaining and influencing the federal behemoth. "They are the most protected single group of people in America today," says the President's pollster, Richard Wirthlin, whose studies show these citizens far beyond the norm in education, income and political involvement. They are shielded from most economic shocks by the deep pockets of the U.S. Treasury...
Mornings near sunrise, John Williams, a national park service ranger at the monument grounds, wheels his Toyota up out of the underpasses near the Kennedy Center. When he sees the spire, he feels better. The monument always says something a little different when it greets him. The Maryland marble of which it is constructed has a special quality that picks up the light of the hour and seems to subtly intensify it. "There it is," Williams says to himself, and then he studies the graceful shape to see what shades of gold or pink or gray are mixed...
