...Pentagon is the most formidable redoubt in official Washington. Squat and solid as a feudal fortress, it hunkers in a remote reclaimed Virginia swamp that used to be called Hell's Bottom, across the Potomac River from the spires, colonnades and domes of the federal city. Through its two tiers of subbasements and five aboveground stories, windowless corridors weave like badger warrens. The bastion of America's military establishment not only houses the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and a mint of high brass, but is also a beehive of bureaucracy where some...

This line combination is fast enough to lead Vie Gatto around end, strong enough to enable Ric Zimmerman to sneak for five or ten yards when the defense gears for Gatto, and uniformly solid enough to protect a passer (Zimmerman has been harrassed only thrice thus far). And what makes Feula happy is the depth behind his starters: it is much stronger than in previous years...
