POMPEII T wenty -TWO twisting kilometers from down- town Naples sits a city still hunched from the once hot breath of a now becalmed Vesu- vius. It is a dusty Old World ghost town — originally embalmed in volcanic cinder, now two-thirds laid bare to the tourist ' s cold eye. The Pompeii story is one of partial then total destruction. In 63 A.D. earthquake cracked the foundation stones of the city, then, 16 years later, the volcanic eruption that drowned Herculaneum incidentally eliminated Pompeii. Deadly gases, coupled with the en- suing ash, killed most of the 25,000 inhabi- tants so that today, nearly a thousand years later, bread is still found in the ovens and jugs of wine sit in vinegary testimony to the powers of 79 A.D. The first traffic regulators — stones set across streets for dry passage from sidewalk to side- walk, spaced the width of a chariot ' s wheel apart — still mark many intersections. Phallic symbols adorn many houses. In effect, Pom- peii is a city one day called to its death. It laid down its needles and butter knives and hammers and hoes . . . and went. Today its statues and its dogs are equally well preserved in Naples Museum.

A city of many architectures and many moods, where all the light shines through a few windows and people have arguments for hreakfast. A city that took us, hut not our clothes, to the cleaners.
