WASHINGTON THE CAPITAL, THE CITY, THE CAMPUS W ashington is a city that can break a mother ' s heart. For a student to use the word home to describe anything but that small frame house in Bristol or that rambling 32-acre farm outside De- catur, may be an even greater sin than not writ- ing the folks every other week. But the Thurstonite or the Law Center commuter may find it as easy a mistake to make. Sarasota, Cherry H ill, or even New Delhi just can ' t fight living history — and having a good time while doing it, Whether working for the 27th Amendment and equal rights, or at the 21st Amendment for spending money, Washington is just not the sleepy southern town it once was — well, until 10 p.m, on week nights anyway. Sure, it ' s the nation ' s captiai. But there is something more endearing, more penetrating about life in Washington: con- trasting variety. Everything in the District has its doppleganger, its alter ego. And because the city covers a mere 69 square miles of urbanity, the contrasts often sit right on top of one another — forcing you to think, allowing you to laugh, and sometimes tugging at your heart, Washing- ton is our campus — with all the trimmings.

Spring- time cues the Cherry Blossom Festival and a spe- cial day of frisbees flying high about the Washington Monument. And of course the Presi- dent might helicopter overhead just about any- time. By day, Washington ' s unique bureaucratic and corporate legions pound a K street beat, uniformed in their polyester vests or Brooks Brothers collars. Newspaper barkers practice their trade; souvenir vendors trade their wares. Lamppost flags lining Pennsylvania Avenue could announce a federal holiday or signal peace treaty negotiations at Blair House. The day ' s protest march may draw more police than demonstrators, or more farmers and tractors than the city has cabbies and hacks. Nothing is very far from anything in Washing- ton. A stroll up 20th Street leads to Embassy Row and the century-old estates born in an era of splendid indifference. It ' s a hop on a “thirty bus to the elegant dining, intimate discos, and cool jazz of Georgetown. Hunger pangs may call out for prime rib at the Sans Souci , or a Big Mac at its next door neighbor, Neighbors may in fact be the essence of the Washington appeal — and its ironies.
