<p> Do you ever wonder how Washington really works?
Twenty-three leaders of top U.S. and foreign corporations tried
to find out last week in a three-day, TIME-sponsored visit to
the nation's capital. White House Chief of Staff John Sununu
opened the TIME Executive News Conference with a spirited
defense of the President's first 100 days. Cabinet Secretaries
painted a dismaying picture of U.S. drug, environmental and
educational problems. One morning was spent in the CIA's domed
and soundproofed "bubble" with officials, including Director
William Webster. In a majestic Supreme Court conference room,
Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy paced cheerfully as he quoted
from Shakespeare and the Constitution. Assuring his visitors
that it was all right to stay longer, Kennedy quipped, "Hey, I'm
going to be here for the rest of my life."
</p>
<p> At the end, the participants appeared more confident about
America's international position than its domestic challenges.
"I was impressed by the seriousness of our domestic problems,"
said James Harvey, chairman of Transamerica Corp. "But at least
we are squarely facing them. In business, half the solution is
simply knowing the problem."
