WASHINGTON POST DETAILS STEP-BY-STEP OF MCI CENTER DEAL

     The development of the new MCI Center in downtown DC is
featured in an in-depth piece in Sunday's WASHINGTON POST
Magazine.  Peter Perl examines the role of the National Capital
Development Corp., made up of the city's business elite, as lead
negotiator on behalf of the city with Caps/ Bullets Owner Abe
Pollin.  Perl: "In the end, the arena proved too big to fail: If
the project embodies all the divisions that beset the city, it
also made a singular match between the desires of powerful
individuals and the District's pressing needs" (WASHINGTON POST,
4/21).
