Perhaps you’ve attended some parties. But like New York，where a party or dinner often     36     business with pleasure, a Washington party is a     37     part of the business of politics, the business of making     38     connections.
Some Washington parties have a     39     aura (气氛) about them, depending on who gives them and who is there, but most parties are open-house     40     in fact, with the hosts not knowing most of the     41     who are there.
I went to a few of these parties     42     I wanted to see the inside of some of the Washington mansions (公馆) I had     43     so much about. Almost every time during the evening some man would e close to talk with me     44    , we didn’t know each other at all. Such a     45     exchange clearly proves “a gathering of friends”     46     Washington party standards. You don’t even need an     47     to attend many Washington parties. You just have to know about them. No Washington hostess would     48     her servants to ask you who you were. Most of the bigger parties, those with 300 or 400 guests,     49     to impress somebody, and Washingtonians      50    .
Most members of the Congress ,for example,     51     middle-class backgrounds in smaller munities     52     the country. They are dazzled (眼花缭乱的) by     53    . They are dazzled by big names. They are ready to help Washington     54     hostesses. They go along with them because they are good friends or they don’t notice that they     55     or they don’t care if they are.
