Because so much grim business is conducted in this city during the week, Redskin losses on Sunday are ominous events. On Moseley's right leg sways the mood of the Government. Last week, when Moseley broke Garo Yepremian's record of 20 straight field goals, Senators Paul Laxalt and John Warner hurried from the game after the first quarter to vote to keep the Republic going, but were back for the finish.

Serge Parquet, 52, came all the way from Paris with his tepee; as "Chief Walking Bear" he is president of France's Le Cercle Peau-Rouge Huntka (Huntka Redskin Circle). "This is like Mecca to a Muslim," he told TIME Correspondent Lee Griggs. Special guests at this year's council were a group of authentic American Indians. Dave Bald Eagle, a full-blooded Cheyenne River Sioux from South Dakota was amazed at the expertise. He said: "These people...
