- GET WILLARD. Critics of Capitol Hill have long
- characterized it as a rat's nest. Apparently taking that moniker
- to heart, a real rat made a home for itself inside a Xerox
- copier in the Cannon Office Building. Dubbed Willard by
- staffers, the rodent stocked its lair with banana peels,
- corncobs and a Hostess Twinkie. Since the ruined machine had to
- be replaced at a cost of $107,000, a massive rat hunt was begun.
- Three dead rats eventually turned up, and staffers said one of
- them fitted Willard's description.
