- <p> OUT, OUT, DAMNED SPOT. Those stains that just wouldn't wash
- away on the steps and pillars of the Capitol in Washington
- proved to be human blood. It was thrown during a demonstration
- for the homeless by two members of the Community for Creative
- Non-Violence. They "shed their blood for the dispossessed,"
- said Mitch Snyder, the Community's director. Scrubbing didn't
- work; normal bleach didn't work. The Architect of the Capitol
- came up with Toultice, made especially for marble, and after
- three applications, the blood is gone. "The problem now," says
- spokesman Bill Raines, "is that the bloodstained area is a shade
- lighter than the rest of the Capitol."
