The Wild Bunch

Like everything in America, the Congressional Page program was a hell of a lot more fun in the old days. According to Ron Kessler's book "Inside Congress," before the lame era of Instant Messages and "What are you wearing?" come-ons, pages did what kids are supposed to do: raise hell, get high, swim naked and have sex with each other. Girl pages particularly enjoyed driving the Capitol cops crazy with lust:

At the beginning of their shifts, Capitol Police officers would make it a practice to "stake out" the building at 235 2nd Street NE. "It was nicknamed 'virgin village' because female pages undressed there without putting down their blinds," Terry Coons, a former Capitol Police officer, told me. "It was a gathering place for officers for the first hour."

"They left their blinds open, and undressed," said Wayne Beckett, another former Capitol Police officer. "The officers watched. They [the female pages] were teases. They knew what they were doing. We would shine flashlights at them, and they would leave the blinds open ... They totally undressed and pranced around."
