...performing today" by one critic - leading a stellar cast. On Dec. 2, however, a mechanical failure of the hall's stage works that forced the cancellation of several performances demonstrated just how risky and tenuous such triumphs can be. A temporary fix has salvaged the season, but the brief hiatus turned the spotlight on the scale of Valencia's ambition...
...prison hospital. I recovered, but then I had a bad hemorrhage. When the bleeding was brought under control, I was taken to the hospital for an examination. The ''doctor'' was a young woman in her early twenties, with an armband of the Revolutionaries. She was clumsy, and after the brief examination she told the guard I had cancer of the uterus.

...After graduating from Smith (like her mother and grandmother) she went to Columbia School of Journalism and studied in France, working summers at the Houston Chronicle. Then a brief gig at the Minneapolis Tribune, followed by six years as co-editor of The Texas Observer with friend Kaye Northcott. The two cut a swath through Texas politics in grand Observer tradition, investigating and exposing misdeeds and championing causes. In person, the two looked nothing like a duo from central casting - Molly beyond six feet, with big hair and a wide laugh; Kaye, petite, tiny, birdlike - but both gritty journalists...
