Representatives of striking workers, management and workers who have returned to work exchanged charges of harassment, intimidation and not acting in good faith at a public hearing called by the council after a similar hearing last week failed to bring the strike situation any closer to resolution...
...Ragtime Dance Company," which closed the evening, came closer to technical ease. This melange of music hall parody is designed for soap-operatic hamming, and the company isn't formed from the Cologne Opera for nothing. Again, the essential humor of the piece was unrealized. Suggestions of parody were thrown out: the troupe member who always upstages the others, the girl on roller skates pushed toward--oops--the audience...but the performance tripped on the untied shoestring of its imperfect technique and fell flat.

But Steve Suitts, state director of the American Civil Liberties Union, is closer to general Alabama sentiment: "Judge Heflin is one of the few people in this state about whom my grandmother, my mother and I all agree." Heflin has chosen to step down from office when his term expires in January, and many expect him to run for Governor or the U.S. Senate within the next few years...
