ANOTHER problem was that The Light Company simply didn't go far enough in the direction that it did take. Leven's original cast and crew walked out in December, charging excessive demands on the part of the director. Their replacements had only eleven days of rehearsal before the show opened. Little use was made of most of the auditorium's electronic equipment. There was no one around who really knew how to utilize all of it. During its first few weeks, the show began to exploit the many available effects. They introduced polarized light; original films would soon...
...Barbara with concrete, making it finally as dead as the multitude of creatures, from sea urchins to seals, that it had doomed. Facing Union was a brace of lawsuits, notably one for $1.3 billion on behalf of all damaged parties, and another by California's attorney general. During eleven days, the well had spouted more than 200 thousand gallons. Drilling will doubtless resume quickly, but it may take years before the ecological balance of Santa Barbara bay is restored...
...breakthrough for Garrison came in what will probably be one of his few courtroom appearances, since he leaves most trial work to assistants. While the jury and two alternates were being chosen (an all-male group with eleven whites, three Negroes, only two college graduates among them), Garrison entered the Orleans Parish Criminal courtroom just once, and then only as a spectator.

...sports were fully integrated, before it removed the Caucasian-only clause from its membership requirements. Even now, the majority of blacks seen on the pro circuit are still the caddies. Of the 300 pros on last year's tour, only six were Negro. This season there are eleven, and though such experienced competitors as Sifford and Lee Elder, 33, who finished seventh in the recent Bing Crosby National, are capable of winning any tournament, they agree that it will probably be five years or more before any Negro golfer can hope to join the ranks...
Little Chance. Now the beleaguered agency has a new chief, the first woman ever to boss a U.S. regulatory commission. She is Virginia Mae Brown, 45, a lively brunette and loyal Democrat who was appointed to the eleven-member commission in 1964 by Lyndon Johnson. Having succeeded to the ICC's annually rotating chairmanship this year, she leads a staff of 1,784 that processes about 6,000 cases a year. "Peaches" Brown, as the ICC's $29,500-a-year chairman is known, also manages to take care of two children and make frequent trips home...
