...Jolla, Director Robert Woodruff and Translator Roger Downey added evocations of Imelda Marcos and of assassinated Nicaraguan Dictator Anastasio Somoza: a suitcase filled with shoes and black brassieres, Latin-style music pulsing along a castle wall painted with austere political slogans. But rather than a satire, the production was a dreamlike allegory about the corruption of all plutocrats and of all firebrands. Woodruff and Set Designer Douglas Stein offered dazzling visual imagery, from a demented New Year's Eve ball to a row of garret apartments that appeared, suffused with golden light, halfway up the back wall of the stage...

When Judy Woodruff became a TV news anchor in Atlanta in 1972, the station ordered her to cut her shoulder-length hair. Mary Alice Williams was urged in 1979 by NBC's New York station to change her eye color with tinted contact lenses. Dorothy Reed was forbidden in 1980 by ABC's San Francisco station to plait her hair in corn rows. The three women, and many of their counterparts, cheered last week when Christine Craft, 38, won a $500,000 damage verdict against the former owners of a Kansas City station, KMBC, that dropped...
