1975 Year

The judge in the case of accused Symbionese Liberation Army member Sara Jane Olson issued strict guidelines Tuesday for television coverage of her upcoming trial. Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler said witnesses will not automatically be on TV. Instead, he will decide on a witness-by-witness basis. Fidler said the cameras must be stationary at all times. Because of public safety issues, he said, he will not allow any TV coverage of testimony regarding how to make bombs.

A witness expected to testify in the murder conspiracy case of alleged Symbionese Liberation Army member Sara Jane Olson suffered a heart attack Tuesday night and has been hospitalized, according to prosecutors. Evelyn Burns, 78, has become the third elderly witness for the prosecution to suffer a health setback in the last couple of weeks. Prosecutors have been allowed to proceed with what are called conditional examinations, or interviews, of the witnesses before the trial starts.

Witnesses have died or disappeared. Pieces of evidence are lost. Even the murder scene has been demolished. But the oldest "cold case" in Orange County history to result in murder charges went to trial Monday, with prosecutors arguing that they can prove who was behind the 1975 shooting of Larry Wheelock.

Attorneys for a man arrested last year in a 25-year-old Orange County murder want the charges dismissed because they say authorities took too long to crack the case, crippling his defense efforts. In the quarter-century it took authorities to arrest Larry Donnel Paige for a Santa Ana murder, 12 witnesses died, 95 others moved and several pieces of evidence were destroyed, defense attorneys alleged in court documents.

An Orange County judge refused Friday to dismiss charges against a man arrested last year in connection with a 1975 homicide, rejecting defense contentions that police waited too long to try to link him to the crime. Authorities arrested Larry Donnel Paige after matching one of his fingerprints to prints at the scene of a Santa Ana slaying.

John R. Wooden, who died Friday at age 99, left for the ages an exemplary body of work in which the rewards, ten-fold, outweighed the trials. No rendering of Wooden's legacy, though, is complete without mention of a man who influenced one of sport's most unimpeachable dynasties: Sam Gilbert. If Wooden was the father figure of UCLA basketball, Gilbert was its shadowy one. Gilbert was a small, burly, self-made man with unfettered devotion to the Bruins. He could be benevolent yet, to nose-poking reporters, a bully.

The council pledged $6,000 to the South Bay Juvenile Diversion Project, which provides counseling and job training to first-time law offenders. Lomita has participated in the project since its inception in 1975. Last year, 32 Lomita youths were served by the agency.

Valerie Rose Laub, the daughter for whom pop-jazz singer Phoebe Snow put her career on hold, has died. She was 31. A statement issued Thursday by a family spokesman said only that she had died suddenly on March 19. Snow interrupted a promising career after charting the pop hit "Poetry Man" in 1975, the year Valerie was born with severe brain damage, because Snow didn't want to institutionalize her daughter. They had lived in recent years in Fort Lee, N.J. -- Randy Lewis
