SUSAN Salter Reynolds' characterization of Venice founder Abbot Kinney as "equal parts shyster and urban visionary" ["Fall's Hush Breaks Over Venice" Oct. 27] is only half-true. No question about it, Kinney was a dreamer and a doer. His wide-ranging accomplishments as an entrepreneurial innovator, pioneering environmentalist, public-spirited philanthropist, as well as being an early entertainment industry mogul, certify him for inclusion in that mythic pantheon of great Americans. By the time Kinney arrived in Southern California in January 1880, the 29-year-old had traveled the world twice, learned five languages and become a tobacco tycoon.

The Bel-Air estate that was home to two California State University chancellors and the site of countless fund-raising events since 1972 will be sold to a Los Angeles investor for $3.61 million, a committee of university trustees decided Tuesday. David Maimon, 32, offered the highest of 18 bids for the gated 1.8-acre estate.

Malcolm A. Love, the highly respected president of then San Diego State College for 19 years and an administrator so popular that students and faculty alike prevailed on him to stay on past his scheduled retirement, died Saturday at Hillside Hospital in San Diego. He was 86; his death followed what was described as a long illness. During Love's tenure, the college grew into a university and its enrollment rose by more than 20,000 students.

Three-hundred pals of the Doheny Eye Institute were back in the saddle again Monday evening at the Beverly Wilshire--this time in black tie and with that American treasure, Gene Autry. He received the institute's first Doheny Award. "I think they put in three corneas--or whatever you call them--before one really took," said America's favorite cowboy (that's what benefit chairman Montgomery Fisher called him), "but I can still see pretty well out of the other eye."

James W. Cleary, former president of Cal State Northridge who led the institution through a period of unprecedented growth that transformed it from a sleepy, mostly white commuter school to a diverse and respected university, has died. He was 80. Cleary, whose 23-year tenure as president was the longest in CSUN's history, died Saturday at his home in Boise, Idaho. He had been in failing health for some time, according to his daughter Janet.

The California State University system is planning to sell the multimillion-dollar Bel-Air residence of its chancellor in a further effort to ease criticism about extravagance that led to last week's forced resignation of Chancellor W.
