The day has long since passed when one could say that "the sun never sets on the British Empire." This week, Old Sol sank a little lower on the cultural horizon of Southland Anglophiles with word that after Wednesday, the popular BBC-TV series "EastEnders" will no longer be shown locally. KOCE Channel 50, the Orange County public television station with exclusive Southern California rights to "EastEnders," won't pick up the next package of 165 episodes of the British soap because "we can't afford it," the station's program director said this week.

Louis Borick, the founder and longtime chairman of Van Nuys-headquartered Superior Industries International, one of the world's largest manufacturers of aluminum wheels for the automotive industry, has died. He was 87. Borick died of natural causes Monday, two days before his 88th birthday, at his home in Beverly Hills, said his son, Steven. A onetime used-car salesman who sold his half of a business that made clear plastic seat covers in St. Paul, Minn., before moving to Encino in 1956, Borick founded Superior Industries in a 4,000-square-foot plant in North Hollywood a year later.
