Ballet
in tight
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -
The men and women dancers of
the San Francisco Ballet may
have to hang up their tights
and tutus.
A company spokesman said
Wednesday that the company
was $700,000 in debt and, unless
an angel is found in two weeks,
this will be the demise of the
ballet.
The dancers themselves have
tried door-to-door canvassing
for funds but this has failed to
generate enough money.
The spokesman said the
recession and sagging stock
market have reduced large
contributions from wealthy
citizens.
He toppled
big tower
GREENFIELD, Mass. (UPI)
— Samuel Lovejoy, 27, of
Montague, Mass., is conducting
his own defense against
charges he toppled a 500-foot
meterological tower because of
his opposition to nuclear power
plants.
Lovejoy, who police allege at
one time admitted responsibili
ty for the toppling of the tower
last Feb. 22, has a battery of
scientists and writers to add to
his defense that what he did
was not a malicious act, but
was done to prevent construc
tion of nuclear facilities.
The charges against the critic
of nuclear power are “mali
cious and willful” destruction of
private property. The tower,
located on Montague Plain in
Montague, was reported valued
at more than $50,000.

Griffin Daily News Thursday, September 19,1974
research established that the
bite marks “are in complete
and satisfactory harmony with
the dental configurations of the
teeth of the suspect.”
Walter E. Marx, 32, is on
trial in Superior Court for the
February slaying of Lovey
Benovsky, 73, whose strangled
and stabbed body was found in
her bed.
Police called Sognnaes in on
the case to assist in identifying
teeth marks left on Mrs.
Benovsky’s nose by the killer
before she died.
Dr. Sognnaes said it is “very
unlikely” that two humans
would have the same dental
characteristics.
