A noted sculptor of wood, metal and stone, Marguerite Brunswig Staude is a many faceted woman. An accomplished jewelry-maker, creator of art from found objects, an experimenter in lucite and acrylic composition, she is also an inexhaustable collector of nature and recently has begun weaving and working with textiles. A long-time resident, Mrs. Staude loves Big Sur for its captivating beauty and has complemented well its tradition of creativity. She has been coming to Big Sur since she was a child of six "when there was only the dirt road." Marguerite and her husband Tony have made Big Sur their home since 1956, originally on the site where the first road crews were housed, and later, where the artist Jean Varda and writer Henry Miller lived. Today, the Staude home reflects her personal fusion of art and architecture, etched into the natural envi­ ronment. Knowing sculpture to be her medium since she found herself literally tearing through her paintings "to get to the other side," her artistic aim has been to blend sculptural and architectural elements· to create a statement of even greater impact. "Sculpture seems to complement archi­ tecture," she explains. "When the two come together, you can really express some­ thing," and she has in The Chapel of the HolyCross in Sedona, Ariz.

Supreme Court - Its Own Worst Enemy •

By CAROL HALLETT

It may be appropriate that California's State Supreme Court gets itself into "supreme" messes. .~1 After suffering through a year of the embarrassment of an investigation into alleged political manipulations by some of their number, the justices have now had their pay cut off for . allegedly violating the state Constitution. It all began on election day in November a year ago when California newspapers reported hints from within the court than an important decision-the Tanner case-was being withheld to protect Chief Justice Rose Bird, whose name was • r~:::::=:::===::::::::::=:::=:::==~;-;:;;;::::==:::::::=:::::;:::~:::=::::::::::::=::::=:::=::==~ on the ballot. Bird won confirmation of her appointment by a bare 52 percent of the vote that day and the court has had no peace since. On the following Dec. 22, the court finally handed down its decision in the Tanner case, overruling the Legislature's "use a gun, go to prison" mandate to trial judges. It had taken the • court 10 and a half months to render that decision, counting from February 1978, when oral arguments were heard and briefs submitted. There are some who will argue that Babich's decision to an injunction on the court's pay is unfair, unreasonable and overly harsh. But the fact of the matter is that Babich made the only decision that the law allows-and made it with • Sunset Center Exhibits Women Artists great courage.
