- <p> Old radicals never die. They just keep getting angrier. When
- residents of Sunset Hall, a retirement home for religious
- liberals in Los Angeles, learned it was to be closed and sold
- to a private developer, they did what comes naturally:
- organize, protest and stonewall. Founded in 1924 by the First
- Unitarian Church, Sunset Hall had housed such prominent figures
- as anti-McCarthy activist Rose Chernin and Waldemar Hille,
- accompanist to Paul Robeson. The remaining nine residents
- threatened to stage a noisy demonstration outside Sunset Hall
- on the day it closed.
- </p>
- <p> Last week their efforts paid off: the administrator and ten
- of Sunset Hall's twelve board members resigned. The new board
- is pledged to keeping the home open by recruiting new residents
- and raising funds from the community. Already more than $15,000
- in donations has come in--and, since this is Hollywood, a
- movie about the victory is in the works.
