George Dantzig,* 90; Created Linear Programming Los Angeles Times, 22 May, 2005 B13, 2005, 1952

"George B. Dantzig,* the mathematician who invented the field of linear programming, which revolutionized the way government and private enterprise planned, scheduled, and generally conducted their business, has died. He was 90.

" . . .

"The scholar developed linear programming-in essence, a decision-support tool that is ideal for resource allocation-while working for the Defense Department after World War II.

"As BusinessWeek reported some years ago, "Dantzig*'s idea was to develop a mathematical model that includes all of the variables of any given manufacturing, scheduling or distribution scenario. With all the pertinent data in place, a linear program computes the most efficient, lowest-cost way to achieve the desired objective."

"About the same time, he invented the "simplex method," an algorithm for solving linear programming problems.

"The virtually simultaneous development of linear programming and computers led to an explosion of applications, especially in the industrial sector,' Arthur F. Veinott Jr., a Stanford professor said in a statement.

"By the early 1950s. private enterprise-initially petroleum companies-had started using Dantzig's methods.

""They started out with the simple problem of how to blend the gasoline for the right flash point, the right viscosity and the right octane and try to do it in the cheapest way possible," Dantzig* told Computerworld magazine some years ago.

"In addition to blending gasoline, oil companies used linear programming in computers to schedule tanker fleets, design port facilities and create financial models. Shipping companies employed the concept to determine truck and plane scheduling.

"Eventually linear programming came to be used in everything from manufacturing to diet planning.

"George Bernard Dantzig* was born in Portland, Ore., on Nov. 8, 1914. His father was Tobias Dantzig, a prominent Latvian mathematician who studied at the Sorbonne in Paris and married before immigrating with his wife to the United States in 1909.

"George Dantzig* showed an early interest in mathematics, especially geometry, and studied at the University of Maryland, where his father was a professor.

"Dantzig* earned his master's degree at the University of Michigan and, after two, years of work at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in Washington, enrolled in a PhD program at UC Berkeley.

"At the outset of World War II, he left to become chief of the combat analysis branch of the Army Air Forces. He later said his mission was to help create order in aircraft-supply flow lines.

""Everything was planned in the greatest detail: all the nuts and bolts, the procurement of airplanes, the detailed manufacture of everything," Dantzig* said. "There were hundreds of thousands of different kinds of material goods and perhaps 50,000 specialities of people."

"In 1944, he received the War Department's Exceptional Civilian Service Medal for his efforts.

"After the war, he returned to Berkeley and finished his PhD work, continuing his studies with mathematician Jerzy Neyman . . . .

"After earning his doctorate, Dantzig* returned to Washington to work for what had by then become the Air Force. His job was mechanizing the planning process. It was during this period that he discovered that linear programs could be used to solve a wide array of planning issues.

"His creation of the simplex method and the development of the modern use of computer research made complicated equations much easier and faster to solve. For instance, they allowed industry to quickly compare the several factors involved in interdependent courses of action.

"In the early 1950s, Dantzig started working for RAND Corp., where he played a major role in developing the new discipline of operational research using linear programming.

"He returned to academia in 1960, as chairman of the Operations Research Center at UC Berkeley. Six years later he moved on to Stanford as professor of operations research and computer science. He retired in 1997.

" . . . .

"He was awarded the National Science Medal in 1975.

"Dantzig* is survived by his wife, Anne, three children, three grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren."

Rebecca Epstein 7 Days in LA: Dudley Does Venice CityBeat 30/12/04, 2005

"We're just a cozy community cinema house," says Gerry Fialka*, curator of 7Dudley Cinema, an alternative, all-volunteer screening venue just off the Venice Boardwalk. . . .

"Fialka, who's been curating film programs since the 1970s and is responsible for local experimental festivals PXL THIS and Documental, began showing odd and amazing works at 7 Dudley in November 2002 when the owner of Sponto Gallery suddenly got access to a video projector . . . Since then, what was once the home of the Venice West Café, a Beat coffee house which, according to Fialka, opened at Sunset, closed at sunrise, and hosted the likes of Kerouac and Ginsburg, celebrates that famously creative Venice vibe with a screening every first and third Wednesday of the month. This will quite literally be the case this coming Wednesday when Fialka holds the Venice Centennial Film Festival. At this one-night-only showcase, he'll present Venice, California: Feeding the Sparrows by Feeding the Horses, a 1978 documentary by Moritz Bormann that explores the city's social and cultural politics at the time, to a backing track of George Clinton and Parliament's "One Nation Under a Groove." Also scheduled is the 1979 short Rockin' at the Ocean by Gretchen Nemzer, plus Windward Avenue Sketches (1976) and Venice Venus (1977), both by Venice historian John "Dr. Video" Hunt. . . . .

"They pay attention when he strolls onto the campus of the high school in Los Angeles-a man sporting white hair and beard and a jolly attitude.

"They pay attention when he strides into a Los Angeles courtroom too, or onto a nightclub stage-a man wearing a suit, carrying a briefcase and toting a five-pound volume of the California Penal Code.

"People pay attention to every incarnation of Kenny Kahn* [1942-2009]: to the 63-year-old lawyer, to the comedian, to the teacher. He's a stand-up kind of guy in a couple of senses of the word, a champion of unpopular causes and of juvenile delinquents because he used to be one.

"The scrappy underdog isn't a role he chose; it's one he was born into. He was the only Jewish teenager in an Eastside housing project. He was stricken with polio. He states that his parents were heroin addicts. The trauma of his young life could have been lifted from the pages of a Charles Dickens novel, but he tells it himself, with some darkly comic moments, in his first and recently published book, The Carny Kid: Survival of a Young Thief.

"He gets paid for lawyering, he gets paid a lot less for comedy, and he gets paid nothing at all for teaching former gangbangers and other teenagers how to stay out of the criminal justice system at Save Our Future charter school south of downtown Los Angeles. He recognizes himself in those hostile kids who sit up straight and listen when he tells them how he got himself out of the projects and into a penthouse.

""I had the perfect negative role models," Kahn* said. "And I didn't want to follow in their footsteps."

"Kahn was born in Los Angeles in 1941. He spent his early childhood on the midway at Ocean Park Pier, one of the many names it bore, an amusement zone on a pier at the end of Ocean Park Boulevard in Santa Monica.

"He writes that his father, Barry*, was a small-time carnival hustler who rigged pinball machines and games of chance. His mother, Faye*, danced the nights away to big-band music in local nightclubs and ballrooms around the pier.

""They each had their own interests, and being in any way good domestic parents was not on the agenda," Kahn states.

"When his brother Ricki* was born in 1944, Kahn*, who was not quite 4, became the primary caregiver. He rarely saw his parents, who gave Kahn* instructions to "never wake them before 2 p.m…. I felt like strangling [Ricki*]," Kahn writes.

"He got out of baby-sitting when he started school in 1946. After school, he roamed the boardwalk, where he made friends and earned pocket change selling newspapers.

"The pier suffered from neglect after World War II, and the customers who had been the elder Kahn's lifeblood soon left.

"When Kenny was 8, he writes, his mother went to jail for having sex with a minor and his father hit the road. Kenny* and Ricki* were sent to a foster home in Alhambra.

"A year later, he writes, the parents retrieved the boys for a family summer business, what carnies called the "hankie-pank" games-rigged games-at county fairs in several states.

"By 1952, Kenny* was earning $20 to $40 a day short changing customers at the dime-toss booth, according to his book. He'd also wax the plates to a sheen, making it virtually impossible for dimes to stick.

"In 1954, the family-which by then included a heroin-addicted baby sister, Cookie, he writes-was evicted for unpaid rent and other bills. They headed to Ramona Gardens, an Eastside public housing project.

"Within weeks, their Lancaster Avenue apartment was a shooting gallery for neighborhood junkies.

"The housing project was-and still is-nestled in a dell between a freeway and railroad tracks at the edge of Boyle Heights. Built in 1941, it was the first housing project in the city. Guns and hard drugs flooded in; staying alive became the definition of success.

"Neglected by his parents, trapped in the projects and afraid to confide in anyone, Kahn took refuge at Lincoln High School. Football boosted his self-esteem.

"But in 1956, his dream of a sports career was dashed by polio. Despite the pain, he lived what he believed was a pretty good life at White Memorial Hospital in Boyle Heights. "It was everything my home was not-clean, safe and filled with considerate people."

"When he left the hospital, he went back to class, hauling himself about on crutches and hobbling two miles to school. He was so exhausted that even his parents' all-night raging battles over who got the most heroin couldn't keep him awake.

"Inspired by a dedicated social studies teacher named Raymond Lopez, he soon found education as a way out of his predicament. "I didn't see any people living in the projects with college degrees," he said.

""Lopez set off a spark in me that ignited a thirst for knowledge," Kahn* said.

"In 1957, Kahn*, by then 16, bought an aging Ford for $100. When students in the automotive class sabotaged it, the shop teacher took Kahn aside and suggested he read How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

""It was a lesson in humility." Kahn figured out that the other kids "thought I was a snob, and getting good grades didn't help." He stopped walking around with his head in the air and went on to win speech contests and be elected student body president in 1958. He opened each assembly with a comic monologue-the beginning of his comedy career.

"On graduation day, he won the American Legion "Boy of the Year" award, but it was his mother's accomplishment that made him proudest: After a decade of drug abuse, she had quit cold turkey and had watched her son graduate.

"Still spending summers as a carny with his father, he worked his way through L.A. City College and UCLA, studying political science and graduating in 1962. But he still had no salable skills.

""I was really an accomplished carnival thief making $100 a day, but that's not how I wanted to be judged," he said.

"So he went to UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law and became a street-wise lawyer. First, he defended his father's carny pals, keeping them out of jail.

"In 1972, he said he found his father dead of a drug overdose in a Hollywood motel. His mother died in 1989, still drug-free.

"He never lost his affection for representing characters. His clients have included Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt and convicted spy Andrew Daulton Lee, whom Sean Penn portrayed in the 1985 movie The Falcon and the Snowman.

"In 1987, Kahn was defending a man accused of assaulting a police officer when he and the client got into an argument in a Torrance courtroom. The client pulled out an ice pick and stabbed Kahn in the chest.

""My life turned around after that incident because it brought the issue of mortality into my consciousness," he said. "I decided I'd rather go out and create laughter instead of dealing with cranky judges." So he joined a comedy workshop and hit the stage between court gigs.

"From pizza parlors and bowling alleys to seeing his name in lights-four years ago at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas-Kahn keeps making people laugh. He also keeps taking care of his brother, who he said is a recovering alcoholic. His sister lives in Seattle.

"And on Friday, Kahn* announced a program for his high school alma mater. He will begin handing out the Raymond V. Lopez creative writing awards, named for his favorite teacher.

""I don't like all this fuss," said Lopez, who retired from Lincoln High School in 1980 after 33 years of teaching. "[Kahn*] is the one who had the gift of gab. He was talented, confident and loved being in the limelight. But he also knew the limits to my patience and, by my faces and gestures, when to sit down."

"The awards will range from $25 to $250. "I hope [students] use the money to continue improving their language skills," Kahn* said."

Cecilia Rasmussen L.A. Then and Now: In 'Whites Only' Era, an Oasis for L.A.'s Blacks Los Angeles Times, 3 July 2005 B2, 1950s, 1940s, 1930s, 1920s

Inkwell in Santa Monica was the only local beach African Americans could go to in the 1920s. It was also home to the first black surfer.

"When 17-year-old Verna Deckard* and her fiance, 21-year-old Arthur Lewis*, visited Santa Monica in 1924, Inkwell Beach was the only place they could spread a blanket.

""All the rest of the beach … you couldn't go there unless you belonged to a club, and we couldn't belong to a club" because of racial restrictions, she recalled in a four-hour interview for the Los Angeles Public Library's Shades of L.A. project, which was taped before Verna Deckard Lewis Williams*, as she later became, died in 1998.

"During the 1920s, Inkwell was an oasis for African American beachgoers -the only part of the sand they were allowed to set foot on, except, briefly, for a small section of Manhattan Beach. The 200-foot-long roped-off area at the foot of Pico Boulevard was marked "for Negroes only." Although racial restrictions on public beaches were invalidated by the courts in 1927 and generally disappeared by the 1930s, blacks continued to call Inkwell their own through the early 1950s.

"The impetus for Inkwell came when a young black chauffeur named Arthur Valentine and his family and friends brazenly settled on a section of the "whites only" beach for Santa Monica's Memorial Day festivities in 1920. Three police officers ordered them to leave.

"When the group refused, one officer picked up and "tossed aside a small black child who got in their way," Douglas Flamming wrote in "Bound for Freedom: Black Los Angeles in Jim Crow America," a book published in 2005. The police beat Valentine and then shot him, Flamming wrote.

"When Valentine filed a complaint, the authorities charged him with assault with a deadly weapon. If he had had a weapon, historical records do not indicate what it was.

"The Los Angeles County Civil Service Commission had the power to investigate Valentine's complaint but refused because of the charges against him. He turned to Los Angeles Dist. Atty. Thomas Lee Woolwine, who was highly respected for his unbiased treatment of minorities. Woolwine filed felony assault charges against the officers.

"Over the next three years, Flamming wrote, Valentine was assaulted by the police periodically. Woolwine was heckled by the Ku Klux Klan. Finally, the charges against the officers were dismissed for lack of evidence. The charges against Valentine were dropped too.

"The incident prompted blacks to claim their own sliver of public beach near the Crystal Plunge, a former open-air swimming pool that had been destroyed by a flood in 1905, then abandoned. The area was a polluted, debris-filled spot that no one else wanted. Around 1922, it became known as Inkwell Beach.

"Inkwell offered ocean breezes, swimming, volleyball and a small, black-owned bathhouse called La Bonita, which rented swimsuits to black beachgoers. It was on Pico Boulevard several blocks off the beach.

"Williams, who was from Texas, loved Los Angeles because blacks had more freedom here than in the South. "You couldn't even go to the park in Texas," she said.

"But it was far from perfect. Most black visitors to Inkwell rode in the back of the Big Red Cars along the Pacific Electric trolley lines down Pico Boulevard to Santa Monica Beach. Williams drove her own little Ford, often filled with the "Joy Girls," her new group of friends.

"Since the early 1900s, a black community had thrived near 4th and Bay streets, where the 100-year-old Phillips Chapel CME Church stands today. But coastal land was becoming more valuable and, as Santa Monica's black population increased, whites' hostility and racism grew.

"In 1922, homeowners formed the Santa Monica Bay Protective League to drive blacks out, according to newspaper coverage at the time. "Settlement of Negroes Is Opposed," a Times headline read. The group's agenda, The Times wrote, was "eliminating all objectionable features or anything that now is or will prove a menace to the bay district … or prove detrimental to our property values."

"Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce President Sylvester L. Weaver Sr. urged fellow chamber directors to stop the sale of private beach in Santa Monica before the public found "the ocean fenced off." He continued: "In front of where I have a summer residence … a piece of land has been fenced off and none but colored people allowed. I was born pretty far south to have that in front of my house."

"In actuality, the beach was public; it was merely fenced off, as many other areas were for whites.

" Black investors had tried to purchase the adjacent Crystal Plunge site; they were rejected. But in 1924, it was sold to white developers who wanted to build a private beach club and hotel. Even before they broke ground, builders erected fences for the "safety of our members," The Times reported.

"The Italian Renaissance Revival building, designed by architect Charles F. Plummer, became the Club Casa del Mar, opening in 1926. During Prohibition, wealthy white tourists went there for swinging beach parties, dinner dances and illicit gambling and drinking.

"Next door, Inkwell patrons reaped the benefits of the fancy hotel by dancing to the tunes of big bands that played at the posh address.

"Blacks also played volleyball and took late-night dips in the surf with the help of the hotel's floodlight system.

"Williams remembered once when playing with a beach ball at Inkwell the ball accidentally flew over the fence onto Club Casa Del Mar's turf.

""When I ran over there to get it, a little old lady comes running up to me saying, 'You got no business over here.' And I just looked at her, didn't say anything. I just took my ball and went back, where I belonged."

"In the early 1920s, developers in Santa Monica and elsewhere put racial restrictions on deeds, barring "Negroes from ownership and occupation" of land.

"When Sunday night dances at a black-owned club, George Caldwell's Dance Hall at Pico Boulevard and 3rd Street, were a little too rowdy, neighbors complained and the city banned dances.

"When a group of black investors tried to build a resort, including a bathhouse with beach access and an amusement center, the city denied construction permits.

"Property owners pulled the plug on all land sales to black buyers. (The U.S. Supreme Court struck down racial covenants in 1948.)

"In 1935, the Pico-Kenter storm drain was built at Inkwell to carry gutter runoff out to sea. The drain remains; it has been a source of pollution over the years.

"In the 1940s, Inkwell became home to the first documented black surfer.

"Nick Gabaldon, one of about 50 black Santa Monica High School students, was tall, handsome and athletic.

"He befriended the nearby lifeguards and, using their 13-foot rescue surfboard, quickly mastered the new sport of "wave riding."

"Nat Trives, 70, remembers Inkwell and the culture that spawned it. Inkwell was where he took his first dip in the ocean when he arrived with his family from Birmingham, Ala., in 1949.

"" . . . attended Santa Monica High School.

"Trives was chairman of the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce [in 2004], and in 1975, he became the city's first black mayor.

Subject: Poetry Reading . . .
Dear Barbara,

Mary and I went to hear Philip Levine read his poetry at Beyond Baroque last Friday evening and it was of course an evening of two poets reading, the other being Naomi Replansky, who I didn't know. She was very good. And Philip Levine was superb, much funnier than I'd supposed. The house was full, and they were also reading the next night in a tribute to Thomas McGrath, another poet. It was engrossing and fun. I became trapped in my coat which was trapped in my chair, and with Mary's help was able to free myself mostly inconspicuously. This morning I saw Ms. Replansky at the Ocean Park Farmer's Market, and thanked her for her reading.
