This is Judgment Day for the Beverly...

<i> From Staff and Wire Reports</i>

This is Judgment Day for the Beverly Hills Cop-Slapper. And to give you an inkling of what Zsa Zsa’s fate in Beverly Hills Municipal Court may be, we offer some suggestions that the San Jose Mercury News recently received when it held a contest to find an appropriate sentence.

Readers variously decreed that Gabor should be forced to:

* “Sell her biography rights to Bob Woodward.”

* “Appear on a ‘Hollywood Squares’ reunion, with herself in the middle square surrounded by her ex-husbands.”

* “Be confused with Eva for the rest of her career by everyone she meets.”

One entrant rhapsodized:

Zsa Zsa in jail?

She’d soon grow too pale;

Public service’s a must,

The Humane Society we can trust;

They’ve animals galore,

She can help clean up the store!

And the envelope, please . . .

The winner was Cindy Gum of Los Gatos, who wrote:

“Recipe for Hungarian goulash: Toss Gabor, Imelda and Leona together into one cell. Add one toilet, a small cracked mirror with NO MAKEUP LIGHTS, and one half-sink. Wait for goulash to boil. For dessert, add Tammy Faye.”

Gum’s prize was dinner for two at the Hungarian Huszar restaurant, the newspaper said, “in that Budapest by the Bay, otherwise known as Newark.”

From the streets of Beverly Hills to the lanes of the Harbor Freeway. . . .

Motorists crawling along in jam-ups are pretty much limited in what they can do to pass the time--listen to the radio, apply makeup or shave, talk on the phone, shake a fist at the maniac who cuts in front.

But hostages of the Harbor Freeway the past few evenings near the Coliseum had another option. They could buy hats, T-shirts and tickets related to the Rolling Stones concert.

Vendors stood on the freeway hawking items. Not pleased by the service, the California Highway Patrol says about a dozen of them were cited.

However, no charges were brought against service station operators near the Coliseum who charged $30 for parking.

You wouldn’t usually expect to find a church featuring (1) a stained-glass window depicting a soldier in a tank and (2) a statue of a uniformed soldier in front.

But the Church of Our Saviour in San Gabriel has some unique pioneer roots.

One of the founders of the 122-year-old Episcopalian church was Benjamin Wilson. An extensive landholder, he was mayor of Los Angeles from 1851-52 and later a state senator. Mt. Wilson is named for him.

His grandson grew up on his rancho in San Gabriel and gained fame as a general during World War II. After the general’s death in 1945, his sister dedicated a window to him in the church. And, in 1985, on the centenary of the general’s birth, a statue was dedicated to him.

Thus, the unique testaments to Gen. George S. Patton (1885-1945).
