BACK TO WORK: She recently ended her 16 years as county supervisor amid the scandalous bankruptcy debacle, but Harriett M. Wieder isn’t shying away from public view. She speaks tonight before the Women’s Law Assn. at Western State University College of Law in Fullerton. Her message: More female lawyers should seek public office. . . . Says Wieder: “From Congress on down, there are many male attorneys.” Women lawyers, she says, “have a responsibility to society.”

PERFECT APPROACH? Few dominated a sport the way Michele Granger ruled high school softball from 1985-88 at Valencia High in Placentia. The fireballing left-hander set national strikeout records, but she’s nonchalant about her achievements. That includes her most perfect (V1)--the day she struck out all 21 Loara High batters in 1986. . . . Says Granger: “I enjoy playing the game while we’re in the middle of it, but when it’s over, it’s over.”

STONEWALLED? If you wonder whether the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace is cooperating with the upcoming Oliver Stone movie “Nixon”--which no one expects to be pro-Nixon--the answer is: Not intentionally. Stone and Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins, who will play the late president, recently took separate tours of the presidential library in Yorba Linda--Stone with a small entourage, Hopkins a few days later with his mother. . . . “They paid their $5.95 just like everybody else,” says library spokesman Kevin Cartwright. Stone did not request a private tour, or to talk with its staff.

ANY HOME IS FINE: A Santa Fe Springs woman recently was surprised that Stone’s location staff for the Nixon movie wanted to use her house as the Nixon birthplace. But she had toured the Nixon birthplace in Yorba Linda and knew her house wasn’t right for it. That’s OK, she was told, Nixon moved right after he was born so it doesn’t matter much. . . . Actually, Nixon lived at that house until he was 9.
