More Mutiny? You’ve heard about school breakup. You’ve heard about city breakup. Now--how about breaking up the county. That’s the idea being proposed today by Lancaster Assemblyman George Runner. He thinks Los Angeles County could be broken into as many as seven fiefdoms. With a population of 10 million represented by five supervisors, he says L.A.’s ratio of “2-million-to-1 is not good. . . .”

Deja Vu . . . The last new county created in California was Imperial, in 1907. But the idea has surfaced in L.A. more recently. “Canyon County,” encompassing what is now Santa Clarita, failed in 1976 and 1978. Each time, the move was approved by voters within the secession territory but resoundingly defeated elsewhere.

Back in Battle: As the fight over campaign finances escalates, who should be right in the middle of things but veteran Valley Rep. Henry Waxman, above (A3). The new role is a bit of a switch.

Below Par: Bad score for a Glendale golf course. . . . Men’s Health magazine has named Scholl Canyon as one of the 10 most dangerous courses in the world. “Built on a landfill, it ran into difficulties when golfers snagged clubs on buried tires and methane gas rose up from the divots,” the April issue reports. “Stinky canyon” was closed for six years in 1988 when leaking gas reached potentially explosive levels. . . . Obstacles at other losers include crocodiles and attacking monkeys in South Africa, mortar fire in Zimbabwe and cobras in Singapore.
