Allen Out at SAG
The Hollywood Reporter reports that SAG executive director Doug Allen is out at the union, suggesting that the possibility of a strike now is virtually over. THR says "moderate forces" used little known procedural rules to force Mr. Allen out. Who's in? Former SAG general counsel David White, a Stanford Law grad, with John McGuire replacing Mr. Allen as head negotiator; he'll now deal with the studios.
