GRAHAM SCHOOL WINS COURT BATTLE

A judge has ruled that the Martha Graham Center can continue to use the name and teach Graham technique. Graham heir Ron Protas had contended he owned rights to all of Graham’s work and was withdrawing permission for the school for access to it. But the judge found that “there was clear evidence that in 1956 Graham had sold the school and its name,” and declared Protas not to be a “credible witness.” The New York Times 08/08/02 (one-time registration required for access)
