...assigned to Bethlehem. Hood encouraged Dadd to take up brush and pencil once again. Hood's hospital steward, George Henry Haydon, was an amateur artist and encouraged Dadd further. Dadd dedicated The Fairy Feller's Masterstroke to Haydon, gave it to him before he died at the age of 67 in 1886. The late poet Siegfried Sassoon, who gave it to London's Tate Gallery in 1963, inherited it indirectly from Haydon...
Uncertainties abound in the publishing business, but one fact seems tantalizingly obvious: there are millions of potential readers for publications aimed at the 18-to-25 age bracket. But how to reach them? One method is to hire professionals to turn out smooth articles in hip lingo in a psychedelic or Art Nouveau layout ("Talking to kids in their own language," it's called).

Died. Dr. Emilio Arenales, 46, diplomat, lawyer, and since last September president of the United Nations General Assembly; of cancer; in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Arenales served as legal counselor to the preparatory commission for UNESCO at age 24, was his country's permanent U.N. representative from 1955 to 1958, became Guatemala's Foreign Minister in 1966 after eight years of private law practice.

As its youthful customers grew older, the company kept their trade by bringing out "white Levi's" and later a full line of men's casual wear. Last year it introduced "Levi's for gals," a line complete with miniskirts, culottes and shirts...
...spiffy mouthwash. A churchgoer, country clubman, volunteer fireman and commuter, Nailles, in most modern literary hands, might emerge as a figure of fun. Cheever loves him, however, and sees in his dominant character istics-passionate monogamy, joy in small things, and especially in his inarticulate love for his teen-age son Tony-a kind of befuddled blessedness. It is a quality not unlike Billy Budd's, all the more vulnerable because it is unaware of evil. "Nailles thought of pain and suffering," Cheever writes, "as a principality lying somewhere beyond the legitimate borders of western Europe...
