DIED. Florence Gould, 87, longtime patron of the arts who gave moral support and millions to leading French literary figures, and in the post-World War II years surrounded herself with something of a Parisian Bloomsbury group that included André Gide, Jean Cocteau and Salvador Dali; in Cannes. Born in San Francisco of French parents, she married Frank Jay Gould, son of the railroad robber baron, in 1923; together they invested shrewdly in Riviera real estate and built the casino, and the cachet, that made their Juan-les-Pins resort famous...
Just how complete the break now is between the papacy and art may be judged from the roomful of uncomfortably "religious" paintings by André Derain, Graham Sutherland and Ben Shahn, enlivened only by a Matisse design for a large stained-glass window that gives the exhibition its feeble coda.

First active as a jazz pianist and arranger-winning four Academy Awards for his film scores-he got his start conducting in a post in Houston but attracted wide notice only after he was appointed to lead the London Symphony. Even in Pittsburgh, he is still strongly identified with English music. Another prominent member of this generation, Thomas Schippers, died at 47 in 1977. The music director of the Cincinnati Symphony was an opera conductor...
