Died. Louis Marron, 67, dean of U.S. big game fishermen, a burly Florida oilman, who in 1953 off the coast of Chile boated a 1,182-lb. broadbill swordfish, at the time the biggest game fish of any kind to be landed on rod and reel and still tops for a species widely regarded as the strongest and most difficult; of a heart attack; in Manhattan...
Split Personality. Notre Dame Student President Jim Fish, who calls himself a "moderate," believes that the N.S.A. itself is suffering from a split personality-implying that it is simply trying to compensate for its tepid past with noisy radicalism.

Actor Stephen Levi has turned out a first play, Daphne in Cottage D about the widow (Sandy Dennis) of a famous movie star...

It simply records his interviews with witnesses at Exeter, N.H., after a glowing red object appeared over Route 150 at 2:24 a.m. on Sept. 3, 1965. Subsequently, Fuller himself saw such a UFO outside the town, and his report is that of a believer, or rather a convert. He writes in documentary style, following the grammar and non sequiturs of his tape recorder, and his work has the police-blotter awkwardness of one who wishes to convince...
