DIED. Joyce Ballantyne Brand, 88, commercial artist who created the now iconic Coppertone suntan-lotion ad featuring a young girl whose bathing suit is being pulled down by a dog, exposing tan lines, accompanied by the slogan, "Don't be a paleface"; in Ocala, Fla. The illustrator, who did campaigns for Pampers and Coca-Cola and also painted pinup girls, employed her daughter Cheri, then 3, as the model for the famous ad.

The driver dropped off about 150 free Nike caps--JUST DO IT, BRASIL, they read--which soon became one of the hottest items at the event.
