Died. Leland Hayward, 68, flamboyant Broadway producer; of a stroke; in Yorktown Heights, N.Y. Hayward's career began in the 1920s, when he produced some 20 feature films. "They stunk," he said, and people agreed. In the mid-'20s, a nightclub owner wished aloud that he had an attraction "like the Astaires," adding that he would pay $4,000 for them. Hayward promptly turned agent and arranged the deal. "I decided this was my line of work," he said after collecting his 10% commission.

The immediate effect of Novy Mir's disappearance as an outlet for independent writers will probably be an increase in the amount of good writing circulating from hand to hand by samizdat, the underground press...
...ironist were to select a trio diametrically opposed to the Fondas of today he could do no better than to choose the Fondas of 1960. Henry had married a fourth time, to an Italian countess, Afdera. He became unrecognizably Bonifaced. Leland Hayward attended one dinner party for Afdera's friend. "For dessert they had ice cream and chocolate sauce. There was dancing, and all of a sudden those nutty Italians began throwing ice cream and sauce on the walls. I thought Hank would commit murder. But he just stood there and smiled and enjoyed...
