Died. William Ludlow Chenery, 90, editor, then publisher of the late Collier's weekly from 1925 to 1950; in Monterey, Calif. A learned, liberal Virginia-born newspaperman, Chenery led the ailing Collier's to a notable comeback by taking vigorous editorial positions (the magazine was an early champion of Repeal) and recruiting big-name writers-H.G. Wells, Sinclair Lewis, Ring Lardner, Zane Grey-at top dollar; in 1939 he signed F.D.R. to a $75,000-a-year contract for regular contributions...
...Wednesday, Ford again went through the motions of performing his vice-presidential duties, including a session with Navy Secretary J. William Middendorf and Admiral James Holloway. They presented him with a picture of the U.S.S. Monterey, on which he served during World War II. Interspersed with the routine were an urgent meeting and phone calls with Haig. Ford's staff members had been instructed to say nothing about the crisis, but some began to talk more openly about Nixon's resignation.

Although he was under enemy fire in several major battles, his closest brush with death came during a typhoon that nearly washed him overboard; he was saved by landing on a catwalk beneath him. The Monterey was a "lucky" ship, said Ford...
Patty left exclusive Santa Catalina, a Monterey boarding school, in 1970 because she found its atmosphere too cloistered. Despite her family's social position, she refused to come out as a debutante. Two years ago, even though her parents disapproved, she moved with Weed into the apartment in Berkeley, near the university where she was a student majoring in art history...
...Forty-Niner. In a preface to his 607-page paperback epic, Cooley speaks pointedly of his Mexican great-grandmother and his Mexican-Welsh grandmother. Then he attempts a vast, three-generation dynastic "saga" of the Lewis family. It starts with a Yankee ancestor's jumping ship at Monterey to start a dynasty in the 1830s and ends in the 1960s with the business-and land-rich heirs grimacing over the pot parties of their young and wondering what catastrophes Cesar Chavez and his troublemakers are going to visit on the California dream...
