Readers of The New Yorker, where these mordant bits of whimsy first appeared, know Artist Charles Addams as a tireless illustrator of the now commonplace question: Is the world going insane? (see cut). He cares not who makes a civilization's laws so long as he can draw its neuroses. Last week Artist Addams' screwy drawings were collected for the first time in book form (Drawn and Quartered; Random House...
Died. Cosmo Hamilton, 70, writer-brother of Writers A. Hamilton Gibbs and Sir Philip Gibbs (he took his mother's maiden name when he began to write); of pneumonia; at Shanley Green, England. A tireless jack-of-all-writing, he averaged a novel a year most of his adult life...
Died.

A tireless experimenter with new materials and bold forms, he invented and evolved new structural uses for everything from concrete to plywood, built houses that challenged every conventional rule of the architect's art. By 1910, his new ideas had spread from suburban Oak Park, Ill., where he lived, to Holland and Germany, where a whole school of modern architecture...
