Died. William Howland Taylor, 64, managing editor from 1953 to 1963 of Yachting, one of the biggest (circ.: 110,000) and best of the boating magazines, a onetime New York Herald Tribune staffer, who caused a journalistic sensation in 1935 when he became the first sportswriter to win a Pulitzer Prize, for his expert coverage of the America's Cup races between the U.S. and Britain; of a heart attack; in Port Washington, N.Y.

Died. Lieut. General Robert H. Nimmo, 72, Australian commander since 1950 of the U.N. peace-keeping mission in Kashmir, steadfastly but vainly trying to police the disputed province's 471-mile ceasefire line with a corporal's guard of 43 unarmed observers who wearily called themselves "the U.N.'s forgotten men," and were totally ignored in last September's fierce fighting; of a heart attack; in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

Starting in the mid-1940s, Lurc,at set the idle Aubusson looms spinning again as much by his businesslike simplicity as by his art, reducing the 14,500 standard hues of tapestry wool to 13 principal colors and introducing an easily copied cartoon, divided into numbered sections, that ensured faithful reproduction. "Lurc,at," wrote a critic, "has made the wool sing again."

Auriol helped clear the way for De Gaulle's 1958 return to power, but was eventually disillusioned, openly accusing le grand Charles of "usurpation" in 1962 and endorsing Left-Wing Opposition Candidate Franc,ois Mitterrand in last month's election.
