Died. Randall Jarrell, 51, U.S. poet and critic, professor of English since 1947 at North Carolina University in Greensboro; of injuries suffered when he apparently "lunged into the path" of a passing automobile; near Chapel Hill, N.C. An amusing satirist, he took deadly aim at academic pretension in his novel Pictures from an Institution and at the "goldplated age" of "spoon-fed culture" in A Sad Heart at the Supermarket. But his poetry (The Woman at the Washington Zoo) revealed an altogether different world, "commonplace and solitary," filled with terrified, lost souls finding refuge from loneliness only in Proustian reminiscence, fantasy and oblivion:

She sleeps in sunlight, surrounded by many dreams

Or dreams of dreams, all good--how can a dream be bad

If it keeps one asleep?

Paul Herman Mueller, 66, Swiss chemist and 1948 Nobel Prizewinner for medicine, who in 1939 concocted something he called dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, later known as DDT, which by killing all manner of disease-carrying pests has proved to be one of the greatest health-saving agents yet developed by man; of a stroke; in Basel, Switzerland.
