Died. Diana Sands, 39, Broadway star who insisted--and proved--that good acting has nothing to do with race; of cancer; in Manhattan.

She won an Emmy the same year for the best single performance by an actress in a television series (East Side, West Side).

Leakey and Oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau.
