Divorced. By Kim Novak, 33, Hollywood package often undone by her films (Kiss Me, Stupid, The Notorious Landlady): Richard Johnson, 38, dour British actor and her co-star in The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders; on uncontested grounds of mental cruelty (he refused to live in the U.S.), after 15 months of marriage, no children; in Salinas, Calif.

Died. Dan Moody, 72, Governor of Texas from 1927 to 1931 who at 33, as a reform-minded state attorney general, defeated Incumbent Miriam ("Ma") Ferguson, a housewife like Lurleen Wallace merely fronting for her husband, impeached Governor James Ferguson, after which Moody served two terms cleaning up the mess in the Statehouse and starting construction of Texas' top-rated highway system, then retired to a highly successful law practice; of heart disease; in Austin.

Died.

The wife of a wealthy lawyer, "Minnie," as concertgoers called her, knew little or nothing about music--except that she liked it and wanted everybody else to.
