<p> DIED. Wallace Stegner, 84, author; of injuries sustained in
a traffic accident three weeks ago; in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Stegner won a 1972 Pulitzer Prize for his novel Angle of Repose
and a 1977 National Book Award for The Spectator Bird. He first
received acclaim in the 1940s for works of both fiction and
nonfiction. He enjoyed a late success with his 1987 novel
Crossing to Safety. Long preoccupied with the American West,
Stegner was admired for his subtle, lucid style and his
persuasive skepticism of the frontier myth. From 1945 until his
retirement in 1971, he taught writing and literature at Stanford
University.
