<p> DIED. Howard Nemerov, 71, Pulitzer-prize-winning poet and
former U.S. poet laureate; of cancer; in St. Louis. A World War
II combat pilot, Nemerov went on to write 30 books, including
novels and short stories. In 1978 his Collected Poems won both
a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award. Known as a very
private man, he explained that "if you're a word slinger for a
living, teaching and writing, when you get to be alone you like
it to be quiet."
