AP Laserphoto. AT VERMONT CONFERENCE Daniloff tells Soviet editors he fs not bitter Lloyd A. Whitehead dies at 93; Modoc resident was poet, author MODOC, Ind. Lloyd A. Whitehead, 93, a poet, author and lyricist, died Wednesday in his home.

A lifelong resident of Modoc, Mr. Whitehead was a retired building contractor. He was a past Indiana Poet Laureate. He was the author of five books, including "Autumn Leaves," "Sycamore Horizons" and "Modoc: The First 100 Years." He also was a lyricist and a columnist for The Graphic in Richmond. Mr.

Whitehead was a member of Carlos Congregational Christian Church. Earl Eugene Dunn Charlene Arbaugh Baker "will think twice before they do that trick again." He said he draws a clear distinction between the KGB and the rest of Soviet society. He said he also has high hopes for the new period of "glasnost," or openness in the Soviet Union. After chatting amicably in Russian with several of the editors, Daniloff proposed a dinnertime toast to the hope that "despite all our difficulties, all our differences, we can still talk to one another seriously, without offense, and even from the heart." The week's talks between Soviet and New England editors have been characterized as more frank than those at four similar conferences in the past. Participants say the change parallels more open discussion of problems facing Soviet society in the pages of that nation's newspapers.

"Time is going by, things are changing," Daniloff said. A reporter for 30 years, nine of them in the Soviet Union, Daniloff is on leave from U.S. News to write a book about Russia and his family. GOSHEN, Vt. (AP) Nicholas Daniloff, the U.S.

News and World Report correspondent who was arrested and held prisoner in Moscow, told a group of Soviet editors that he was not bitter about the experience. Daniloff, arrested in Moscow on espionage charges and held 13 days in a Soviet prison last September, said before meeting with the Soviets Wednesday that he is still angry at the KGB but "one cannot live in bitterness." "For me, it is poetic justice to be able to come here, to say this terrible incident is in the past, and to get back to the thing that has always interested me, which is Soviet-American dialogue," Daniloff said. Daniloff and eight visiting Soviet editors in Vermont for a weeklong conference were the guests of the New England Society of Newspaper Editors. The society canceled a similar conference last year to protest Daniloff's arrest. In view of that cancellation and other widespread protests against his arrest, Daniloff said the Soviets UNION CITY, Ind.

"They rushed him to George Washington University Hospital, where they tried to revive him and could not," Viator said. Fosse was long a mainstay of the Broadway musical theater, and he was one of the most widely acclaimed choreographers of recent decades. "Sweet Charity," one of Fosse's most enduring creations, first opened on Broadway in 1966, with Verdon the original Charity. It was acclaimed for its choreography, with one critic writing, "postures, stances, gestures and weary collapses of the one-time 10-cents-a-dance girls are brilliantly, tenderly and bitingly visualized." It was Fosse who gave the show its distinctive stamp, as he did in much of his choreography. In the 1950s and '60s, he won Tony awards for his Broadway musical hits "The Pajama Game," "Damn Yankees," "Redhead," "Sweet Charity" and two Tony awards each for "Pippin" in 1972 and for "Dancin' in 1978.

His film work included "Cabaret," "All That Jazz" and "Lenny." In one year, Fosse garnered awards in every major entertainment medium movies, television and the stage. He captured an Oscar in 1972 for his film of "Cabaret," the escapades of a British cabaret singer adrift in the depraved bohemianism of Berlin in the 1930s, plus a Tony for his Broadway show "Pippin," and an Emmy for his television special starring Liza Minnelli, "Liza With a In "All That Jazz," Fosse presented the autobiographical story of an equally brilliant director and choreographer, obsessed with work and women, whose smoking, drinking and frenetic lifestyle finally delivered him to open heart surgery. The choreographer, played by Roy Scheider, had a heart attack, just as Fosse did while editing "Lenny." Many reviewers dismissed the extravaganza as a self-indulgent ego trip, attacks that Fosse said confused him. The movie was a box office success, however, and took home four Oscars. "I took such a rap from some critics over that movie," Fosse told an interviewer in 1984.

8, 1934, killing 134 of 548 By EILEEN PUTMAN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON Bob Fosse, the choreographer and director whose genius spawned such Broadway musicals as "Sweet Charity" and "Dancin' as well as the film version of "Cabaret," is dead at age 60. Fosse, who won every major entertainment award, collapsed and died of a heart attack Wednes- Fosse day on a sidewalk outside his hotel just before the opening of the revival of "Sweet Charity" at the National Theater. The cast went on with the show not knowing that their director had died, toasting him later at a somber opening night party, a theater spokesman said. Cy Coleman, who composed the music for "Sweet Charity," said he had learned midway through the performance that Fosse was dead. "It's devastating," Coleman said after the show.

"Bobby was just too alive to be dead. Everybody who has been in contact with Bobby will feel that he lives within all of us. I got something in my life that will stay with me until I go." The hard-driving, fiercely competitive Fosse prided himself on being a showman, refusing to curtail his pace despite past heart problems and a five-to-six-pack-a-day cigarette habit. He showed no sign of illness in an upbeat rehearsal earlier in the day, said Alma Viator, a theater spokesman. He was stricken after he left the theater at 6:30 p.m.

for a break with Gwen Verdon, his former wife and a dancer who starred in many of his works over the years. Fosse collapsed on busy Pennsylvania Avenue at the corner of 14th Street, only yards from the theater across the street from his hotel. With Verdon kneeling at his side, firemen pounded his chest while waiting for an ambulance to arrive. Scores of ticketgoers, trying to make the 7 p.m. opening night curtain, were forced to walk around the dramatic rescue effort as they headed toward the theater.
