made into at least two movies. "Lord of the Flies" was followed by six other novels, including "The Inheritors" (1955) and "Free Fall" (1959).

After graduation, he joined the Royal Navy, serving on cruisers and destroyers and developing an enduring love of the sea. In a rare interview, Golding once talked about death: "I'd rather there wasn't an afterlife, really. I'd much rather not be me for thousands of years. Me? Hah!"

"And he said, and I quote, 'And I don't want any SOB talking longer than two Shepard said. In accordance with those wishes, the service was upbeat, with colleagues and friends sharing funny anecdotes and a Houston Dixieland band whipping through some of Slayton's favorite tunes. Shepard even played the straight man in a vaudeville-style standup routine with Bill Dana, a friend of Slayton's.

Alexi Leonov, one of three Soviet cosmonauts on the Apollo-Soyuz orbital rendezvous between U.S. and Soviet spacecraft, brought condolences from his country's space program, saying Slayton is widely recognized there. "We will never forget the contributions of Deke Slayton," Leonov, said. Glenn, now a U.S. senator, joked that, after 16 years of waiting, the Apollo-Soyuz mission training was easy for Slayton, but "it was learn-: ing to speak Russian that was the hard part."

Holiday Piinimacy "Your Assurance of Quality at Competitive Prices" Located in I mEm CASHWISE FOODSj ft" '( LONDON (AP) Nobel Prize-winning author William Golding, whose classic novel "Lord of the Flies" won acclaim for its chilling story of the descent of marooned schoolboys into barbarism, died Saturday. He was 81. Matthew Evans, chairman of Golding's publisher, Faber and Faber, said the likely cause of death was a heart attack. "It happened very suddenly," said Golding's son-in-law, Terrell Carver.

The writer died at his home in Perranarworthal, near Falmouth in southern England. Golding won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1983 and was knighted five years ago. For a man who once said his biggest affliction was "the inability to write poetry," Golding made a major contribution to English literature. His novels have been reprinted many times and are required reading at many colleges and schools. Golding suffered a string of rejections before "Lord of the Flies," his first work, was published in 1954.

The tale is about a group of boys who survive the crash-landing of an airplane and try to survive on an uninhabited island, where they split into different tribes and begin fighting one another.
