THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER Obituaries Laurie Colwin, 46; writer whose subjects were 'nervous people' By Susan Caba INQUIRER STAFF WRITER Novelist Laurie Colwin, who wrote with her father's Mont Blanc fountain pen and her mother's college typewriter, died in her sleep Friday night at home in New York City. Ms. Colwin, 46, had complained of feeling ill and achy Friday evening. Her mother said yesterday that the cause of death had not been determined. Ms.
Colwin's witty, detailed and intimate novels revealed her, in the words of one critic, as a "domestic sensualist." Her touchstone themes, intertwined through her life and writing, included a need for selfdetermination, the importance of family and the joy of food well cooked and shared. She once said she didn't keep a diary because she thought a writer's life should be lived quietly and close to home, so a diary would be rather dull. Ms. Colwin's best-known books include Happy All the Time, Family Happiness and Home Cooking. Her most recent book, Goodbye Without Leaving, was published in 1990.
Despite the titles, her books were not about happy people, she once said. Often, her subjects were "nervous people who are anxious about their lives." Ms. Colwin was the daughter of Estelle Colwin Snellenberg of Society Hill and the late Peter Barnett Col- win. She was married to New York publisher Juris Jurjevics, with whom she had a daughter, Rosa, 8. Ms.
Colwin graduated from Cheltenham High School. She attended the Sorbonne in Paris, Bard College and the New School of Social Research and graduated, her mother said, from Columbia University but refused to take part in graduation ceremonies. She sold her first story to the New Yorker in 1969. Last week, she had finalized the sale of her 11th book, untitled so far. Her mother still has The Red-Headed Woman, a book Ms.
Colwin wrote when she was 7 on cardboard from her father's shirts. "Laurie liked to cook, she liked to collect antiques, and she liked family gatherings," her mother said. "She was inventive in her cooking and inventive in her living." She was also "willful," said her mother an assessment Ms. Colwin agreed with. Her teenage years, she wrote in a 1991 essay, were "ghastly." "The perfect girl was obedient and well-groomed and wore sweet, girlish garments, while I was fresh and noncompliant and had ink all over my fingers and hair flopping over my eyes," she wrote.
It's a trait she wanted to nurture in her own child. "My girl, born with strong opinions," she wrote, "rejected dresses altogether in favor of muted turquoise combat fatiques and a chocolate tur- Roger Miller, famous for 'King of the Road' ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES Roger Miller, 56, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter whose folksy 1960s song "King of the Road" was a hit with both country and pop music fans, died yesterday of cancer. Miller died at Century City Hospital after a yearlong battle with the disease, said hospital spokeswoman Lisa Gaines. The entertainer had announced in January that he was undergoing radiation treatment for a tumor below his vocal cords. Miller, who also wrote the music for the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Big River, rose to fame in the 1960s with a string of songs that became hits on both the pop and country music charts.
He won 11 Grammys in the years 1964 and 1965. Death Notices RUSSIAN Oct. 13, 1992, RITA G. (nee Guvon) of Quarrivite, and formerty of beloved wife of the late Martin J. Russian and the Robert M.

Sadly missed by daughter Elsie Monday, October 26, 1992 World in Brief Canadians to vote today on constitution measure ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO Canadian voters will go to the polls today to cast their ballot on a complex package of constitutional reforms aimed at holding the sometimes fractious country together. The Elections Department said 18.5 million people were eligible to vote in the nonbinding referendum that asks this singular question: "Do you agree that the constitution of Canada should be renewed on the basis of the agreement reached on Aug.
28, 1992?" That agreement, signed by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and the premiers of all 10 provinces, took several months to negotiate. Though many polls indicate the referendum will fail in Quebec, British Columbia and probably some of the Western provinces, Mulroney maintained his private polls showed differently. W. African force tries to hold back Liberia rebels ASSOCIATED PRESS MONROVIA, Liberia Jet bombers, rockets and shellfire screamed over the Liberian capital yesterday as a seven-nation West African force tried to keep rebels from advancing on the city. Rebels in the north, meanwhile, freed four U.N.
relief workers they had seized three days earlier, the chief U.N. representative in Liberia said. The rebels had accused the U.N. workers of providing strategic information to help the West African task force bomb rebel leader Charles Tay. lor's headquarters in central town of Gbarnga.
Taylor started Liberia's civil war in December 1989, when he invaded from Ivory Coast. Massacre in S. Africa spurs calls for talks REUTERS JOHANNESBURG Gunmen with automatic rifles massacred 20 people in a raid on a black homestead in South Africa as a weekend of violence brought fresh calls for talks between the country's two main black leaders Nelson Mandela of the African National Congress and Mangosuthu Buthelezi of the Inkatha Freedom Party. Police said four women and two children were among those killed when 15 men with AK47 assault rifles attacked Zulus late Saturday as they held traditional celebrations at Folweni in Natal province. They said an additional 27 people were wounded in the attack.
It was not immediately known who was responsible for the slayings. Japanese boat rescues U.S.-bound passengers ASSOCIATED PRESS TOKYO A Japanese patrol boat rescued 142 people, most of them Chinese, from Taiwanese fishing vessel that had run out of food and water after drifting nearly two weeks in the Pacific Ocean, officials said yesterday. They said the Chinese told them they had been trying to reach the United States. Lithuanians head to polls for parliamentary vote ASSOCIATED PRESS VILNIUS, Lithuania Lithuanians trudged through heavy snow to the polls yesterday in the country's first parliamentary election since it won independence from the Soviet Union. President Vytautas Landsbergis tops the list of candidates from the governing Sajudis Popular Front, but with 473 candidates from 17 parties vying for 141 seats, there was no guarantee that the movement that led Lithuania to independence would win a majority.
On Friday, Bush signed legislation authorizing the National Park Service to determine whether 53 miles of the Delaware River and its tributaries should be protected from development. The National Park Service will study the river from Hazen to Washington Crossing in New Jersey for inclusion in the nation's wild and scenic river system. On the Pennsylvania side, it would also be looking at Cook's Creek, Tinicum Creek and Tohickon Creek in Bucks County. Overall crime down violent offenses rise ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON The number of crimes reported to police declined 2 percent in the first half of 1992 compared with the same period the previous year, the FBI said yesterday. Violent crime reported to law enforcement agencies increased 3 percent compared with the same period last year, while property crime dropped 3 percent, the FBI said.
Since the volume of property crimes is far greater than the number of violent crimes, the overall crime rate was down. The FBI report showed a 3 percent drop in the number of reported murders, a 1 percent dip in robberies, a 4 percent rise in forcible rapes and a 6 percent jump in aggravated assaults.

Colwin's willfulness showed in her cooking, as well as her writing. "The holidays were always something special," her mother said. "She never liked the way I did things, so she'd do it differently. Which sometimes, for a mother, is difficult." The November issue of Gourmet magazine, published Saturday, includes Ms. Colwin's recollections and recipes for Thanksgiving.

Nation in Brief China releases dissident, allows return to America ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON A Chinese dissident who went home earlier this year only to be arrested and deported returned over the weekend to Boston, where he lived in exile after the Tiananmen Square massacre. Shen Tong, 24, fled China after the 1989 crackdown in Tiananmen Square and quietly re-entered the country about two months ago. He was arrested Sept. 1.
Shen said he was given two hours' notice that he was leaving China and was given a chance to bid goodbye to his mother. He said he agreed to be deported as long as other dissidents connected with his case also were released. There was no immediate word whether the two others arrested with Shen were released. A Beijing University student, Shen was a leader in the 1989 protests. Bush signs bills benefiting veterans, IMF and poor ASSOCIATED PRESS BILLINGS, Mont.
