DIED. RUTH WARRICK, 88, who made her film-acting debut in Citizen Kane but went on to greater fame with a 35-year run in ABC's soap All My Children; in New York City. After playing Orson Welles' icy first wife in Kane, she had a middling film career before finding her m??tier as All My Children's overbearing socialite Phoebe Tyler Wallingford, who once barred a chauffeur from her library because he was wearing jeans. "You say Phoebe," Warrick said, "and 50 million people know what you mean."

DIED. ELIZABETH JANEWAY, 91, influential social critic and early feminist; in Rye, N.Y. Starting out as a novelist, she befriended Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan and developed an interest in the burgeoning women's movement. In 1971 she wrote Man's World, Woman's Place, the first of six nonfiction books on gender and power that brought her national acclaim.
