DIED. CARLO MARIA GIULINI, 91, influential, adamantly unflashy Italian maestro who never matched the glamour of contemporaries like Georg Solti but who was widely revered by fellow musicians; in Brescia, Italy. Sophisticated, subtle and averse to self-promotion, he was best known for nuanced interpretations of Verdi and Mozart and for ongoing stints as conductor for orchestras in Vienna, Chicago and Los Angeles.
DIED. J.J. (JAKE) PICKLE, 91, legendary 15-term U.S. Representative from Texas' 10th District, beloved for his wry wit (he passed out plastic pickles on the campaign trail), ready handshake and ability to remember the name of every constituent he met; in Austin, Texas. A former aide to Lyndon B. Johnson who was elected to his boss's old congressional seat in 1963, Pickle helped legislate major reforms to Social Security, pension and tax law.
