Married. Sheila MacRae, 43, nightclub, comedienne and imp-faced, vixen-voiced fourth TV wife of Jackie Gleason in "The Honeymooners"; and Ronald Wayne, 36, producer of the Fat One's show; just 14 weeks after she divorced Singer Gordon MacRae, her husband of 25 years, and seven weeks after Wayne was divorced by his wife of ten years; in a Unity ceremony; in Manhattan.
Marriage Annulled. Arlene Dahl, 39, Hollywood's ever-flaming redhead (Kisses for My President) and syndicated glamour columnist; and Alexis Lichine, 53, wine exporter and vintage author (Wines of France), her fourth husband (the others: Lex Barker, Fernando Lamas, Christian Holmes III); on grounds of false pretenses (she said he promised, then refused, to have children); after 19 months of marriage, no sign of children; in Los Angeles.
Divorced. James A. Pike, 54, controversial Episcopal Bishop of California until he resigned his diocesan duties last year, now a fellow at Santa Barbara's Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions; by Esther Yanovsky Pike, 48; on uncontested grounds of mental cruelty (she said he stayed away from home), after 25 years of marriage, four children; in San Francisco.
Died. Desmond FitzGerald, 57, CIA Deputy Director for Plans (meaning the agency's operational branch, with its overseas agents and paramilitary organizations), an urbane onetime Wall Street corporation lawyer who became the CIA's Latin American chief in the shakeup following the Bay of Pigs debacle, took over the plans department last year; of a heart attack while playing tennis; in The Plains, Va.
Died. Emmanuel Ress, 59, who made a fortune out of lapel button slogans, a jovial, onetime Wall Street clerk who in 1940 started punching out, as he called it, "levity with brevity," produced 500 million buttons for cause carriers of all stripes ("Win with Willkie," "We Need Adlai Badly," along with such contemporary coinages as "Bomb Hanoi," "Make Love, Not War"), ever true to his own disk's boast: "I don't care who winsmy business is buttons"; of cancer; in Manhattan.
Died. Kent > Roberts Greenfield, 74, historian of the U.S. Army in World War II, a Johns Hopkins history professor who in 1946 was chosen to compile the Army's official wartime chronicle, with a staff of 275 sifted through 17,120 tons of records, frequently popping across the hall from his Pentagon office to grill the general "who was there" (Told by one scholar that his work would have no 'perspective, he snapped, "Neither can you interview Caesar"), and produced 51 of 80 planned volumes before retiring in 1958; of a heart attack; in Baltimore.
