Milestones: Oct. 22, 1965
Married. Mona Nasser, 18, younger daughter of United Arab Republic President Gamal Abdel Nasser, a junior at Cairo's American University; and Ashraf Marwan, 23, Egyptian army lieutenant; in Cairo.
Married. Leslie Uggams, 22, Mitch Miller's little singalong girl, now a sultry nightclub performer; and Graham Pratt, 27, Australian exporter of woolens; in Manhattan.
Married. Elizabeth Ruth Peale, 23, daughter of positive-thinking Minister Norman Vincent Peale, Reader's Digest researcher; and John M. Allen, 38, associate editor of Reader's Digest; he for the second time; in Pawling, N.Y.
Married. Phyllis Diller, 48, nightclub and TV clown; and Warde Donovan, 49, sometime actor; both for the second time, one month after Phyllis divorced Sherwood ("Fang") Diller, unseen straight man of her comedy routines; in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
Marriage Revealed. Sandy Dennis, 28, Broadway's Tony Award-winning golden innocent in Any Wednesday, currently filming Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? alongside Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor; and Gerry Mulligan, 38, cool jazz saxophonist; he for the second time; in Connecticut; in June.
Died. Randall Jarrell, 51, U.S. poet and critic, professor of English since 1947 at North Carolina University in Greensboro; of injuries suffered when he apparently "lunged into the path" of a passing automobile; near Chapel Hill, N.C. An amusing satirist, he took deadly aim at academic pretension in his novel Pictures from an Institution and at the "goldplated age" of "spoon-fed culture" in A Sad Heart at the Supermarket. But his poetry (The Woman at the Washington Zoo) revealed an altogether different world, "commonplace and solitary," filled with terrified, lost souls finding refuge from loneliness only in Proustian reminiscence, fantasy and oblivion:
She sleeps in sunlight, surrounded by many dreams
Or dreams of dreams, all goodhow can a dream be bad
If it keeps one asleep?
Died. Paul Herman Müller, 66, Swiss chemist and 1948 Nobel Prizewinner for medicine, who in 1939 concocted something he called dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, later known as DDT, which by killing all manner of disease-carrying pests has proved to be one of the greatest health-saving agents yet developed by man; of a stroke; in Basel, Switzerland.
Died. Dan Florio, 68, one of prizefighting's best-known trainers, himself a fair-to-middling onetime bantamweight, who in 47 years on the other side of the ropes turned out a dozen world champions, among them Jersey Joe Walcott and Floyd Patterson, whom the ever hopeful Florio hoped to see gain his crown for the third time in next month's match against Cassius Clay; of complications following gall-bladder surgery; in Jamaica, Queens.
