CONVICTED. FRANK QUATTRONE, 48, star investment banker who shepherded some of the hottest companies of the dotcom stock boom to the public market and made $120 million in 2000 at Credit Suisse First Boston; of obstructing justice and witness tampering; in New York City. His first trial last fall ended in a hung jury.

DIED. HOMER AVILA, 48, modern dancer whose austere, angular choreography kept him dancing even after he lost his right leg and hip to cancer; of lung cancer; in New York City. Renowned for his work with Avila/Weeks Dance, a company he co-directed, he was performing a solo piece less than a year after the April 2001 amputation, moving on his elbow and one leg.

DIED. CLEMENT (COXSONE) DODD, 72, pioneering producer who helped define ska and reggae and popularize Jamaican music throughout the world; in Kingston, Jamaica. In the 1950s he operated some of the most popular "sound systems"--makeshift turntable and speaker sets that played dance records for partygoers — which helped lay the foundation for hip-hop and DJ culture. He launched several record labels, signing the legendary Bob Marley and the Wailers in 1963.

DIED. MARVIN RUNYON, 79, onetime auto-assembly worker who as Postmaster General from 1992 to 1998 pulled the U.S. Postal Service into the black; in Nashville, Tenn. Raising the stamp price only once (from 29 to 32), he cut 23,000 management jobs, hired more letter carriers and raked in $1 billion in profit. Runyon began his career in 1943 at a Ford plant in Dallas, where he climbed to the post of vice president before leaving in 1980 to become Japanese automaker Nissan's first employee in the U.S. As CEO of its American subsidiary, he built Nissan's first auto plant in the country, at a greenfield site in Smyrna, Tenn. In 1988 Runyon went on to chair the giant Tennessee Valley Authority, where he earned the moniker "Carvin' Marvin" for slashing the troubled utility's payroll by a third.

DIED. ANDREW ROBERT BUXTON CAVENDISH, 84, the elegant and modest 11th Duke of Devonshire, who held on to his ancestors' grand lifestyle by turning the 16th century Chatsworth estate owned by his family for 14 generations into one of Britain's most popular tourist attractions; in Derbyshire, England. Thought to be wealthier than the Queen, Sir Andrew paid off $20 million in inheritance taxes by selling tens of thousands of acres of land and art from his large collection to set up a trust that financed his mansion's maintenance.
