Married. Peter Cook, 37, loony, straight-faced British comedian who, with Dudley Moore, wrote and starred in the 1967 film Bedazzled and two theatrical revues, Beyond the Fringe (1960-64) and the current Good Evening; and Judy Huxtable, 29, British movie actress (Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, The Touchables); both for the second time; in Manhattan.
Died. Theodore Carl Link, 69, tenacious crime reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and former combat Marine in the South Pacific; of an apparent heart attack; in University City, Mo.
Link was a classic investigator who often shook hoodlums by their lapels to get them to tell the truth. Among his more celebrated stories: the uncovering of a bloodthirsty gang in the 1920s known as the Green Ones, and a series that won a Pulitzer Prize for the Post-Dispatch in 1952. Its detailing of corruption led to an overhaul of the Internal Revenue Bureau in Missouri and the resignation of William Boyle, then the Democratic national chairman.
Died. Sir Leslie Knox Munro, 72, astute diplomat and president of the United Nations General Assembly from 1957 to 1958; near Auckland, in his native New Zealand. After successive careers as teacher, lawyer, and newspaper editor, Munro was sent abroad in 1952 as ambassador to the U.S. and permanent representative to the United Nations. At various times during the next eleven years, he was president of the Security Council and the General Assembly, and also served as U.N. special representative on Hungary. A tall, imposing figure and excellent public speaker, Munro returned to New Zealand in 1963 and sat for nine years in Parliament as a member of the National Party.
Died. Dan Golenpaul, 73, impresario who dreamed up the long-lived Information Please radio quiz show in 1938; after a long illness; in Manhattan.
Golenpaul helped sift the questions from listeners who for more than a decade tried to stump such quick wits as Critic Clifton Fadiman, Pianist Oscar Levant and Sportswriter John Kieran.
Death Revealed. Harry Gold, 60, Swiss-born research chemist who helped send Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to the electric chair as spies in 1953; of heart disease; in Philadelphia 18 months ago.
In 1950, Gold was arrested by the FBI and confessed to having ferried classified information from British Scientist-Spy Klaus Fuchs, as well as from other informants, to an official in the Soviet consulate in New York. Sentenced to 30 years in prison and paroled in 1966, Gold was a key Government witness in the Rosenberg trial.
