Born. To Robert Goulet, 32, crooner and TV star, currently doing the spy bit on ABC's Blue Light, and Carol Lawrence, 33, Broadway's darkly beautiful Maria in the Broadway version of West Side Story: their second child, second son; in Los Angeles.
Married. Susan Fowler, 22, Sarah Lawrence junior and daughter of Secretary of the Treasury Henry H. Fowler; and James Gallagher, 22, Columbia University English major; in Alexandria, Va., at an Episcopal ceremony attended by President and Mrs. Johnson and four Cabinet members.
Married. Lord Rothermere, 67, British press lord presiding over an $84 million publishing empire (London Daily Mail, Evening News, Daily Sketch); and Mary Murchison Ohrstrom, 35, Texas heiress and niece of Clint Murchison; he for the third time (his second wife later married author Ian Fleming, who had been named corespondent in Rothermere's divorce suit), she for the second; in London.
Died. Helen Menken, 64, bravura Broadway actress of the 1920s and '30s, who is best remembered for her 1933 portrayal of Elizabeth Tudor in Maxwell Anderson's long-running Mary of Scotland, later suffered facial paralysis when nerves were accidentally severed during a 1949 mastoid operation, but went on to become nine-year president of the American Theater Wing, sponsor of the annual "Tony" awards; of a heart attack; in Manhattan.
Died. C. S. (Cecil Scott) Forester, 66, British author transplanted to California, most famed for his ten-book series on the 19th century heroics of the indefatigable Captain Horatio Hornblower; of a heart attack; in Fullerton, Calif. Writing, said Forester, "is a toilsome bore"; yet, with an enforced daily ritual of 1,000 words, he managed in 40 years to publish 45 books on every subject from marionettes to the slave trade, all lucidly worded, all carefully researched. Two novels, Payment Deferred and The African Queen, became film classics, and his cynical 1936 study of the military mind, The General, was reportedly Hitler's favorite novel—dejr Führer took it seriously.
Died. Erwin Piscator, 72, German director-producer and theatrical gadfly who in the 1920s made Berlin's theater ring with the cries of tortured humanity in such productions as the bitingly antiwar Good Soldier: Schweik (1928), fled the Nazis in 1933, but returned after the war to continue his contro versial themes, most notably in 1963, when he staged the world premiere in Berlin of The Deputy, Rolf Hochhuth's stinging indictment of Pope Pius XII's wartime attitude toward Jews; of a ruptured gall bladder; in Starnberg, Bavaria.
