Married. Peter Lawford, 48, side-burned screen sophisticate and former husband of J.F.K.'s little sister Pat; and Mary Rowan, 22, daughter of Laugh-In Straight Man Dan Rowan; he for the second time, she for the first; in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. "I'd rather see her marry a man closer to her own age than mine," admitted Daddy. "But they are in love."

Died. Richard L. Evans, 65, for 41 years the nonsinging voice of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Music and the Spoken Word, longest-running program on network radio; of encephalitis; in Salt Lake City. The show was not considered a proselytizing effort, and Evans' low-key sermonettes stuck to ethics, rather than religious doctrine. As a result, many of the show's faithful listeners did not realize that Evans was a Mormon; they considered themselves followers of "Richard Evans' church."

Died. Ann Pennington, 77, dimple-kneed darling of George White's Scandals and popularizer of the Black Bottom dance craze in the '20s; of a brain tumor; in Manhattan. "Tiny" Pennington--she stood 4 ft. 11 1/2 in. in heels and weighed just over 100 lbs.--started out in Florenz Ziegfeld's Follies, where White was her dancing partner in 1915. When White went on his own four years later, he took Tiny with him. She soon shimmied her way to $1,000-a-week stardom in films and on the stage. Her career faded after the flapper era, and she spent her last years alone in a hotel off the Great White Way.

Died. Spessard L. Holland, 79, former Democratic Senator from Florida; in Bartow, Fla. After service as a state legislator and Governor, Holland went to the Senate in 1946. He was a member in good standing of Congress's Southern bloc until his retirement in 1970, but his constitutional amendment outlawing the poll tax in federal elections, ratified in 1964, was a victory for the civil rights movement.

Died. A. Willis Robertson, 84, U.S. Senator from Virginia from 1947 to 1967 and chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee; in Lexington, Va. Robertson was born the same year and in the same town (Martinsburg, W. Va.) as the late Harry Byrd Sr., and both conservative Democrats entered the Virginia state senate at the same time in 1916. Byrd went on to construct a powerful statewide political organization that made him one of the Senate's most influential Southerners. Robertson built a reputation as an economic conservative, advocating drastic budget cuts to forestall Government-fueled inflation. His defeat by William Spong in the 1966 Democratic primary was largely a result of the Byrd machine's deterioration.
