MARRIED. Peter Falk, 50, amiable, rumpled star of TV's Columbo series and numerous films; and Shera Danese, 27, an actress; he for the second time, she for the first; in Beverly Hills, Calif.

DIED. Sir Terence Rattigan, 66, prolific British playwright (The Winslow Boy, Separate Tables); of cancer; in Hamilton, Bermuda. After Rattigan left Oxford to write plays, his father supported him during a trial period. Just as it ended, his comedy French Without Tears became a hit and ran for 1,039 performances in London. Rattigan's forte was, as he once said, "the play that unashamedly says nothing--except possibly that human beings are strange creatures, and worth putting on the stage, where they can be laughed at or cried over, as our pleasure takes us."

DIED. John L. McClellan, 81, Democratic Senator from Arkansas, whose investigations of labor unions and organized crime led to the imprisonment of Teamster Bosses Jimmy Hoffa and Dave Beck, and to Mobster Joseph Valachi's televised exposes of the Mafia; of a heart ailment; in Little Rock. Elected to the Senate in 1942, he soon became known as a cotton-country conservative--defending military expenditures, opposing the "socialistic" measures of F.D.R., advocating strict penalties for criminals. One of the first Senators to speak out against Joseph McCarthy, in 1955 he replaced the Wisconsin Senator as chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. In 1972 McClellan became chairman of the Appropriations Committee. He also retained his seat on the Judiciary Committee and this year helped draft, with Senator Edward Kennedy, a comprehensive revision of the U.S. criminal code.

DIED. Bob Meusel, 81, strong-armed outfielder and member of the Yankees' famed "Murderers' Row"; in Downey, Calif. Former Manager Casey Stengel said he "never saw a better thrower" than Meusel, who also hit the ball pretty well (lifetime average: .309 over eleven seasons). In 1927, with Leftfielder Meusel hitting .337, Centerfielder Earle Combs .356 and Rightfielder Babe Ruth .356 plus 60 home runs, the Yankees had what many students of the game consider the best outfield in baseball history.

DIED. Donald Beates Watt, 84, founder of the Experiment in International Living, one of the first organizations to promote student exchange programs; after a long illness; in Lancaster, Pa. Founded in 1932, the organization has trained many Peace Corps volunteers, now numbers some 250,000 alumni from 100 nations.
