Lorne Michaels, 36, former producer of TV's Saturday Night Live; and Susan Forristal, 30, a former fashion model; he for the second time, she for the first; in the garden of Michaels' summer home in Amagansett, N.Y. Present were Art Garfunkel (cantor), Paul Simon (best man) and ten bridesmaids, including the bride's five sisters, Model Cheryl Tiegs and Actress Lauren Hutton.
MARRIED. Mike Love, 40, lead singer for the Beach Boys; and Catherine Linda Martinez, 30, his girlfriend of eight months; he for the fourth time, she for the second; in Santa Barbara, Calif. The ceremony was performed by Disc Jockey Wolfman Jack, who was ordained by the Universal Life Church of Modesto, Calif, for the purpose.
DIED. Helen Humes, 68, torchy, mellow-voiced jazz singer who, after appearing with Count Basic from 1938 to 1942, went on to a solo career that spanned 40 years; of cancer; in Santa Monica, Calif. Humes, a rhythm-and-blues star with her 1945 hit Be Baba Leba, retired in 1967 but staged a comeback six years later, singing in the U.S. and Europe until illness forced her to quit last year.
DIED. Michael DiSalle, 73, Italian immigrants' son whose energy, humor and blunt honesty helped win him a national reputation after he became Democratic Mayor of Toledo in 1948, and who went on to become an effective governor of Ohio; of a heart attack; while vacationing in Italy. The New York City-born DiSalle headed the Office of Price Stabilization during the Korean War and was elected in 1958 to the first four-year gubernatorial term in Ohio's history. A lifelong liberal who once called capital punishment "barbaric," he was one of the first state Governors to support John F. Kennedy in 1960 and served as an honorary chairman of Senator Edward Kennedy's presidential campaign last year.
DIED. William Loeb, 75, splenetic, staunchly conservative publisher of the Manchester Union Leader and the New Hampshire Sunday News for three decades; of cancer; in Burlington, Mass, (see NATION).
DIED. Eugenio Montale, 84, stoic, reclusive Italian poet whose spare, often difficult verse, which he described as "an attack on life, with no illusions," won him the 1975 Nobel Prize for Literature; of heart disease; in Milan. Montale, who published his first volume of poetry, Bones of the Cuttlefish, in 1925, produced four more volumes over the next 50 years, supporting himself with jobs as a librarian and literary critic for Italian magazines and newspapers. A self-described "journalist," who regarded spiritual redemption as the only antidote to the tragic realities of life, he once explained that his poetry could not be "understood as a message but as an invitation to hope."
DIED. James S. Kemper, 94, tough, no-nonsense Chicago insurance executive and founder of the Kemper Group, one of the world's largest diversified insurance and financial organizations; in Chicago. Kemper, who began his career as a junior insurance clerk in his native Ohio, became manager of the Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Co. in 1912 and built it into a worldwide conglomerate with assets of more than $5 billion. An outspoken conservative and onetime treasurer of the Republican National Committee, Kemper was appointed U.S. Ambassador to Brazil in 1953 but resigned less than two years later after he was criticized for being too blunt and undiplomatic for the post.
