MILESTONES

MARRIED. NANCY KERRIGAN, 25, ice queen, and JERRY SOLOMON, 41, her agent; in Boston. Her first marriage, his second.

DIED. JOHN MEGNA, 42, stage and screen actor best remembered for his child-star turn as the precocious youngster Dill in the 1962 film adaptation of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird; of aids; in Los Angeles.

DIED. WILLIAM KUNSTLER, 76, lawyer; of a heart attack; in New York City. His face seemed ready-made for a radical's Mount Rushmore-the broad, furrowed brow, the corona of unkempt hair, the dishabille that left him looking as if he'd been blown around by the furies he provoked with his fierce defenses of civil and criminal rights. In the summer of 1961, however, he was more conventionally groomed. That's when he got his first taste of radical politics, springing antisegregationist Freedom Riders from Southern jails. The experience changed his life and led to a client list that could serve as an American Dissidents' Hall of Fame: Martin Luther King Jr., Lenny Bruce, Al Sharpton, flag burner Gregory Johnson, Indian activist Leonard Peltier, Attica prison rioters, Malcolm X and-decades later-Malcolm's daughter Qubilah Shabazz. Kunstler's combative defense of the Chicago Seven brought him four years' worth of contempt citations (none of it served). His use of courtrooms as high- profile political platforms often worked to client's and cause's good, but not always-leading to the rueful observation that Kunstler was "the only lawyer who could get you the death penalty for a traffic ticket."

DIED. GENERAL EDMOND JOUHAUD, 90, the last survivor of the four French generals who staged the failed 1961 putsch in Algiers to overthrow President Charles de Gaulle and keep Algeria in French hands; in Royan, France. Jouhaud was condemned to death, but De Gaulle commuted his sentence to life in prison and then released him in 1967.
