MILESTONES

HOSPITALIZED. BOB DYLAN, 56, folk-rock's seminal poet; for a potentially fatal fungal infection, histoplasmosis.

CONVICTED. JESSE TIMMENDEQUAS, 36, sex offender whose trial for killing Megan Kanka, then 7, provoked the passage of a federal bill requiring that communities be warned of the presence of sexual felons; of kidnapping, sexual assault and murder; in Trenton, N.J.

CONVICTED. MARKUS WOLF, 74, elusive East German spymaster, known to cold war operatives as the "man without a face"; of kidnapping, and given a two-year suspended sentence; in Dusseldorf.

DIED. AMY SVOBODA, 29, fighter pilot; after her A-10 jet plunged into the southwestern Arizona desert, in the first fatal crash of a female Air Force pilot.

DIED. WILLIAM CUNNINGHAM, 67, fiery priest who sparked hope in the bleak aftermath of Detroit's 1967 race riots by founding a hugely successful organization to feed and train the urban poor; of complications related to cancer; in Detroit. The once shaggy-haired cleric led Focus: HOPE while zipping about his parish on a Harley-Davidson.

DIED. EDWARD MULHARE, 74, Irish-born actor who made a career playing astringent Englishmen; of lung cancer; in Van Nuys, Calif. Mulhare followed in Rex Harrison's footsteps, playing Professor Henry Higgins on Broadway and the equally irascible Captain Gregg in TV's The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

DIED. JOHN SENGSTACKE, 84, outspoken owner and publisher of the Chicago Defender, a black daily; in Chicago.

DIED. DAVID LUDLUM, 86, weatherwise historian whose meteorological forecasts influenced the course of World War II; in Princeton, N.J. Well before smiling suns and animated cold fronts gained the day (and screen), this soldier-forecaster surveyed the skies to help time a successful assault on a German fortress in Italy.

DIED. SYDNEY GUILAROFF, 89, hair stylist whose Hollywood coiffures were a cut above the rest; in Beverly Hills. Guilaroff's magical scissorhands gave Claudette Colbert her frisky bangs and transformed the blonde Lucille Ball into a riotous redhead.

DIED. MANFRED VON ARDENNE, 90, Germany's scientific jack-of-all-trades; in Dresden. The "Red Baron" vowed to switch fields each decade to keep his intellect sharp. As a physicist, he helped the Soviets build the atom bomb.

DIED. MOHAMMED FADHIL JAMALI, 94, Iraqi Prime Minister who signed the United Nations charter; in Tunis. A moderate in Iran's immoderate 1958 revolution, he just escaped the hangman's noose on his way to eventual exile in Tunisia.

DIED. JAMES LEE BYARS, 65, whimsical artist who made a spectacle of himself by posing in his own fanciful exhibits; of cancer; in Cairo. A pink silk airplane with space for 100 passengers and a mile-long communal scarlet robe typified Byars' inscrutable style, which he once explained to TIME: "As soon as I open my mouth, I find myself in a state of alienation."
