Friday, Sep. 02, 1966

Married. Katharine Bancroft Schlesinger, 24, daughter of Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., a VISTA volunteer doing domestic Peace Corps chores in Kentucky; and Gibbs Von Kinderman, 23, Harvard '64, performing similar tasks in Tennessee for the Appalachian Volunteers; in Lincoln, Mass.

Married. Ernest Henderson, 69, co-founder and board chairman of the 102-hotel Sheraton chain; and Faryl Finn, 25, publicity director of the new Sheraton-Boston; he for the second time.

Divorced. Floyd Patterson, 31 , former world-heavyweight boxing champion; by Sandra Hicks Patterson, 29, who complained that he refused to heed her plea to quit boxing; after ten years of marriage, four children; in Juarez, Mexico.

Died. Fulton Lewis Jr., 63, radio commentator who for 30 years beamed his nightly "top of the news from Washington" to some 370 Mutual stations across the U.S.; of a heart attack; in Washington. A onetime Hearst Washington reporter, Lewis was clear about where he stood: far to the Right, against the New Deal, Fair Deal, big government, and anything he thought Communistic -- and he thought quite a few things were. His extreme positions -- such as crusading for Joseph McCarthy -- disillusioned many of his faithful fans and caused both his impact and his audience to wane.

Died. General Tadeusz Komorowski, 71, Polish resistance hero in World War II, best remembered as "General Bor," a tall, wiry cavalry officer who went underground in 1939, led the tragic Warsaw uprising in the summer of 1944, when 40,000 ill-equipped members of the Polish resistance fought a doomed battle against four German divisions for 63 days while Russian troops halted their advance to watch the slaughter from only ten miles away, after which Bor charged Russia with cruel betrayal, claiming the Poles had been promised aid if they rose; of a heart attack; in Woughton on the Green, England.

Died. Francis X. Bushman, 83, first of the silent film idols; of a heart attack; in Pacific Palisades, Calif. Tall, flashing-eyed and granite-jawed, Bushman made more than 400 romantic two-reelers between 1911 and 1918, became a rage. "The King," they called him, and he lived the part -- 18 secretaries to answer his fan mail, a 280-acre estate near Baltimore, 300 Great Danes, and a gold-trimmed Marmon limousine. He made and spent $6,000,000 in five years, and then his secret got out -- a wife and five children. The fans faded, the 1929 crash wiped out what little he had saved, and he spent the rest of his life earning a modest living from radio soap operas and TV guest appearances.
