Married. Sharman Douglas, 40, daughter of Lewis Douglas, U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James's in the 1940s, and one of society's brightest and busiest career girls (public relations aide to New York's Mayor John Lindsay, fund raiser for numerous charities); and Andrew Mackenzie Hay, 40, wealthy British-born importer of gourmet specialties; she for the first time, he for the second; in a Presbyterian ceremony; in Manhattan.

Died. Conrad Richter, 78, Pulitzer-prizewinning author (The Town), who wrote of U.S. pioneer life in 20 books, including The Trees, The Light in the Forest; of a heart attack; in Pottsville, Pa. With a sure ear for its speech and a shrewd eye for its manners, Richter brought early America to life. The cowboys, Indians and farmers of his novels are more than fictional characters; they are, as one critic noted, explorers who give the "truest picture of the everyday realities of frontier life."

Died. George Papandreou, 80, ex-Premier of Greece, a shrewd, ruthless politician who found the climb more exhilarating than the view from Olympus; in Athens. In a career punctuated by exile, jail and revolution, Papandreou preached a consistently leftist line, fought both the monarchy and Nazi invaders, and became Premier of World War II's government in exile. With peace, he returned to head a left-wing coalition that brought him to power again in 1963. But he resigned in 1965 as the nation's economy declined, social unrest grew and his disputes with King Constantine became ever more acrimonious. When the military junta took over in April 1967, Papandreou was put under house arrest. His son Andreas, an even more active leftist, was thrown in jail and later exiled. Last Easter, when the house arrest was lifted, the old warrior responded with a typically unrepentant statement: "This year, the day of our Lord's resurrection, coincides with the anniversary of our people's crucifixion."

Died. Lise Meitner, 89, Austrian-born nuclear physicist, whose basic research was vital to the development of the atomic bomb; in Cambridge, England. In 1938, after three decades of pioneering work in radioactivity with Chemist Otto Hahn at Berlin's Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, Lise, a Jew, was forced to flee to Sweden--just when she and Hahn were on the verge of achieving nuclear fission. When Hahn sent her the details of his experiments with uranium some months later, she completed the immensely complex mathematical calculations proving that he had indeed split the atom and, in the process, released a fantastic 200 million electron volts of energy.
