Married. Mrs. Virginia Johnson, 46, and Dr. William H. Masters, 55. sex researchers and co-authors of the 1966 bestseller Human Sexual Response and its 1970 sequel. Human Sexual Inadequacy; both for the second time (he was divorced by his first wife last August); on Jan. 7, in Fayetteville, Ark. Masters and Johnson published their findings after eleven years of study of sexual responses of 700 people; their second book applied the results of their work to helping 500 other couples and, in one case, provoked a $750,000 damage suit by a man who accused the team of "procuring" his wife as a paid sex partner for two male patients.

Presumed Dead. Larry Burrows, 44, premier LIFE photographer of the Indochina war (see PRESS).

Died. Dr. Joseph W. Spelman, 52, pathologist who as Philadelphia medical examiner gained national attention by urging an autopsy of Mary Jo Kopechne, the secretary who lost her life while on an outing with Senator Edward Kennedy at Chappaquiddick Island, Mass.; of stomach cancer; in Philadelphia. A onetime Vermont state pathologist, Spelman once shocked the state by claiming publicly that 90% of all murders committed in Vermont went unprosecuted because of the slipshod methods of reporting deaths. In Philadelphia, he started a poison-information center, helped establish a suicide-control center and tried to spare the feelings of bereaved relatives by installing closed-circuit television in the city morgue for the identification of bodies.

Died. Lieut. General Ali Ali Amer, 64, chief of the Egyptian armed forces during the disastrous 1956 Sinai defeat at the hands of Israel; of a heart attack; in Alexandria, Egypt. Despite that debacle, during which Israeli troops routed his forces on the desert peninsula in less than a week, Amer remained in favor with Egypt's President Nasser, was named chief of staff in 1959, and head of the Arab unified military command in 1964, a position he retained until his retirement in 1968, after the Six-Day War.

Died. Dr. Nelson Glueck, 70, archaeologist and Reform rabbi who thought the Bible a reliable map to buried historical treasure and proved it by digging his way to more than 1,500 archaeological finds in Transjordan and the Negev (TIME cover, Dec. 13, 1963); in Cincinnati. Dr. Glueck was called both "the scholar with a shovel" and "the rabbi with a rifle" because of his fearless exploring in the sniper-infested desert of strife-torn Israel.

Died. J.C. Penney, 95, U.S. retailing genius (see BUSINESS).
