Married. Robert Shaw, 57, conductor of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and director of the Robert Shaw Chorale since 1948; and Caroline Saultz Hitz, 37, a member of the Atlanta Symphony board; both for the second time; in Atlanta.

Divorced. Richard Roundtree, 31, portrayer of John Shaft, the leather-suited black private eye who has battered his way through three movies and is now the star of a television series; and Mary Jane Roundtree; after ten years of marriage, five years of separation and two children; in Chicago.

Died. Walden Robert Cassoto, 37, the crooner known as Bobby Darin, who at 22 became a rock-'n'-roll star with Splish Splash, won a larger audience with his driving version of Kurt Weill's Mack the Knife; following open-heart surgery for a longtime heart ailment; in Los Angeles. A confessed student of the Sinatra style, Darin characteristically loosened his tie and snapped his fingers even when singing somber songs. In 1960 he married Sandra Dee, but by the middle of the decade both his marriage and his career were turning sour. A divorce and a new image gave him a boost, but he never achieved his outspoken ambition "to become a legend."

Butts, a stern, demanding field commander, led his teams to eight bowl games and four Southeastern Conference championships. When a 1963 article in the Saturday Evening Post charged Butts and Alabama Coach Paul ("Bear") Bryant with rigging the results of the 1962 Alabama-Georgia game, Butts took his case all the way to the Supreme Court, which eventually upheld a reduced award of $460,000.

Died. Amleto Giovanni Cardinal Cicognani, 90, scholarly Apostolic Delegate to the U.S. (1933-58) and Secretary of State of the Vatican (1961-69); following a brief illness; in Rome. Cicognani made the recommendations for every American bishop appointed during his 25 years in Washington.

Died. Charles Greeley Abbot, 101, astrophysicist, inventor and secretary of the Smithsonian Institution from 1928-44; in Riverdale, Md. In 1972, a crater on the moon's dark side was named for Abbot, who spent more than 70 years studying the effects of solar radiation on terrestrial weather patterns and patented numerous devices for converting the sun's heat into energy.
