Monday, Sep. 21, 1981
MARRIED. Mairead Corrigan, 37, who as co-founder of the Peace People in Northern Ireland shared in the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize; and Jack Maguire, 37, auto mechanic and widower of the bride's sister, Anne Maguire, who inspired the movement after three of her children were killed by a car involved in a shootout between British troops and an Irish Republican Army guerrilla; she for the first time, he for the second; in Rome.
MARRIED. George Wallace, 62, former Alabama Governor and American Independent Party presidential candidate; and Lisa Taylor, 32, country-and-western singer turned executive of a family-owned coal firm; he for the third time, she for the second; in Prattville, Ala. Wallace, who was divorced from his second wife Cornelia in 1978, met Taylor when she and her sister sang at voter rallies during his 1968 presidential campaign.
DIED. Charles S. Sheldon II, 64, former chief of the Science Policy Research Division of the Library of Congress who over the past two decades ranked as perhaps the nation's leading authority on the Soviet space effort; of cancer; in Arlington, Va.
DIED. Hideki Yukawa, 74, Japanese physicist who, while working as a visiting professor at Columbia University in 1949, became his country's first Nobel prizewinner for his theories on subatomic particles, which predicted the existence of the meson, a bit of energized matter believed to hold the atomic nucleus together; of pneumonia; in Kyoto.
DIED. Edwin Link, 77, inventor of the Link flight simulator, a device used to train millions of military and commercial airline pilots for instrument landings; of cancer; in Binghamton, N.Y. A seasoned pilot at age 25, Link built his first simulator in 1929 and, as the head of Link Aviation from 1935 to 1954, went on to produce trainers for radar, gunnery and space navigation. Starting in the 1950s, he helped to develop a series of manned ocean explorers, including the first practical submersible with an exit hatch to allow divers to explore the ocean floor at far greater depths than before.
DIED. Jacques Lacan, 80, controversial French psychoanalyst who in 1964 founded the Freudian School of Paris after being expelled from the International Psychoanalytical Association for unorthodox practices (his sessions with patients were sometimes as brief as five or even three minutes); of an abdominal tumor; in Paris. Lacan, who last year dissolved the Freudian School on the ground that it had fallen into "deviations and compromises," maintained that adult psychic disorders often stemmed from the learning of language--and the repression of nonverbal ideas and urges--during childhood.
