MILESTONES
INDICTED. THEODORE KACZYNSKI, 54; on federal charges for four Unabomber attacks; in Sacramento, California.
RECOVERING. STUDS TERKEL, 84, Pulitzer-prizewinning author; from quintuple bypass surgery; in Chicago.
DIED. G. DAVID SCHINE, 68, the Joseph McCarthy aide whose controversial Army stint led to the historic 1954 Army-McCarthy Senate hearings; in a private-plane crash that also killed his wife and a son; in Burbank, California. The hearings exposed the Senator's communist-hunting excesses and led to his downfall.
DIED. MICHEL TER-POGOSSIAN, 71, scientist who led the team that made the pet scanner into a practical diagnostic tool; of a heart attack; in Paris.
DIED. THOMAS KUHN, 73, influential history of science professor; of cancer; in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Kuhn said that scientific advancement was revolutionary--not evolutionary--and occurred when one scientific paradigm displaced another.
DIED. ANDREAS PAPANDREOU, 77, the first Socialist Prime Minister of Greece; in Athens. He was democrat and demagogue, a man whose doctrinaire ideology and fist-in-the-air oratory could just as often inflame an audience as inform it. Once a U.S. citizen, he parlayed a virulent anti-Americanism to power, delayed only by a military coup that imprisoned, then exiled him. He became Prime Minister in 1984 and, except for a hiatus caused by financial scandal, and despite resigning in January due to illness, was the central political figure of Greece until his death.
DIED. MEL ALLEN, 83, sportscaster whose tenor-toned Alabama drawl became the voice of the New York Yankees; in Greenwich, Connecticut.
DIED. CHARLES KADES, 90, the lawyer who oversaw the drafting of Japan's postwar democratic Constitution; in Greenfield, Massachusetts.
