MILESTONES

By DANIEL EISENBERG, TAM GRAY, ANITA HAMILTON, JANICE HOROWITZ, NADYA LABI, JAMIE MALANOWSKI, MICHELE ORECKLIN AND ALAIN SANDERS

INDICTED. HENRY CISNEROS, 50, Clinton's first Housing Secretary; on 18 felony counts, including lying to the fbi about payments to his ex-mistress; by a federal grand jury; in Washington.

SENTENCED. AUTUMN JACKSON, 23, misguided blackmailer who attempted to extort $40 million from the man she would like to call Dad, Bill Cosby; to 26 months in prison; in New York City.

DIED. GIOVANNI ALBERTO AGNELLI, 33, great-grandson of the founder of the Fiat empire and heir apparent at the corporation; of intestinal cancer; in Turin. Company legend had the dashing but unpretentious Agnelli working as a lathe operator to savor blue-collar life. He had been expected to succeed Cesare Romiti (who took over as chairman from Agnelli's famous uncle Gianni) in 1999.

DIED. WILLIE PASTRANO, 62, fleet-foot boxer whose nimble moves inspired Muhammad Ali; of cancer; in New Orleans. A chubby child who was the butt of many a schoolyard joke, Pastrano dropped the pounds--and his opponents--in the ring, becoming world light-heavyweight champion in the 1960s.

DIED. HAROLD ("Hal") LIPSET, 78, private eye who famously put a bug in a martini olive; in the town that avidly tracked his gumshoe doings, San Francisco. Founder of the World Association of Detectives, Lipset demonstrated his electrical know-how for a Senate subcommittee in the 1960s with that oft parodied olive. Duly impressed, Washington briefly hired him as a Watergate investigator.

DIED. ELIOT DANIEL, 89, tunemeister who composed the upbeat theme song for I Love Lucy; in Los Angeles. Convinced the wacky sitcom would tank, Daniel initially asked that his name not appear in the credits.

DIED. TAMARA GEVA, 91, witty Russian ballerina-actress; in New York City. Geva, just shy of 16, married the choreographer George Balanchine, becoming, as her autobiography Split Seconds put it, "the first Galatea to his Pygmalion." She set aside dancing in the '30s to act and later starred in George Bernard Shaw's Misalliance.
