Milestones

MUGGED. BARBARA MARX SINATRA, 71, widow of Frank Sinatra; in Beverly Hills, Calif. Mrs. Sinatra was strolling home from dinner with friends when, according to Beverly Hills police, three men "used physical force" to wrest approximately $17,000 in cash and valuables from the victims. No one was seriously injured.

MARRIED. MACAULAY CULKIN, 17, yesterday's Hollywood boy wonder, to RACHEL MINER, 17, actress whose credits include a soap and Broadway; in Connecticut.

DIED. CONRAD SCHUMANN, 56, unwitting cold war icon whose impromptu 1961 border crossing produced one of the era's most searing images; after hanging himself; in Bavaria, Germany. Shutterbug Peter Leibing stood by--and snapped--as the defiant 19-year-old East German soldier hurdled the tangle of barbed wire that would soon become the Berlin Wall.

DIED. MAUREEN O'SULLIVAN, 87, demure silver-screen actress who originated Tarzan's sarong-clad jungle-gal Jane; in Scottsdale, Ariz. The convent-educated colleen scandalized '30s audiences with her tree-house trysts. Though she appeared in some 60 films (Pride and Prejudice among them), to her dismay, O'Sullivan remained best known as homemaker for Johnny Weissmuller and his simian sidekicks--and for mothering a real-life brood of seven that included actress Mia Farrow.

DIED. AL CAMPANIS, 81, behind-the-scenes Dodgers exec for four decades who became a household name--and killed his career--after remarking on national TV that black people lacked "some of the necessities" to be major league managers; in Fullerton, Calif. As short stop on the Dodgers farm team, Campanis worked with second baseman Jackie Robinson to perfect the double play. But during a 1987 ABC tribute to his former teammate's breaking the color barrier, Campanis dropped the ball. He was fired two days later.
