Married. Joan Baez, 27, premier folk singer; and David Harris, 22, a peace lecturer; (see RELIGION).

Married. Arthur Kopit, 30, playwright with a knack for titles (Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad, The Day the Whores Came Out to Play Tennis); and Leslie Ann Garis, 24, Vassar graduate and granddaughter of the late Howard Garis, creator of the Uncle Wiggily stories; in Riverside, Conn.

Married. George Plimpton, dervish of the Manhattan whirl, sometime author and would-be athlete, who pitched against baseball's All-Stars, quarterbacked the Detroit Lions and boxed against Archie Moore, but couldn't get himself to the altar until he was 41; and Freddy Espy, 26, Manhattan photo-studio assistant, a petite, slightly bewildered blonde whom he met at a party in 1963; in Manhattan. Considering the wait, George was in a positive sprint. Poor Freddy didn't find out until 10:30 a.m., seven hours before her wedding. Peter Duchin's wife, Cheray, who fixed up a friend's apartment for the ceremony, was luckier--George told her at 9 a.m. His father and mother got there in time, but his brother couldn't. Still, Jackie Kennedy was on hand with Caroline; so were Poet Marianne Moore, Novelists Philip Roth, William Styron, Terry Southern and about 30 other chums. Then everybody raced off to a little Second Avenue bistro for supper. Honeymoon? Later, baby. George headed for Indiana to campaign for Bobby.

Died. Colonel Yuri A. Gagarin, 34, Soviet cosmonaut, who on April 12, 1964 became the first man in space with a one-orbit flight aboard Vostok I; in the crash of an unannounced type of plane, also killing Colonel Vladimir S. Seryogin, 46; near Moscow. Short (5 ft. 3 in.) and stocky, the son of a rural carpenter, Gagarin won his pilot's wings in 1957, the year of the Sputnik, shortly after was tapped for the first class of cosmonauts. His historic 89-minute orbit of the globe made him Russia's greatest hero since World War II.

Died. Paul J. Hallinan, 56, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Atlanta, one of the South's foremost advocates of social and religious liberalism; of acute hepatitis; in Atlanta. Hallinan's first act after his appointment in 1962 was to order desegregation of schools and other Catholic institutions under his jurisdiction; in 1965, he sent priests and nuns to the Selma, Ala., civil rights march, and earlier this month he bluntly advised Atlanta's citizens to open their neighborhoods "so Negroes can exercise the right of every American to live where he wishes."

Died. Nicholas Samstag, 64, author and former (1943-60) promotion director of TIME; of cancer; in Manhattan. A recognized, often flamboyant practitioner of his trade, Samstag wrote a number of successful books, including Bamboozled and The Uses of Ineptitude and, while running his own agency after 1960, took ads in Manhattan newspapers offering to teach anyone everything he knew about the advertising and promotion business--for a fee of $10,000. The day after Samstag's death, his fifth wife, Suzanne, 38, was found dead in her room at a Kennedy Airport hotel.

Died. Belle Willard Roosevelt, 75, of the Oyster Bay (meaning Republican) Roosevelts, daughter-in-law of Teddy, widow of Kermit and to her family's dismayed surprise, ardently Democratic supporter of Franklin; of cancer; in Manhattan.

Died. Dr. William M. Scholl, 85, foot doctor to the world and the first bunion millionaire; in Chicago. Scholl, who had but one corn in his whole life, informed the limping populace that "Ninety percent of the American public is walking around with sore feet, and in almost every case it's the fault of the individual," then helped ease the pain with more than 1,000 foot comforts peddled around the world. An oddball to some (for years he carried a skeleton of a foot in his pocket), he claimed that success in podiatry is a matter of "early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise."

Died. Winthrop M. Crane Jr., 86, board chairman of Crane & Co., the 167-year-old family firm that for nearly a century has made practically all the paper for U.S. currency; of pneumonia; in Dalton, Mass.

Died. Eleonora Sears, 86, Thomas Jefferson's great-great-granddaughter, member of a wealthy Boston family, who devoted her life to vigorous sports in a day when most ladies stopped at croquet; in Palm Beach, Fla. Poised, beautifully dressed, feminine enough that Harold S. Vanderbilt reportedly asked for her hand, she nevertheless was a sport for all seasons; she excelled in tennis (National Singles champion in 1907), squash (so good and so persistent that all-male clubs opened their doors), polo (in which she appeared wearing pants and astride the horse), sailing, ice skating--anything, in fact, that caught her fancy. And later, when age crept up, her idea of a day's outing was a marathon walk, such as the 1925 quicktime (47 miles in 11 hr. 5 min.) hike between Providence and Boston, when she urged on her laggard male companions, saying: "You're supposed to pace me, not chase me."
