Born. To Mario Andretti, 29, the diminutive auto-racing ace, record-breaking (156.867-m.p.h. average) winner of this year's Indianapolis 500, and Dee Ann Andretti, 27, his wife of seven years; their third child, first daughter; in Bethlehem, Pa.

Married. Zubin Mehta, 33, galvanic, Indian-born conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, whose piercing eyes, touseled hair and magnetic personality have made him a favorite with women; and Nancy Kovack, a former aide to Dave Garroway on the Today show and 1968-69 Emmy Award nominee for her performance on the TV series Mannix; he for the second time; in a Methodist service followed by a Zoroastrian ceremony; in Los Angeles.

Married. Alec Waugh, 71, British novelist, biographer and world traveler, who for years labored in the shadow of young brother Evelyn, finally achieved fame and fortune of his own with the 1956 publication of the bestselling Island in the Sun; and Virginia Sorensen, 57, U.S. author of children's books (Curious Missie, Plain Girl, Miracles on Maple Hill); he for the third time, she for the second; in a short civil ceremony; in Gibraltar.

Divorced. Lieut. Colonel Donn Eisele, 39, navigator on last October's Apollo 7 flight; by Harriet Eisele, 38; on uncontested grounds of mental cruelty; after 16 years of marriage, three children; in Houston.

Died. Morris ("Whitey") Bimstein, 72, one of prizefighting's great trainers and "cutmen," who in his 50 years in the corner attended the lacerations and bruises of such champions as Gene Tunney, James J. Braddock and Ingemar Johansson; in New York City. There were few who could match Whitey's wizardry with swabs, antiseptics and astringent lotions in the 60 seconds between rounds, as in 1947 when he saved Rocky Graziano from almost certain defeat at the hands of Tony Zale by patching a third-round eye cut that threatened to end the fight.

Died. Julio de Mesquita Filho, 77, Brazilian publisher, head of O Estado de Sao Paulo, one of South America's most influential and respected dailies; of pneumonia; in Sao Paulo. All through the 1930s Mesquita fought the demagoguery, corruption and censorship of Dictator Getulio Vargas and was one of the forces that eventually brought his overthrow in 1945. In 1964, Mesquita lent his powerful support to the coup that ousted Leftist President Joao Goulart, but later grew disenchanted with the military dictatorship that resulted, and rejoined the battle for a free press and democratic elections.
