MILESTONES Married. Candy Mossier, 51, the softspoken, blonde Georgia belle who, after her sensational 1966 trial on a charge of murdering her 69-year-old millionaire husband Jacques Mossier, was acquitted along with Nephew Melvin Lane Powers; and Barnett Garrison, 32, an electrical contractor; she for the third, he for the second time; in Houston.

Married. Arthur Schlesinger Jr., 53, Pulitzer-prizewinning historian (in 1946 for The Age of Jackson and in 1966 for A Thousand Days: John F. Kennedy in the White House), intellectual fixture of the New Frontier and now a Professor at the City University of New York; and Alexandra Emmet Allan, 35, daughter of the late Lily Gushing, noted painter; both for the second time; in Manhattan.

Died. Pedro Rodriguez, 31, onetime "boy wonder" of international auto racing; of injuries sustained when his Ferrari crashed during a European Inter-series race; in Nuremberg, West Germany. The sons of a Mexico City millionaire, Pedro and his brother Ricardo were regulars on the international racing circuit while still teenagers. Ricardo was killed while practicing for the Mexican Grand Prix in 1962, but Pedro went on to win at Le Mans in 1968 and capture first place at Daytona Beach, Fla. for the past two years.

Died. Prince Franz Joseph Maria La-moral, 78, who as Duke of Thurn and Taxis was Germany's wealthiest nobleman and the patriarch of one of Europe's oldest families; of a heart attack; in Regensburg, West Germany. The godson of Austrian Emperor Franz Josef and titular head of the clan that introduced the international postal system to Europe in the 16th century, the prince presided over a billion-dollar financial empire that includes Germany's third biggest private bank and vast stretches of latifundia in Bavaria, Canada and Brazil. One of the last Continental nobles to live in the imperial manner, he maintained eight castles staffed by more than 350 servants.

Died. Edgar N. Eisenhower, 82, corporation lawyer and elder brother (by 21 months) of the late President; of a stroke; in Tacoma, Wash. When Edgar publicly chided his brother for proposing an oversized budget in 1957, Ike shrugged: "Edgar has been criticizing me since I was five years old." The second of the seven Eisenhower brothers, "Big Ike," as Edgar was known, liked to recall how he and "Little Ike" would fight "for the sheer joy of slugging one another" during their boyhood days in Abilene, Kans. But when 14-year-old Dwight got blood poisoning after skinning his knee, Edgar physically barred the doctor from amputating.
