Monday, Sep. 01, 1975

Married. George Corley Wallace Jr., 23, second son of Alabama's Governor and his late first wife Lurleen, a sometime country-and-western singer now studying political science at Huntingdon College in Montgomery; and his high school sweetheart, Janice Culbertson, 23, now an ad-agency art director; both for the first time; in Montgomery. George Sr. was best man.

Married. Edgar M. Bronfman, 46, board chairman of Seagram Company Ltd.; and Georgiana Eileen Webb, 25, daughter of a retired British builder who runs Ye Olde Nosebag in Essex, England; he for the third time, she for the first; on the 174-acre grounds of Bronfman's Yorktown, N.Y., estate, in a ceremony that had been postponed for four days because of the kidnaping of his son Samuel (see THE NATION).

Died. Mark Donohue, 38, top-ranking American driver; following brain surgery after a crash while he was practicing for the Austrian Grand Prix; in Graz, Austria. Son of a New Jersey attorney, Donohue studied mechanical engineering at Brown University but began racing professionally in 1966, and quickly built a reputation as a cool, pleasant, almost error-free technician. After winning several major events--including the Indianapolis 500 in 1972--and more than $1 million in purses, he quit driving briefly in 1974, then slipped into the slim cockpit of a Formula One car this year in pursuit of the one trophy that still eluded him: a major Grand Prix victory. "That last lap," he said during his short retirement. "I really didn't want it to end; I wanted it to go on and on."

Died. John Kriza, 56, charter member and longtime (1940-66) star of the world-renowned American Ballet Theatre; in an apparently accidental drowning; near Naples, Florida.

Died. Frederick Glidden, 67, better known by his pen name Luke Short, Illinois-born author of more than 50 hell-bent-for-leather Westerns, some of them later adapted into successful movies (Ramrod, Vengeance Valley, Blood on the Moon), all of them turned out with a plot formula he described as "writing myself into a corner, then writing my way out again"; of cancer; in Aspen, Colo.

Died. Ima Hogg, 93, spirited Houston oil heiress and arts patron whose benefactions to the Houston Symphony, which she helped to found in 1913 after abandoning a budding career as a concert pianist, and other cultural causes made her the doyenne of Lone Star society; of complications after a fall suffered while traveling in London.
