Died. Carlos Lacerda, 63, fiery, flamboyant anti-Communist journalist, publisher and politician; of a heart attack; in Rio de Janeiro. As governor of Guanabara state, which included Rio de Janeiro, he vociferously supported military leaders in overthrowing President Joao Goulart in 1964.

Died. Robert Maynard Hutchins, 78, iconoclastic educator who became president of the University of Chicago at 30; of kidney disease; in Santa Barbara, Calif. As the youthful dean of the Yale Law School and then president and chancellor of the University of Chicago for 22 years, Hutchins was a foe of "trivialization" and vocationalism. Believing that education required exposure to the original works of distinguished thinkers, he introduced the Great Books course at Chicago. Another innovation was the flexible "Chicago Plan," which allowed students to enter and leave the university whenever they could pass the entrance and final examinations. Hutchins later served as editorial chairman of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, associate director of the Ford Foundation, and president of the Fund for the Republic, which fought for civil liberties and became an immediate target of McCarthyism. Its resources were used to found the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, a think tank that Hutchins headed for 15 years, resuming its presidency in 1975 when it was in disarray.

Died. General Lewis Blaine Hershey, 83, director of the Selective Service (1941-70), who supervised the draft of 14.5 million Americans; in Angola, Ind. Hershey enlisted in the Indiana National Guard in 1911, went to France with an Army artillery unit in World War I and later became a member of the Army-Navy committee that laid the groundwork for the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940. A target of antiwar protesters during the Viet Nam War, he countered by calling them "enemies of the U.S." and urging draft boards to step up their induction. While instituting the draft by lottery and the volunteer army, President Nixon eased Hershey out of office in 1970, making him a presidential adviser on manpower mobilization. When he retired from the Army at 79, Hershey was the oldest military man on active duty.
