MARRIED, Maria del Rosario Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart Silva y Falco, 52, better known as the Duchess of Alba, one of the world's wealthiest and most titled women (47 titles in all), who once trained as a bullfighter; and Jesus Aguirre y Ortiz de Zarate, 44. the government's director of music, a former Roman Catholic priest known as an elegant dresser and a respected European intellectual; she for the second time, he for the first; in a quiet ceremony at the duchess's palace in Madrid.

DIED. John Cazale, 42, an actor who went straight to the private heart of his every characterization; of cancer; in Manhattan. Cazale found his widest success as Fredo, the slow, shy, forever startled, finally traitorous older brother in Francis Coppola's Godfather films. Other parts--notably as Al Pacino's out-of-tune partner in Dog Day Afternoon--confirmed Cazale's gift for searching out the darkest shadows in a role, then rendering them with shades of wit and unswerving compassion.

DIED. Matthew Josephson, 79, biographer of an imposing collection of Old and New World figures; in Santa Cruz, Calif. After a period as a young expatriate in Paris in the 1920s, Josephson concentrated on famous Frenchmen (Rousseau and Zola). But a roving intellect led him home to do literary portraits of Americans (Thomas Edison, Al Smith and Sidney Hillman) as well as a study of 19th century capitalists whose rapacious ways he exploited in his most celebrated book, The Robber Barons.

DIED. Theresa Weld Blanchard, 84, who became America's first ladies' figure-skating champion in 1914, and won nine U.S. gold medals with Partner Nathaniel Niles during her reign as "Queen of the Ice" in the 1920s and 1930s; of cancer; in Boston. Rebelling against the constrained motions then expected even of free skaters in America, Blanchard pioneered a more sweeping international style and was often marked down by judges for her "unladylike" loops and swoops. She founded Skating magazine and served as its editor for 40 years.

DIED. Admiral Sir Henry Ruthven Moore, 91, indomitable British seaman who distinguished himself in two world wars; in Wateringbury, England. Moore won the Distinguished Service Order as a young navigator for destroyer flotillas at the Battle of Jutland in World War I. But his finest hour came in April 1944, when, as a vice admiral, he directed a crippling aircraft carrier attack on Hitler's last remaining giant battleship, the 45,000-ton Tirpitz, as it lay in a Norwegian fjord.
