ENGAGED. Luci Baines Johnson, 36, daughter of the late President Lyndon B. Johnson; and Ian Turpin, 38, a British banker based on Grand Cayman Island; both for the second time; in Austin. Her 1966 marriage to Patrick Nugent ended in divorce 13 years later.

RECOVERING. Eugene J. McCarthy, 67, former Democratic Senator from Minnesota who three times unsuccessfully sought the presidency; from a heart attack; in Washington D.C. McCarthy, who left the Senate in 1970, was listed in fair and stable condition.

DIED. Francisco ("Kiko") Bejines, 20, Mexican bantamweight boxer; from head injuries suffered in a World Boxing Council title bout with Alberto Davila on Sept. 1; in Los Angeles. After undergoing 3 1/2 hours of surgery to remove a section of his frontal lobe, the boxer lingered comatose for two more days; his was the 437th boxing death recorded by Ring magazine over the past 64 years. Bejines' wife, pregnant with the couple's first child, remained in their home town of Guadalajara, Mexico.

DIED. John Gilpin, 53, celebrated dancer with London's Festival Ballet in the 1950s, who on July 28 became the third husband of Monaco's Princess Antoinette; of a heart attack; in London. A dynamic artist whose striking good looks enhanced his roles in such classic ballets as Le Spectre de la Rose and Giselle, Gilpin served as artistic director of the Festival Ballet from 1962 to 1965. He met Antoinette, the sister of Prince Rainier, at a Monte Carlo performance in 1951.

DIED. Claude ("Buddy") Young, 57, former pro running back who was director of player relations for the National Football League; from injuries suffered when the car he was driving went off the road near Terrell, Texas. A remarkably small player (5 ft. 4 in., 170 lbs.), Young made All-America as a freshman at the University of Illinois in 1944, rushing for 13 touchdowns that season to tie Red Grange's school record. His impressive nine-year pro career began with the defunct All-America Conference's New York Yankees and ended with the Baltimore Colts of the N.F.L., who retired his number 22. When Young joined the league commissioner's office in 1964, he became the first black executive in a major sport.

DIED. Leonard Burt, 91, British detective who worked with the crack intelligence agency M15 during World War II and who later (1946-58) commanded Scotland Yard's elite Special Branch, which is responsible for security of the royal family; in London. As England's premier sleuth in the 1940s, Burt collared Traitors William Joyce ("Lord Haw-Haw") and John Amery and Atomic Spies Alan Nunn May and Klaus Fuchs. Quiet and affable, Burt had an uncanny knack for extracting incriminating information from suspects. In his memoirs, he wrote of the typical quarry: "In many cases, he is only too eager to talk. Nine times out of ten a man is the hero of his own stories." This file is automatically generated by a robot program, so viewer discretion is required.
