Born. To Robert Francis Kennedy, 37, Attorney General of the U.S., and Ethel Skakel Kennedy, 34: their eighth child, fifth son, and second July 4th baby (the other: eldest daughter Kathleen, 12), whose imminent arrival a week ahead of schedule brought the Marines on the double with a helicopter to fly Ethel, keeping calm, and Bobby, looking nervous, from Hyannis Port to a parking lot in Boston, where a police car took over for the rest of the trip to St. Elizabeth's Hospital for her delivery by caesarean section.

Married. Dinah Washington, 38, jazz record queen (What a Difference a Day Makes); and Dick ("Night Train") Lane, 35, durable defensive halfback for the Detroit Lions; he for the second time, she for the seventh; in Las Vegas.

Died. Thomas Percy Henry Touchet Tuchet-Jesson, 49, 23rd Baron Audley, sometime playwright, heir to one of England's most ancient titles (dating back to 1313) and third husband (of 13 months) of Actress Sarah Churchill, Sir Winston's star-crossed daughter (her first husband, Comedian Vic Oliver, divorced her in 1945; her second, Society Photographer Antony Beauchamp, committed suicide in 1957); of a heart attack; in Granada, Spain.

Died. Rene Robert Bouche, 57, brilliant Manhattan portraitist, Vogue illustrator, TIME cover artist (Jean Kerr, Sophia Loren, John F. and Edward Kennedy); of a heart attack; in Ling-field, England. A slight, wiry, cosmopolite (Czech-born, to a French father, Hungarian mother), Bouche studied in Munich and Paris, went through "all the isms--expressionism, surrealism, nonobjectivism"--before settling in New York in 1941 to find his real calling: chronicling "the quintessential people of our time" from Arp to Zeckendorf, and producing a gallery always elegant and sometimes profound--as when he painted Elsa Maxwell as a Velasquez court dwarf.

Died. General Bernard Cyril ("Tiny") Freyberg, 74, New Zealand's hero of two world wars, proud possessor of nine battle wounds and many more decorations (including the Victoria Cross), a bluff, towering New Zealander who swam the Gulf of Saros o Gallipoli in 1915, dragging a raft of lares in a diversionary tactic against the Turks, in World War II led Imperial troops in Libya, bloody Crete and Italy, where he once squelched a U.S. genral's complaint that New Zealanders never saluted with the crack, "Try waving at them and they'll wave back," returned home to serve as New Zealand's hugely popular Governor General from 1946 to 1952; following an internal hemorrhage; in Windsor, England.
