Milestones

By Tam Gray, Ian Judson, Michele Orecklin, Edgar Ortega Barrales, Alain Sanders and Jessica Yadegaran

BORN. To capricious princess of Monaco STEPHANIE GRIMALDI, 33; a girl, Camille Marie Kelly; in Monaco. Stephanie, who has two other children and is divorced, has not revealed the father's identity.

MARRIED. Seemingly newly acquainted twosome ROBERT EVANS, 68, the film producer, and CATHERINE OXENBERG, 36, the actress; in Beverly Hills, Calif. Said Evans' spokesman: "I didn't even know he knew her."

HIRED. Penitent sportscaster MARV ALBERT, 55; by MSG Network; in New York City. Albert, who will play host on a half-hour show and call radio play-by-play for the Knicks, was forced to resign from the network last year following a lurid trial in which he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for biting a former lover.

DIED. NGUYEN NGOC LOAN, 67, South Vietnamese national-police commander whose 1968 point-blank execution of a bound Viet Cong prisoner in Saigon stunned Americans when they saw it on film; in Burke, Va. The widely reprinted photo, which won a Pulitzer Prize for Associated Press photographer Eddie Adams, fortified public opinion against the war. After the fall of Saigon, Loan and his family moved to Virginia, where he ran a restaurant. (See Eulogy below.)

DIED. RICHARD MCDONALD, 89, vending visionary who, with his brother Maurice, started a hamburger chain that became international fast-food behemoth McDonald's Corp; in Manchester, N.H. In 1948 the brothers created the first self-service drive-through, offering speedy service and low prices. As the franchise expanded, Maurice handled operations while Richard focused on marketing, designing the now ubiquitous Golden Arches and the "millions served" placards. In 1961 the brothers sold the business for $2.7 million to Ray Kroc, once their milk-shake mixer salesman.
