Born. To Rodman Clark Rockefeller, 31, Nelson’s eldest son, a vice president of the Rockefeller-backed International Basic Economy Corp., and Barbara Olsen Rockefeller, 30: their fourth child, third son (the Governor’s eleventh grandchild); in Manhattan. Name: Michael, after Rodman’s youngest brother, lost two years ago off New Guinea and legally declared dead last week.

Married. Leonidas Rhadames Trujillo, 22, younger son of the Dominican Republic’s slain strongman, who now spends his time hitting Europe’s hotspots on the $200 million fortune the family got away with; and Daniele Gaubert, 20, French starlet and Rhadames’ longtime fiancee; in Authouillet, France.

Died. Ewald Peters, 49, West Germany’s chief of personal security, responsible for the safety of Chancellors Adenauer and Erhard from 1960 until his arrest, fortnight ago, on charges of having participated in mass executions of Jews in the Ukraine in 1942 and 1943; by his own hand (hanged with a bed sheet); in a Bonn prison cell. In hearings after his arrest and in letters he left behind, Peters repeatedly claimed innocence; state prosecutors have now marked the case “closed.”

Died. Clarence Irving Lewis, 80, professor of philosophy at Harvard from 1930 to 1953, a specialist in mathematical logic and the theory of knowledge (he argued that moral judgments can be as objective as judgments on matters of fact) whose Mind and the World Order became a widely used text; of a heart attack; in Menlo Park, Calif.

Died. Sir Albert Edward Richardson, 83, British architect, onetime (1955-57) president of the Royal Academy of Arts, an 18th century addict who considered modern buildings “cellular facades cloaked with vitreous indifference,” believed that “nothing should be streamlined except water closets,” himself eschewed electricity and telephones, entertained in wig and knee breeches and paid calls on special occasions reclining regally in a sedan chair; of heart disease, in Ampthill, Bedfordshire.

Died. Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy, 94, dashing Philippine revolutionary hero who led his first uprising against the Spanish at 27, headed a peasant army of 50,000 guerrillas on the side of the U.S. in the Spanish-American War, then when Spain lost in 1898 turned on the U.S., demanding immediate independence and starting a second guerrilla rebellion that took two years to subdue, after which he settled down (on a $500-a-month pension) to become a prosperous hemp grower but always wore a black tie until real independence came in 1946; of a heart attack; near Manila.
