DIED. Agha Mohammed Yahya Khan, 63, former Pakistani military strongman who presided over the 1971 breakup of Pakistan and the country's humiliating defeat in war by India; of an internal hemorrhage; in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Yahya seized power in 1969, while commander in chief of the armed forces, promising a quick return to democratic rule. But when East Pakistan's Sheik Mujibur Rahman won the 1970 national election and demanded broad autonomy for the long neglected eastern wing of the country, Yahya refused to yield power; Sheik Mujibur was arrested and civil war broke out. Yahya's troops began a wave of massacres and atrocities against civilians in the occupied East that sent 8 million refugees fleeing to India. Eventually, India intervened on the side of East Pakistan, which emerged victorious as the independent state of Bangladesh; Yahya's discredited regime collapsed, and he spent the next six years under house arrest.

DIED. Paul Robert, 69, France's Noah Webster, compiler of the famous seven-volume Dictionnaire Alphabetique et Analogique de la Langue Francaise known familiarly as the Grand Robert, and its one-volume condensation, the Petit Robert; after a long illness; in Mougins, France. While still a law student, he realized the inadequacy of existing French dictionaries, especially in cross references to synonyms and analogues; in 1945 he gave up the law for lexicography. Official recognition from the Academic Francaise for his early work encouraged him to proceed from A to zymotique, and, with occasional detours into books on other subjects, the final volume of the Grand Robert was published in 1964.
