<p> DIED. Dean Burch, 63, chairman of the Federal Communications
Commission under President Richard Nixon; of cancer; in
Potomac, Md. In 1964 he led Barry Goldwater's unsuccessful bid
for the White House. As head of the FCC from 1969 to 1974, Burch
pressured the television networks to give more favorable
commentary on Nixon's speeches and advocated more and better
programs for children. He denounced much children's fare as
"just chewing gum for the eyes."
