<p> DIED. David ("Sonny") Werblin, 81, multimillionaire talent
agent and a founding owner of the New York Jets; in New York
City. Werblin, who climbed the ladder at the talent agency
M.C.A. to represent Shirley MacLaine and Dean Martin, in 1963
bought a share of the New York Titans, renamed the Jets. By
signing quarterback Joe Namath to the team at a salary of more
than $400,000, Werblin helped start a bidding war for football
players. "My life," he once said, "has been selling tickets."
