> MEGAN MARSHAK: This obscure researcher for Nelson Rockefeller became a household name when the former veep and governor died of a heart attack Jan. 26, 1979. Marshak, then 27, was at his side and told the press they were working late on an art book. She landed a job writing news for WCBS-TV and was last known as a producer of its early morning news program.
