LONDON Lord Rothschild, a scientist and member of the famous
banking family linked to one of Britain's most controversial spy
scandals, died Tuesday. He was 79.
His wife said in a statement released Wednesday, "The funeral
will be entirely private. The family expects there will be a
memorial service later." She did not reveal the cause of death or
give any other details. Rothschild's secretary refused to say
whether he had been ill or where he died.
Nathaniel Mayer Victor Rothschild, the third Baron Rothschild,
belonged to the famous family of German-Jewish coin collectors who
founded a banking dynasty.
