Married. Gamble Benedict, 24, Remington typewriter heiress, whose endlessly publicized 1960 runaway marriage to onetime Chauffeur Andrei Porumbeanu was annulled last October; and Thomas Gallagher, 32, former New York Thruway motorcycle cop, now an $11,500-a-year State Police investigator; both for the second time; in a Roman Catholic ceremony (the church does not recognize either of their first marriages); in Clinton...
