DIED. Laurence Marshall, 91, electronics entrepreneur who founded the Raytheon Co. in 1922 and built it into a diversified company that played an important role in the development of radar, the Hawk missile and the microwave oven; in Cambridge, Mass.

A hawk during the Vietnam War (he condoned the invasion of Cambodia and suggested President Nixon should receive the Nobel Peace Prize), he has consistently voted against labor, for nuclear power, and for increases in military spending.
