Friday, Nov. 15, 1963

Born. To Bob Newhart, 34, button-down comedian, and Virginia Quinn Newhart, 22, onetime TV extra: their first child, a son; in Los Angeles.

Married. Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova, 26, Soviet cosmonette who on June 16 became the first woman in space; and Major Andrian Grigorievich Nikolayev, 34, third Soviet cosmonaut; in a civil ceremony at Moscow's Wedding Palace, followed by a televised reception featuring songs, dances, a sit-down dinner for 300, and Nikita Khrushchev performing as father of both bride and groom, in which role he hoisted 21 toasts to the couple (sample: "May you have radar to avoid the griefs and obstacles of life").

Married. Apollo Milton Obote, 38, Prime Minister of one-year-old Uganda; and Miria Kalule, 27, former secretary to the Ugandan U.N. delegation; in an Anglican ceremony performed by the Archbishop of Uganda in Kampala's Namirembe Cathedral, followed by a reception for 10,000 at Lugogo Stadium.

Died. Charles Floyd, 41, former FAA radar operator, who on May 20, 1958, watched his screen in helpless horror at the Washington control center as an errant Maryland National Guard T-33 crashed into a Capital Airlines Viscount, killing eleven aboard the airliner, an accident for which he was not responsible, but which plagued his thoughts thereafter; by his own hand (barbiturates); in Herndon, Va.

Died. George Theodore Baker, 62, founder in 1934 and president until his retirement in 1961 of National Airlines, an autocratic Chicagoan who flew his first plane at 16, bulled National from a small mail carrier to the nation's eighth largest line (2,311,000 passengers last year), strong enough to joust with giant Eastern Air Lines on the rich New York-Miami route, where he drummed up trade with the first cut-rate day-coach fares, packaged vacations and scored an impressive coup in 1958 by leasing Boeing 707s from Pan American, thus making National first to fly jets in domestic service; of a heart attack; on a visit to Vienna.

Died. The Most Rev. Daniel Mannix, 99, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne, a fighting prelate whose concern with Australian temporal matters led him into crusades against conscription in World War I, later into a battle with Australian Labor Party Communists, during which he supported a splinter labor party and deflected enough votes in the 1955 election to give the Robert Gordon Menzies Liberals command of Australian politics; of cerebral anemia; in Melbourne.
