Born. To Robert Goulet, 31, the all-mail Lancelot in Broadway's Carnelot currently swoon-crooning on the nightclub circuit; and Carol Lawrence, 30, West Side Story's Maria: their first child, a son; in Manhattan.

Born. To Felisberto Mutangua, 36, African vegetable farmer, and Clara Bulane Mutangua, 32: quintuplets, four boys and a girl (weights ranging from 2 Ibs. 12 oz. to 3 Ibs. 5 oz.), doubling the size of their brood; in Inhambane, Mozambique. Four days after birth the babies lived through an 11-hour, 212-mile ambulance ride along bumpy roads to a hospital in Lourenco Marques, thus vastly improving their chance to become history's fifth set of quints to survive.

Married. Elke Sommer, 24, Germany's blonde, bubbly nomination as the next Marilyn Monroe, best displayed as a sometime nudist in Peter Sellers' A Shot in the Dark; and Joe Hyams, 40, freelance writer, onetime movieland columnist for the New York Herald Tribune; he for the second time; in a civil ceremony in Las Vegas.

Married. George Pember Darwin, 36, researcher for a London electronics company, great-grandson of Evolutionist Charles Darwin; and Angela Huxley, 24, niece of the late Author Aldous and great-granddaughter of Biologist Thomas Huxley, foremost champion of Darwin's The Origin of Species; in an Anglican ceremony; in London.

Divorced. By Ethel Merman, 55, klaxon-voiced musicomedienne (Gypsy): Ernest Borgnine, 47, dough-faced TV and screen star (McHale's Navy, Marty), her fourth husband, whom she married June 27 declaring "I've never been in love, really in love, before"; on grounds of extreme mental cruelty (she complained that Ernie refused to fire his 60-year-old maid, saying, "If you don't like my mode of living, you can lump it"); in Santa Monica.

Died. Donald Culross Peattie, 66, poet, author and naturalist, who in more than 25 lyrical books (An Almanac for Moderns, A Cup of Sky) gave new voice to Thoreau's idea that man reaches spiritual fulfillment only through contact with nature, saying that "it touches a man that his blood is sea water and his tears are salt, and he who goes in no consciousness of these facts is without a home or any contact with reality"; of a heart attack; in Santa Barbara, Calif.

Died. Henri Pigozzi, 66, founder and recently retired chairman of France's Simca, an Italian-born onetime Fiat salesman who set up his own factory in France in 1934, went on to become the enfant terrible of the French auto industry by taking over third place (behind Renault and Citroen) with his bargain-priced ($1,200) Aronde sedan, by forbidding his workers to join the national unions, and by merging with Ford's French subsidiary in 1954 and subsequently selling the controlling interest to Chrysler in 1963; of a heart attack; in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France.

Died. John Tasker Howard, 73, historian and sympathetic critic of home grown music (Our American Music), whose biography, Stephen Foster, America's Troubadour, mined such nuggets as the fact that the No. 1 composer of fireside favorites got only $15 for Swanee River, a name he picked from an atlas after making a false start with "way down upon de Pedee ribber"; in West Orange, NJ.

Died. Roy Howard, 81, editorial and financial genius behind Scripps-Howard's 17 newspapers; of a heart attack; in Manhattan (see PRESS).
