Born. To Muhammad Ali (alias Cassius Clay), 26, ex-heavyweight champ, now appealing his conviction for draft-dodging, and Belinda Boyd Ali, 18: a girl, their first child; in Chicago.

Married. Remi Brooke, 19, elder daughter of Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke; and Donald Hasler, 18, an engineering student whom she met last September through mutual friends; in Martha's Vineyard, Mass. Attending the interracial wedding were Illinois Senator Charles Percy and Massachusetts Governor John Volpe.

Married. Gary Beban, 21, the thinking man's quarterback who steered the U.C.L.A. Bruins to a Rose Bowl victory in 1966, himself to a Heisman Trophy as the nation's outstanding collegiate football player last year and a reported $200,000 three-year contract with the Washington Redskins; and Kathy Hanson, 21, his college sweetheart; in Alhambra, Calif.

Divorced. Nancy Kwan, 29, won-ton-sized (34-21-34) Eurasian beauty who starred in Hollywood's The World of Suzie Wong and Flower Drum Song; and Austrian Hotel Owner Peter Pock, 28; after six years of marriage, one child; in Innsbruck.

Died. Lino Zanussi, 48, pioneer producer of Italy's modern home appliances; of injuries suffered in a plane crash; near San Sebastian, Spain. A high school dropout who took over his father's small stove business in 1946, Zanussi began expanding into other consumer lines, perceived the tastes and sales rhythm of Italians keenly enough to anticipate the postwar surge. Today, everything from refrigerators to TV sets emerges from the family-owned Industrie A. Zanussi, with an annual sales total of more than $100 million.

Died. Edward Ainsworth, 66, author and regional journalist for the Los Angeles Times, whose gentle, low-key columns provided an antidote to the image of Southern California as a giant nut-burger stand; of a heart attack; in San Diego. As "the Boswell of the Boondocks," Ainsworth ambled through small-town California in search of such interesting minutiae as "the gargantuan battle over the bougainvillea, the rose and the iris," all candidates for small (pop. 25,000) La Puente's official flower. The hibiscus, a dark horse, won.

Died. Captain W. E. Johns, 75, the portly English author who created Biggies, a World War I flying ace whose daredevil exploits and incorruptible character thrilled a worldwide audience of 20 million readers; of pulmonary thrombosis; in Hampton Court, England. Writing of swirling aerial duels between Biggies' Sopwith Camel and les boches was second nature to Johns, since he had tangled with them himself during the war, was shot down, captured and twice escaped. That stiff-upper-lip quality endured--as one government official learned during a recent inquiry of the captain. Could Biggies be given a few socialist characteristics in order to help the Labor Party? "Of course I refused," Johns snorted. "Bigles has no politics. The damned cheek!"

Died. Samuel Earl ("Wahoo Sam") Crawford, 88, baseball's turn-of-the-century Hall of Fame outfielder who set slugging records in the difficult days of Christy Mathewson, Rube Waddell and the dead ball; of a stroke; in Hollywood. "Now the game is all different," complained the Wahoo, Neb., whiz. "Then it was strategy and quick thinking, and if you didn't play with your noodle you didn't play at all." Through 19 years in both major leagues, Wahoo Sam hit enough balls that were lopsided, soaped, sanded and tobacco-stained to win league home-run honors with the Cincinnati Reds (16 in 1901) and the Detroit Tigers (seven in 1908). His total of 312 triples set a record that has yet to be broken--even Willie Mays, now in his 18th season, has only 129.
