BORN. To Lady Annabel Goldsmith, 46, London socialite, and Sir James (Jimmy) Goldsmith, 47, British food and publishing magnate: a son, their third child (the couple had a son and daughter before they were married in 1978, and each has three children by previous marriages); in London. Name: Benjamin James.

BORN. To John Ehrlichman, 55, domestic affairs chief during the Nixon Administration and convicted Watergate conspirator-turned-novelist (The Company, The Whole Truth), and Interior Designer Christine McLaurine, 32, his wife of two years: a son, their first child (she has a son by a previous marriage, he has five grown children by his first marriage, which ended in 1978 after 29 years); in Santa Fe, N. Mex.

DIED. Victor Galindez, 31, World Boxing Association light-heavyweight champion between 1974 and 1979; of injuries received during an auto race, when a racing car spun out of control and hit him and another driver (who was also killed), as the two were leaving their disabled vehicle; in 25 de Mayo, Argentina. A ferocious fighter who successfully defended his title ten times, the Argentine-born Galindez took up auto racing earlier this year after suffering two successive defeats in the ring and going into retirement.

DIED. Virgil Fox, 68, flamboyant organist whose technical mastery and theatrical flair attracted millions to the instrument; of cancer; in West Palm Beach, Fla. The son of an Illinois harmonica player and theater owner, Fox was organist at Manhattan's Riverside Church for 19 years and was invited to play virtually all the world's great church organs, but he was best known for his more than 30 recordings and his freewheeling concert appearances, at which he favored iridescent jack ets, rhinestone-studded shoes and a full-length, crimson-lined cape. After he began wooing a new generation of listeners in the 1970s by touring the country with a rock-style light show and a 2,700-watt electronic amplification system, he told an interviewer: "My more conservative colleagues regard me as an infidel. They say I'm a showman, and I'm proud to be one."

DIED. Marcello Caetano, 74, Prime Minister of Portugal for six years before being ousted by a military coup in 1974; of a heart attack; in Rio de Janeiro. Appointed Prime Minister in 1968, when longtime Dictator Antonio de Oliveira Salazar was incapacitated by a stroke, Caetano made some abortive moves toward liberalization and tried vainly to preserve Portugal's eroding colonial empire by continuing costly wars hi Mozambique and Angola before his dismissal by the junta of General Antonio de Spinola.
