AILING. EUNICE KENNEDY SHRIVER, 79, sister of John F. Kennedy, mother of NBC reporter Maria Shriver, Special Olympics founder; from a postoperative infection after the removal of a benign pancreatic tumor; in Baltimore, Md.

RECOVERING. HENRY KISSINGER, 77, Secretary of State during the Nixon and Ford administrations, political consultant, writer; from a heart attack; in New York City. Kissinger was hospitalized at the New York Weill-Cornell Medical Center. "He's doing well and is expected to be here for a few days," said a hospital spokesman.

ARRESTED. DARRYL STRAWBERRY, 38, baseball star, most recently of the New York Yankees; on charges of violating probation and using drugs while serving his sentence for a drug charge; in Tampa, Fla. Suspended from professional baseball, with a long history of arrests and drug problems, Strawberry was serving a sentence of two years of house arrest. He was charged in September with driving under the influence.

ARRESTED. RIPUDAMAN SINGH MALIK and AJAIB SINGH BAGRI, 53 and 51, suspected terrorists; in Canada, outside Vancouver, B.C. The two men are accused of plotting two bombings that occurred on June 23, 1985. One exploded on Air India Flight 182, en route from Montreal to New Delhi, killing all 329 people onboard in what is believed to be the deadliest terrorist bombing of an airplane in history; the other was apparently intended to crash an Air India plane leaving Tokyo, but it went off prematurely and killed two baggage handlers.

DIED. CHARLES REMBAR, 85, lawyer, writer; in the Bronx, N.Y. Rembar defended the publishers of Lady Chatterley's Lover, Tropic of Cancer and other controversial works against obscenity laws, most famously--and successfully--in the landmark Fanny Hill Supreme Court case of 1965. He received a George Polk Memorial Award in journalism for his book The End of Obscenity in 1969, the same year his cousin Norman Mailer also won a prize.
