Born. To Karim Aga Khan, 33, Imam of 20 million Ismaili Moslems in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, and the Begum Aga Khan, 30, the former Sarah Croker Poole, a onetime British fashion model: their first child, a girl; in Geneva, Switzerland. Name: Zahra.

Died. Erich Maria Remarque, 72, German-born novelist whose antiwar masterwork, All Quiet on the Western Front, sold more than 8,000,000 copies in 45 languages after its publication in 1929; in Locarno, Switzerland. A classic of pacifism, All Quiet focused on the tragic destiny of the defeated German soldier of World War I. The best of his later novels (Arch of Triumph, The Road Back, The Night in Lisbon) dealt with war-wasted human remnants moving across a charred European landscape. Remarque, whose second wife was Screen Actress Paulette Goddard, once said that "hatred is not a good medium for one's lifework"; his own medium as a writer was pity and terror, conveyed in compelling prose and an exact sense of both person and place.
