BORN. To Jean-Claude ("Baby Doc") Duvalier, 31, portly President for Life of Haiti, and Michele Bennett Duvalier, 31: their first child, a son and heir apparent to the dictatorship set up by his grandfather Papa Doc; in Port-au-Prince. Name: Franc,ois Nicolas Jean-Claude. Weight: 7 Ibs. 12 oz.

EXPELLED. Klaus Barbie, 69, alias Klaus Altmann, the "Butcher of Lyon"; from Bolivia, to which he fled in 1951. An SS captain who was Lyon Gestapo chief from 1942 to 1944, he was sentenced to death in absentia by French courts for active complicity in killing some 11,600 French Jews and Resistance fighters. Barbie was returned to France, where he will probably be tried again, since that country abolished the death penalty in 1981.

DIED. Karen Carpenter, 32, dulcet-voiced singing half, opposite her pianist-arranger brother Richard, of the squeaky-clean Carpenters; of an apparent heart attack (she had suffered earlier from anorexia nervosa); in Downey, Calif. Since 1969, their ballads (Close to You, We've Only Just Begun) have sold 80 million records and tapes, won three Grammy Awards.

DIED. Yang Sun Nyo, 66, mother of South Korean Lightweight Boxer Kim Duk Koo, who died after a title fight with Ray ("Boom Boom") Mancini last November; by her own hand (she drank a bottle of pesticide) after becoming despondent following her son's death; in Kojin, South Korea.

DIED. Gitullio Campagnolo, 81, designer and manufacturer of the world's best bicycle parts; in Monselice, Italy. After losing a 1927 Alpine race because he could not unstick frozen wheel nuts to change a tire, Campagnolo invented the release system now widely used for removing wheels, also devised improved gearshifts and some 50 other items (but not a complete bicycle) that have made the nickname "Campy" cycledom's synonym for efficiency.

DIED. Robert Ten Broeck Stevens, 83, president of the huge, antiunion J.P Stevens textile company for much of the past half-century; in Edison, N.J. Under Stevens, the 170-year-old company became the U.S.'s second largest textile firm (1982 revenues: $2 billion), but lost its fight to bar unions in 1980, when it was cited for violating fair labor practices. Stevens' greatest personal fame came in 1954, when as Secretary of the Army he gamely defended himself for 13 days against the attacks of Joseph McCarthy in televised hearings that eventually led to the demagogic Senator's censure and downfall.
