DIED. VINCENT (CHIN) GIGANTE, 77, Mafia boss who feigned mental illness for decades to avoid jail; in prison in Springfield, Mo., on Dec. 19.

Doctors in France reported that they took a triangular patch of facial tissue containing the nose, lips and chin of a brain-dead donor and transplanted them onto a 38-year-old mother of two who had been severely mauled by a dog last...
...plays, with a mixture of poise and tomboyish charm, the quintessential Austen heroine who, while refusing to submit to social pressures, finds she is inexplicably falling in love. Whether she is trudging through the English countryside and carelessly soiling her petticoats, or defiantly contesting Mr. Darcy with her perfect chin held high, Knightley exudes the feisty independence and beauty that has made Elizabeth Bennett the favorite female character in English literature.
