Gellhorn's dispatches, first filed during the Spanish Civil War and continuing through World War II and Vietnam, focused on the ordinary and powerless.

Now, some 85 years on, the crossword is a daily institution many of us cannot live without...

One of the men was also convicted of reckless driving during the May 1997 incident. They face up to a year in jail on each count (sentencing is expected next month). Shriver testified Monday that she felt like a "caged animal" when the two photographers surrounded her car and that she became "terrified" after losing sight of her young son Patrick...
