DIED.Oriana Fallaci, 77, fearsome, glamorous Italian journalist renowned during the 1960s and '70s for her war reporting and aggressive, revealing interviews with world leaders like Yasser Arafat, Golda Meir and Ayatullah Khomeini, whom she famously asked, "How do you swim in a chador?"; in Florence. Of her passion for covering combat, Fallaci said, "Nothing reveals man the way war does."

...RATHER may have been replaced at CBS Evening News by Katie Couric, but he hasn't signed off. Next month the veteran journalist will again take an anchor seat, as host of the weekly news program Dan Rather Reports on HDNet, a high-definition TV network that airs in 3 million homes.

Christoph Feurstein, the journalist who conducted her television interview, says Kampusch is angry at her father for speaking on her behalf to the media; he told an interviewer that she would celebrate her captor's death. Kampusch, in fact, visited the morgue and saw her abductor before he was buried, and told the world she mourned his death...
...lifestyles of your demographic, use new mediums of communication (“talk smart”), and find local navigators who affect the decisions of others. Fournier draws his material largely from his 2004 study group at Harvard. Those who missed the chance to talk to the political journalist then will have a second opportunity tonight at 6 p.m. at the IOP Forum, where Fournier and other panelists will discuss many of the topics the book addresses. Sosnik, Dowd, and Fournier convincingly argue, through several case studies of contemporary leaders, that “Gut-Values” and authentic...
