Legendary TV news anchor Walter Cronkite dies
ADVERTISEMENT
NEW YORK - Former CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite, whose authoritative delivery of news events from the John F. Kennedy assassination to the Apollo moon landing and Vietnam War, made him "the most trusted man in America," died on Friday at age 92. Cronkite died in New York after an illness, CBS said. His family issued a statement weeks ago that he had been suffering for some years with cerebrovascular disease and was not expected to recuperate.
Royal Ballet dancer retiring as Cuba visit ends
HAVANA - As Britain's Royal Ballet wrapped up a five-day stay in Cuba on Saturday, it was not just the end of a tour, but the end of a career for dancer Alexandra Ansanelli. The 28-year-old American who joined the New York City Ballet at age 15, then made the leap to the Royal Ballet in London in 2006, said she was suffering ballet burnout after so many years of performing and was ready to give up one of the top jobs in the world of dance.

Jackson kids custody hearing delayed again
LOS ANGELES - A court hearing over who will raise Michael Jackson's three children was postponed again on Friday in an apparent bid to settle the issue behind closed doors.

Saudi film festival cancelled in setback for reformers
RIYADH - Saudi Arabia's only film festival has been canceled, dealing a blow to reformist hopes of an easing of clerical control over culture that had been raised by the low-key return of cinemas in December. In a country where movie theatres had been banned for almost three decades, the Jeddah Film Festival presents aspiring Saudi film makers and actors with a rare opportunity to mingle with more experienced peers from other countries.
One killed in tent collapse at Slovak music festival

Movie studios try to harness "Twitter effect"
LOS ANGELES - Audiences are voicing snap judgments on movies faster and to more people than ever before on Twitter, and their ability to create a box office hit or a flop is forcing major studios to revamp marketing campaigns. The stakes are especially high this summer season when big budget movies like "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," which opened on Wednesday, play to a core audience of young, plugged-in moviegoers.
