His death was announced in a statement by his consulting firm. Few diplomats have been both celebrated and reviled with such passion as Mr. Kissinger. At a critical moment in American history and diplomacy, he was second in power only to President Richard M. Nixon. He joined the Nixon White House in January 1969 as national security adviser and, after his appointment as secretary of state in 1973, kept both titles, a rarity. When Nixon resigned, he stayed on under President Gerald R. Ford.

In the far corner stood Ravenna Wilson, owner of The Native Bread and Pastry in East Williamsburg. Beside her was Justin DeLeon of Apollonia’s Pizzeria on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, who flew in for Mr. Bellucci’s wake. At the center of the room stood Drew Nieporent, whose list of New York restaurants includes Nobu and Tribeca Grill. Into this assemblage walked Paul Giannone, founder of Paulie Gee’s, a pizza parlor in Greenpoint with locations from Baltimore to Chicago.

REUTERS/James AkenaBIDI BIDI, Uganda, April 6 (Reuters) - Watering the neat lines of green salad leaves outside her thatched home, Susan Konga, a South Sudanese woman living in a refugee camp in northern Uganda, is preparing her kitchen garden for the next harvest. Global crises like the war in Ukraine, the earthquake in Turkey and the drought in East Africa, mean there's less food aid for people like Konga. After six years in Uganda, Konga, a single mother, must now rely entirely on the maize, cassava and salad leaves grown in her small vegetable patch. "Donors are having to make very difficult decisions because the needs are enormous globally," said Marcus Prior, country director at WFP Uganda.

The landmark case was the first to test whether the NCAA could be held liable for traumatic brain injuries suffered by players, lawyers said. “The NCAA bore no responsibility for Mr. Gee’s tragic death, and furthermore, the case was not supported by medical science linking Mr. Gee’s death to his college football career,” Bearby said. Alana Gee’s lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Alana Gee's lawyers said his substance abuse and health problems stemmed from CTE. Tests of Gee's brain tissue following his death concluded that he suffered from CTE and that this “likely contributed” to his cognitive decline, according to Alana Gee's November 2020 lawsuit.
