Messages pour in for Babe Ruth as he battles illness, the famed King of Swat remains a symbol of resilience.

A 9-year-old Syracuse boy, Francis Wheeler, earned a bronze medal from the American Humane Society for rescuing a dog. The act, notable as a child saving a canine, highlights uncommon heroism by youths.

They deny Communist ties while recalling Silvermaster connections, recount visits to a cellar alleged to house a photo lab, and their appeals to high officials over a Soviet spy controversy.
