William Reid, 79, bomber pilot

The Associated Press

LONDON - William Reid, a World War II bomber pilot whose determination to reach his target despite serious wounds and a badly damaged plane earned him Britain's highest military honor, has died. He was 79.
Reid died Nov. 28 at his home in Crieff, Scotland, his family said.

Reid was captain of a Royal Air Force Lancaster bomber that set out for Duesseldorf, Germany on Nov. 3, 1943.

Attacked by a German fighter over the Netherlands, the plane was badly damaged and Reid wounded in the head, shoulders and hands. He flew on, but a second German attack killed the Lancaster's navigator, fatally wounded the radio operator and knocked out the oxygen supply. Reid also suffered further wounds, but flew on for 50 minutes and dropped his bombs on their target.Dizzy from loss of blood and the bitter cold - the windshield had been shattered - Reid managed to fly the crippled plane back to England. Reid was awarded the Victoria Cross for the mission.

Reid recovered from his wounds and went on to fly missions over France. In July 1944, his plane was hit by a bomb dropped by another Lancaster during an attack. Reid ejected and was captured by the Germans. He ended the war at Luckenwalde prison camp. Dated: Monday, 10-Dec-2001

Johnny Stearns, television pioneer
By DENNIS MCLELLAN
Los Angeles Times

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - Johnny Stearns, who wrote the popular "Mary Kay and Johnny" show during its 2 1/2-year run and went on to a career as a television producer, director and host, died Wednesday at a Newport Beach, Calif., hospital of complications from a fall. He was 85.
Before Lucy and Desi, George and Gracie, and Ozzie and Harriet, there was Mary Kay and Johnny.

In the fall of 1947, Johnny and Mary Kay Stearns made TV history playing "themselves" as young New York newlyweds in a pioneering television situation comedy, "Mary Kay and Johnny."

The weekly 15-minute show was broadcast live from New York, beginning on the old DuMont Network and later moving to NBC and CBS. The character of Johnny, the more serious of the pair, was a banker; and Mary Kay was his homemaker wife, who was prone to getting into odd predicaments.

Stearns produced Steve Allen's precursor to "The Tonight Show" on WNBC-TV in New York and produced and directed "The Arthur Murray Dance Party" on NBC.

In 1961, after moving to Los Angeles, he began a long-running career in public affairs television as producer and host of "Agriculture U.S.A." on NBC. Later known as "AG-USA," it ran on NBC stations until 1990 and continues in syndication.

After 40 years and 1,100 episodes, Stearns recorded a voice-over for the final episode of the show only days before he died.

Born in Billerica, Mass., in 1916, Stearns began acting at age 14.

He made his Broadway debut in "Night Music" with the Group Theater and performed in "One Touch of Venus" with Mary Martin, "On the Town" and "Are You With It."

It was during this period that he met Mary Kay Jones, whom he married in 1946.

In addition to his wife, Stearns is survived by sons Christopher Jonathan; daughter Melinda; and one grandson.

David Astor, 89, editor, activist
By AUDREY WOODS
The Associated Press

LONDON - David Astor, editor of Britain's respected Observer newspaper for 27 years and a dedicated anti-apartheid campaigner for decades, has died. He was 89.
Astor died in his sleep Friday, the newspaper said Sunday. It did not give the cause of death.

Nelson Mandela, the former South African president, described Astor as "a loyal friend."

"Under him, the Observer supported the African National Congress from the early years of apartheid, when we most needed it and when most newspapers ignored it," Mandela said Saturday.

"I will always remember the generosity and loyalty of David, both as a friend and supporter of our movement and South African Democracy," Mandela said.

A Buckingham Palace official said Queen Elizabeth II was "deeply saddened" at the news of Astor's death.

In its obituary, The Daily Telegraph said Astor "proved himself one of the outstanding editors of the post-war period, transforming his family's newspaper ... from a staid organ of the Establishment into the leading forum of English liberalism."

He is survived by his second wife, Bridget, whom he married in 1952, and their two sons and three daughters, as well as the daughter from his first marriage.
