Cannes crime: Jewelry taken in 2nd heist THIEVES OUTSMARTED 80 security guards in an exclusive French Riviera hotel and made off with a necklace that creators say is worth a staggering 2 million euros ($2.6 million) in the second such jewelry heist during this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The De Grisogono jewelry house said Thursday that the necklace was stolen after a party for festival attendees at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on Tuesday night. In a statement, it said the theft occurred “despite the large security measures set in place: over 80 security guards plus police.” A police official who spoke on condition of anonymity said Thursday that the “high-value” necklace was stolen overnight from the luxurious resort town of Cap d’Antibes. Last week, thieves stole about $1 million worth of jewels after ripping a safe from the wall of a hotel room in Cannes. The jewelry was taken from the Novotel room of an

WAYNE F. MILLER, 94, a photographer who created a groundbreaking series of portraits chronicling the lives of black Americans in Chicago after serving with an elite Navy unit that produced some of the most indelible combat images of World War II, died Wednesday. Mr. Miller also was known for his work as a curator on an international photojournalism exhi- Mr. Miller bition called “The Family of Man” and for contributing the photos to Dr. Benjamin Spock’s A Baby’s First Year. He had lived in Orinda, Calif., for six decades and become ill only in the last weeks of his life, his granddaughter Inga Miller said. Born in Chicago, Mr. Miller trained for a career in banking but became a photographer when famed fashion photographer Edward Steichen picked him to be part of the military unit assigned to document the war. While assigned to the Pacific theater, he took some of the first pictures of the atomic bomb-devastated Hiroshima. His best-known wartime photograph shows a wounded pilot being pulled from a downed

fighter plane. Mr. Miller had been scheduled to be aboard the plane before it was shot down, and the photographer who took his place was killed, according to Inga Miller. After returning home to Chicago, Mr. Miller spent two years in the late 1940s on the city’s south side capturing the experiences of black residents, many of whom had moved north during the war in search of jobs and the promise of civil rights. The originals from his “The Way of the Northern Negro” series are now held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum and the Smithsonian Institution.
_________ LEONARD MARSH, 80, the co-founder of the Snapple beverage brand, has died. Snapple was founded in New York as Unadulterated Food Products in 1972, selling natural fruit juices to health food stores. Mr. Marsh started the business with his brotherin-law, Hyman Golden, and his childhood friend Arnold Greenberg. The now wellknown brand name didn’t appear until 1980. Mr. Marsh was a window washer when he launched the business and ultimately served as Snap-
ple’s CEO for many years. The Quaker Oats Co. bought Snapple in 1994 for $1.7 billion, and Mr. Marsh stayed on for some time after the acquisition.
