Aguilera: New album will be a ‘rebirth’ CHRISTINA AGUILERA IS comparing her upcoming album to a “rebirth.” With more than a decade in the music business behind her, the album will be a culmination Aguilera of “everything I’ve experienced up until this point,” the 31-year-old pop star said in a recent interview. “I’ve been through a lot

since the release of my last album, being on [‘The Voice’], having had a divorce,” she said. “This is all sort of a free rebirth for me.” Aguilera and Jordan Bratman were married for five years before she filed for divorce in 2010. They have a 4-year-old son, Max.

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS PENINSULA POLL

By The Associated Press

MALCOLM BROWNE, 81, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer who took the burning monk photo that became one of the first iconic news photos of the Vietnam War, died Monday at a New Hampshire hospital. Mr. Browne was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2000 and spent his last years using a Mr. Browne wheelchair in 2012 to get around. He was rushed to the hospital Monday night after experiencing difficulty breathing, said his wife, Le Lieu Browne, who lives in Thetford, Vt. In a 1998 interview, he recalled that phone calls went out from Saigon’s XaLoi Buddhist pagoda to chosen members of the foreign news corps. The message: Be at a certain location tomorrow for a “very important” happening. The next morning, June 11, 1963, an elderly monk named Thich Quang Duc, clad in a brown robe and sandals, assumed the lotus position on a cushion in a blocked-off street intersection. Aides drenched him with aviation fuel, and the monk calmly lit a match and set himself ablaze. Of the foreign journalists who had been alerted to the shocking political protest against South Vietnam’s U.S.-supported government, only Mr. Browne of The Associated Press showed up. The photos he took appeared on front pages around the globe and sent shudders all the way to the White House, prompting President John F. Kennedy to order a re-evaluation of his administration’s Vietnam policy. In the interview, Mr. Browne said that that was the beginning of the rebellion, which led to

U.S.-backed South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem being overthrown and murdered, along with his brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu, the national security chief. Mr. Browne spent most of his journalism career at The New York Times, where he put in 30 years of his four decades as a journalist, much of it in war zones. By his own account, Mr. Browne survived being shot down three times in combat aircraft, was expelled from half a dozen countries and was put on a “death list” in Saigon.

_________ ROGER D. FISHER, 90, a Harvard law professor who was a co-author of the 1981 best-seller Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In and whose expertise in resolving conflicts led to a role in drafting the Camp David accords between Egypt and Israel and in ending apartheid in South Africa, died Saturday in Hanover, N.H.

The cause was complications of dementia, his son Elliott said. Over his career, Professor Fisher eagerly brought his optimistic can-do brand of problem solving to a broad array of conflicts across the globe, from the hostage crisis in Iran to the civil war in El Salvador. His emphasis was always on addressing the mutual interests of the disputing parties instead of what separated them. As he would tell his students, “Peace is not a piece of paper but a way of dealing with conflict when it arises.” His upbeat approach to some of the world’s most intractable problems led some critics to assert that he was unrealistic. But Bruce M. Patton, who wrote Getting to Yes with Professor Fisher, said Professor Fisher recognized and relished the “complexity and irrationality” of the situations he addressed.

1937 (75 years ago) The Olympic Mountain expedition of the Trail Riders of the Wilderness, numbering approximately 20 people, was on its way into the heart of the Olympics today from the Quinault River country by pack train. Olson and Voorhies, packers, assembled a force of 35 horses for the expedition. Jack Schwartz, wildlife expert for the U.S. Forest Service, and G.H. Hopper, engineer for the National Park Service, are accompanying the party.

1962 (50 years ago) A National Park Service trainee from Berkeley, Calif., plunged to his death in a fall on Storm King Mountain above Lake Crescent. Kenneth Yamauchi,

assigned to the park by the design and construction department at National Park Service offices in San Francisco, was hiking with two other trainees on Storm King when they became separated. They notified authorities, who were prevented from searching because of nightfall. The rescue party found Yamauchi’s body the next morning. He apparently got off the main trail and slipped off a ledge, plunging 80 feet into an area covered with broken rock.

TODAY IS WEDNESDAY, Aug. 29, the 242nd day of 2012. There are 124 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: ■ On Aug. 29, 1952, 4’33” (“Four Minutes, Thirty-three Seconds”), a three-movement composition by avant-garde composer John Cage, had its premiere in Woodstock, N.Y., as pianist David Tudor sat at a piano and, for a total of four minutes and 33 seconds, played . . . nothing. According to Cage, the “music” consisted of the setting’s background noises, including the sounds of the increasingly restive audience. On this date: ■ In 1533, the last Incan King

of Peru, Atahualpa, was executed on orders of Spanish conqueror Francisco Pizarro. ■ In 1862, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing began operations at the United States Treasury. ■ In 1943, responding to a clampdown by Nazi occupiers, Denmark managed to scuttle most of its naval ships. ■ In 1944, 15,000 American troops marched down the Champs Elysees in Paris as the French capital continued to celebrate its liberation from the Nazis. ■ In 1957, the Senate gave final congressional approval to a Civil Rights Act after South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond (then a

Democrat) ended a filibuster that had lasted 24 hours. ■ In 1958, pop superstar Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Ind. ■ In 1962, Malvin R. Goode began covering the United Nations for ABC-TV, becoming network television’s first black reporter. ■ In 1972, swimmer Mark Spitz of the United States won the third of his seven gold medals at the Munich Olympics, finishing first in the 200-meter freestyle. ■ In 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast near Buras, La., bringing floods that devastated New Orleans. More than 1,800 people in the region died. ■ Ten years ago: A judge in

Norwalk, Conn., sentenced Michael Skakel to 20 years to life in prison for bludgeoning his teenage neighbor, Martha Moxley, with a golf club in 1975 after hearing the Kennedy cousin tearfully proclaim his innocence. ■ Five years ago: Fellow Republicans called on Idaho Sen. Larry Craig to resign, and party leaders pushed him from senior committee posts as fallout continued over his arrest at a Minneapolis airport restroom and guilty plea to disorderly conduct. ■ One year ago: In a sign Moammar Gadhafi had lost his grip on his country, his wife and three of his children fled Libya to neighboring Algeria.
