Evans, the charismatic publisher, author and muckraker, has died at 92. His wife, fellow author-publisher Tina Brown, said he died of congestive heart failure, it was reported on Thursday, Sept. 24, 2020. He was a bold-faced name for decades, from exposing wrongdoing in 1960s London, to publishing such 1990s best-sellers as Joe Klein’s “Primary Colors.” (PA via AP, File)

FILE - In this Saturday, June 7, 2014 file photo US Secretary of State John Kerry and World War II photographer Tony Vaccaro, right, attend the inauguration of the Tony Vaccaro Square, in front of the Saint-Briac-sur-Mer city hall, western France. Vaccaro, 97, was thrown into WWII with the 83rd Infantry division which fought, like Charles Shay, in Normandy, and then came to Schmetz's doorstep for the Battle of the Bulge. On top of his military gear, he also carried a camera, and became a fashion and celebrity photographer after the war. COVID-19 caught up with him last month. Like everything bad life threw at him, he shook it off, attributing his survival to plain "fortune." (AP Photo/ Jean Sebastien Evrard, Pool)
