PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius has been found guilty of culpable homicide in last year's Valentine's Day shooting death of his girlfriend.

DUBLIN (AP) — He was the divisive Protestant firebrand who devoted his life to thwarting compromise with Catholics in Northern Ireland, only to become a pivotal peacemaker in his twilight years.

But in 2007, he stunned the world by delivering the province's first stable unity government between its British Protestants and its Irish Catholics.
