In 1971, a hijacker calling himself “Dan Cooper” (but who be came popularly known as “D.B. Cooper”) parachuted from a Northwest Orient Airlines 727 over the Pacific Northwest after receiving $200,000 in ransom; his fate remains unknown. In 1991, rock singer Freddie Mercury died in London at age 45 of AIDS-related pneumonia.

Authorities haven’t given a cause. The Porter, Goodwin and Combs families say in a statement Friday that “God broke the mold when he made Kim, there was truly no other woman like her.” Porter was the mother of three of Combs’ children.

Georgia rapper Jeezy helps family whose home burned A rapper from Georgia served Thanksgiv ing dinner to a Marietta family who lost their home to a fire and then he promised to help them with housing. WSB-TV reports Jeezy, whose real name is Jay Jenkins, offered to pay the Natt family’s hotel bill for the rest of the year. Victoria Natt says her family woke up one night last week to their home covered in flames. She says she escaped unharmed along with her husband, Tavares Natt, and their 14 children. Natt says her family is staying in a hotel until they can find another home. Jeezy catered Thanksgiving dinner at a Natt family member’s house and said his actions were “what Atlanta’s all about.” A crowdfunding website says more than $27,000 has been raised to help the family. Eric Bana brings ‘Dirty John’ to TV with Connie Britton Eric Bana is bringing the popular true crime podcast “Dirty John” to TV with a weekly series on Bravo. Bana plays John Meehan and Connie Britton plays Debra Newell, a couple in California who met online and fell in love. John claimed to be a doctor, just back from volunteering his services for Doctors With out Borders in Iraq. Newell, who had already been married multiple times and had grown children, thought John was the man she had always been looking for. Her kids, however, imme diately didn’t trust him. As they make their concerns known, John succeeded in driv ing a wedge through Debra’s family. A Los Angeles Times reporter, Christo pher Goffard, covered the story and turned it into a wildly successful, addictive pod cast. Bana didn’t tune in until he heard of the TV project. “I downloaded and listened to all six very quickly and loved it,” he said. “There were parts that I couldn’t quite believe really happened.” Police: Bullet-ridden NYPD car is stolen movie prop Philadelphia police say they were star tled to spot a bullet-ridden New York City police cruiser with a broken windshield on a city expressway early Thanksgiving morning. Police say they tried to stop the car only to have the driver flee. They say the cruiser was later found abandoned and proved to be a stolen prop from a movie being shot in Philadelphia. The car had been used for the police drama, “17 Bridges,” which stars Black Panther’s Chadwick Boseman and Sienna Miller. Filming’s been under way in the area since September. Police say the car was stolen just west of Philadelphia, in Chester County. They said no arrests had been made as of Friday afternoon.

SINGLE COPY The Times is available at retail stores, newspaper racks and at The Times for $1.00 Mon.-Sat. and $2.00 on Sun. ARIES (March 21 -April 19). You can love like a child, a parent, a concerned citizen, an adoles cent. None of these is right or wrong, but it’s somehow help ful to be aware of what charac terization you’re inside. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your exciting life is too involving to let trivial matters interrupt the flow. Even so, small pleasures aren’t trivial matters. The dis tinction will be key today. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Close relationships sometimes become close by accident. But they can only stay close through deliber ate decisions to do so. Good relationships involve honoring the commitment and choosing the work, time and again. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A person who doesn’t seem to be paying attention is actually paying quite a lot of attention, just not to the thing you’d prefer. Figure out where the attention is going. Is this a loop of self-absorption? If so, run, don’t walk, away. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Feelings will burble up, asking to be tended to, however inconve nient that may seem. Be brave. Take the emotional plunge. See what’s there. Yes, a little pain goes with it, but it’s over quickly. And then the healing begins. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Good news for all Virgos: Plan ning leads to happiness. And today you’re in just the mood to set your sites on the future, plunk down cash and dream through the days that lead up to the fun. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). If you were a cartoon character with an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other, your angel would get a lot more screen time today. Removing tempta tion from your field of vision gives the devil little to talk about. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are a great number of people who think along similar lines as you, enjoy the same music, love the same food. They just don’t happen to be in your immediate family. Branch out to the other seven and a half billion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Due to life’s interruptions and temporary complications, there are personal rituals that have fallen to the wayside. Consider bringing them back. You now have the space to commit. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Maybe it sounds flippant, but the phrase “who cares?” can also be liberating. Given that you’re not in charge of the entire world, it will feel right to limit your caring to the things you actually care about. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll have the choice of whether to purchase a thing or an event. While material pos sessions age and decay, mem ories age and solidify under the strong varnish of nostalgia. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Put learning to learn on the agenda. Also, thinking about thinking belongs there. If you know how to think about a thing, the action that follows will be an organic extension.
