The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions. As your honestly local news source, we serve our readers first. Find us on these platforms or reach out to our newsroom at news@ gainesvilletimes.com or 770-718-3435. Kirk Douglas, the intense, muscular actor with the dimpled chin who starred in “Spartacus,” “Lust for Life” and dozens of other films, helped fatally weaken the blacklist against suspected Communists and reigned for decades as a Hollywood maverick and patriarch, died Wednes day, his family said. He was 103. “To the world, he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitar ian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard for all of us to aspire to,” his son Michael said in a statement on his Instagram account. Kirk Douglas’ death was first reported by People magazine. His granite-like strength and underly ing vulnerability made the son of illiter ate Russian immigrants one of the top stars of the 20th century. He appeared in more than 80 films, in roles ranging from Doc Holliday in “Gunfight at the O.K. Corral” to Vincent van Gogh in “Lust for Life.” He worked with some of Hollywood’s greatest directors, from Vincente Min nelli and Billy Wilder to Stanley Kubrick and Elia Kazan. His career began at the peak of the studios’ power, more than 70 years ago, and ended in a more diverse, decentralized era that he helped bring about. Always competitive, including with his own family, Douglas never received an Academy Award for an individual film, despite being nominated three times — for “Champion,” “The Bad and the Beau tiful” and “Lust for Life.” But in 1996, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded him an honorary Oscar. His other awards included a Presidential Medal of Free dom and a lifetime achievement award from the American Film Institute. He was a category unto himself, a force for change and symbol of endurance. In his latter years, he was a final link to a so-called “Golden Age,” a man nearly as old as the industry itself. In his youth, he represented a new kind of performer, more independent and adventurous than Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy and other giants of the studio era of the 1930s and 1940s, and more willing to speak his mind. Reaching stardom after World War II, he was as likely to play cads (the movie producer in “Bad and the Beautiful,” the journalist in “Ace in the Hole”) as he was suited to play heroes, as alert to the business as he was at home before the camera. He started his own production company in 1955, when many actors still depended on the studios, and directed some of his later films. A born fighter, Douglas was especially proud of his role in the the downfall of Hollywood’s blacklist, which halted and ruined the careers of writers suspected of pro-Communist activity or sympathies. By the end of the ‘50s, the use of banned writers was widely known within the industry, but not to the general public.

SINGLE COPY The Times is available at retail stores, newspaper racks and at The Times for $1.00 Wed.-Sat. and $2.00 on Sun. ARIES (March 21 -April 19). Can love that’s not put in motion really be love? Yes. What’s happening is internal — thoughts and consider ations, ideas and intentions all churning around in a stew of potential that could someday be turned into love as a verb. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Helping feels good to you, serving feels comfortable, as sisting feels right. But if you don’t feel good if you’re not doing those things, this indi cates a problem. Make sure you’re taking turns, serving and being served. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can make a difference in someone’s life just by talking about what you know and love. The passion you feel is tangible. Your giddiness is the rising tide that carries all ships. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s not that you need to network or want to be more popular. Such things have little to do with your friendliness. You’re genuinely curious about people, and they will return the interest today. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When what you’re selling makes sense to people, and they happen to also want it very badly, the sale is merely a transaction: You provide it; they buy it, no show, no influ ence, no convincing involved. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don’t let anyone waste your time with catastrophizing a noncatastrophe. Unless there’s actually a tornado involved, the best approach is being calm and reasonable with the intent to enjoy, help or improve. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Not everything you do takes energy. Some things give energy. With the right sort of tasks on the list, you can schedule yourself densely and be massively productive, gaining vitality as you go. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Navigating values can be tricky. It helps to have an or ganizing principle to keep you aligned. This question serves well: What would happen if everyone were doing it the way you’re doing it? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Other people’s prefer ences matter, but how much? That is the question of the day. You’ll think about your loved ones when you’re not together, though you’ll resist or deny their ability to control from a distance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Stay playful. Keep everything loose, creative and flowing in a productive direction. If you feel yourself getting too serious, then leave the scene for a few minutes to do some thing as close to fun as you can find. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18) That person who can sub tly and consistently nudge you in the right direction is invaluable in your life. A few degrees off of the trajectory, over time, totally changes the journey and drastically alters the destination. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If it’s been a long while and you’re still not achieving your goal, consider that it might be the wrong aim. Get out into the world with the intent of finding something new to want. Better to wander than to go stale.
