Evelyn Lauder dies at 75
Evelyn Lauder , a member of the Estee Lauder cosmetics family who helped create the pink ribbon symbol for breast cancer awareness, has died. She was 75.
Estee Lauder Cos. spokeswoman Alexandra Trower says Lauder died Saturday at her Manhattan home of complications from nongenetic ovarian cancer.
Evelyn Lauder worked for more than 50 years for the company, holding many positions and overseeing the development of fragrances and other products.
But she is best known for helping to create the pink ribbon campaign in 1992.
Leader mistakenly arrested
Police in suburban Detroit mistakenly arrested the head of a popular Arab-American cultural center and held him overnight in jail, believing he was a man charged in a conspiracy to funnel money to Hezbollah from the sale of stolen and counterfeit goods.
Dearborn police claiming to be investigating a break-in asked Ali Hammoud for identification and arrested him outside his home Friday night, attorney Majed Moughni said.
But police had the wrong Hammoud. A man with the same name was indicted with 18 people in Detroit in 2003. That man has not been found.
