Plane down
Germanwings said Flight 9525 crashed Tuesday with 150 people on board in the south of France, authorities said.

Preventive surgery
Actress Angelina Jolie has revealed that she had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed preventively a week ago due to a family history of ovarian cancer and her having a gene mutation that puts her at high risk for the disease. The 39-year-old film star and director explains how she made the decision.
All-Pro abuse
The Dallas Cowboys are under fire for signing Greg Hardy to a contract. The All-Pro lineman was put on trial last year on domestic assault-related charges.

One-man race

Ted Cruz will eventually have some company in the 2016 race. The question of when the others will announce may be related to what these soon-to-be candidates do in their day jobs.
Intel gap?
Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) -- Yemen's branch -- was behind the last three attempts to bomb U.S. airliners. Their sophistication and capabilities have led former deputy CIA chief Mike Morell to label them as the biggest terror threat to the U.S. Now, with Yemen spiraling toward civil war and the U.S. pulling out troops, what does that mean for intelligence gathering?
Flight risk
Robert Durst remains in a mental health unit at a Louisiana correctional center. In a hearing yesterday, lawyers unveiled new evidence in his bizarre case. The eccentric millionaire is awaiting extradition to California, where he's accused of murdering a friend. Here are the prosecutor's new claims.
Cuba cruise?
Now that the U.S. has begun steps to normalize relations with Cuba, a lot of American industries have been working on their plans to enter -- or reenter -- that market. And one sector ready to sail into those new economic waters is the multibillion-dollar cruise ship industry.
