He was responsible for 19 cover stories and more than 1,200 articles in his 37-year Newsweek career.

"Jack Kroll possessed one of the liveliest, sharpest, most passionate minds in American journalism," said Newsweek chairman and editor-in-chief Richard M. Smith. "We will miss him, and our readers will miss him." Kroll graduated from the City College of New York in 1954 after spending two years in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He received a master's degree in English and comparative literature before taking a job as a copywriter.

In 1960, he joined the staff of the magazine Art News, doing some freelancing in his spare time. But it was after joining Newsweek that Kroll's work began to attract attention. He was promoted to the weekly's senior editor in charge of all cultural sections in 1964, became drama critic in 1967, and was named critic-at-large in 1975. A Newsweek special edition on "The Arts in America," directed by Kroll, won a 1974 National Magazine Award and a Page One Award from the Newspaper Guild of New York. Kroll, a passionate fan of the New York Knicks, also won a George Jean Nathan Award for dramatic criticism in 1980, an ASCAPDeems Taylor Award in 1981 for his Lennon piece, and a Page One Award for his 1982 story on Pryor.

His last cover story was a Dec. 14, 1998, piece on Nicole Kidman's Broadway debut in "The Blue Room." A memorial service was being planned, according to a statement from Newsweek. Kroll is survived by his wife, Joan Engels, a senior photo editor at Newsweek; twin children from a previous marriage, Lawrence Kroll of Irvine, and Sue Kroll of Los Angeles; and a granddaughter, Laura.

Abort iMhttdnultarxts The Associated Press CHICAGO Chicago Tribune cartoonist Jeff MacNelly, three-time Pulitzer Prize winner and creator of the daily comic strip "Shoe," died early Thursday. He was 52. He died at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore after battling lymphoma since late last year.

"Jeff was simply the most brilliant political cartoonist of the time," Tribune editor Howard A. Tyner said. "No one had an eye and a sense of humor like his. And he was as funny personally as he was in print." MacNelly, who lived in Rappahannock County, won the Pulitzer Prize for his editorial cartoons in 1972, 1978 and 1985. He won his first when he was only 24, after working at the Richmond News Leader in Virginia for just 16 months.

After more than 10 years at the News Leader, he joined the Tribune in 1982. But editorial cartoons weren't his only outlet. In 1977, MacNelly began the daily comic strip "Shoe," about a newspaper's cranky editor and its two-bit hacks, all of whom just happen to be birds. The cigar-chomping boss of the Treetops Tattler was P. Martin Shoemaker, inspired by MacNelly's former boss Jim Shumaker, now a University of North Carolina professor.

He also illustrated humorist Dave Barry's syndicated column. In an interview with AP Network News in 1987, MacNelly said he originally drew humans, "but it was terribly boring." "But a bird smoking a cigar is an interesting sort of bird. You really want to listen to him," MacNelly said. "And you've got flying stuff and things in trees. It's kind of zany on its face to have a bunch of birds walking around with clothes on." Horizon Funeral Home (Vernation renter Is one of the few family-owned funeral homes In Lee County.
