Deaths of note from around the world:

Sir Rex Hunt, 86: British governor of the Falkland Islands in the south Atlantic at the time of the Argentine invasion in 1982, he was praised by the British government for his “courage and dignity” during the invasion and brief ensuing war during which British forces reclaimed the islands. Hunt was captured by Argentine forces during the invasion and expelled to Uruguay. He returned to serve as governor until 1985. His death was announced by the British government. No cause was given.

Susan Jeffers, 74: A psychologist, Jeffers wrote 18 self-help books, the first of which — “Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway” — became an international best-seller in 1987. Jeffers’ thesis in most of her books was that pressing ahead was the only way to erase fear. She died Oct. 27 of cancer at her home in Santa Monica, Calif.
