Deaths of note from around the world:

Gough Whitlam, 98: Former prime minister who introduced free university education and a national health care system in Australia — and who was also known for eclipsing President Richard Nixon’s 1971 visit to China by turning up there first. Died Tuesday in a Sydney nursing home.

Peter Daland, 93: Started his career at the University of Southern California as a part-time swim coach with a desk in a mimeograph room and rose to become one of the most celebrated names in collegiate and Olympic swimming. Died Monday in Thousand Oaks, California, of Alzheimer’s disease, USC said. He coached the U.S. women in the 1964 Olympics as they won six golds medals and the U.S. men in the 1972 Olympics as they won nine golds.
