Anne Garrels, a broadcast correspondent who was expelled from the Soviet Union, covered Central America's civil wars and brought National Public Radio listeners into the heart of Baghdad during the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, died Sept. 7 at her home in Norwalk, Conn. She was 71. Garrels' death from lung cancer was announced by NPR, where she remained an occasional contributor following her retirement from full-time reporting in 2010. 'I didn't set out to be a war correspondent,' she said in a 2003 NPR interview.
