The nation's capital now has its own quarter. The U.S. Mint on Monday released the coin featuring Washington native and jazz great Duke Ellington at his piano. It also has an inscription of the city's motto, "Justice for All." Collectors can go online or to banks to buy two-roll sets and bags of up to 1,000 quarters. D.C. Del.

Pop singer Dave Dee dies aged 65

British pop star Dave Dee has died at the age of 65, following a three-year battle with cancer. The singer continued playing gigs with his band - Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich - until near to the end of his life, record plugger Sean Cooney said. "He didn't let it get him down. He was defying it," Mr Cooney added. The group had eight top 10 hits, including a UK number one single in 1968 with The Legend of Xanadu, in which Dee famously cracked a whip. They first entered the UK chart in December 1965 with You Make it Move, which peaked at number 26
