Keith Olbermann’s return date set for Tuesday; actress Ruby Dee honored for legendary career; the DOC NYC film festival awards its grand jury prize to “Windfall.”
Olbermann Back on Tuesday: Suspended MSNBC host Keith Olbermann will return to the air on Tuesday. Olbermann was suspended by the network last week after it was revealed that he donated to political candidates during the mid-term election cycle, a violation of network policy. Phil Griffin, chief executive of MSNBC, said two days was “an appropriate punishment.” [AP]

Dee has appeared in dozens of stage and screen roles in her long career, including in the 1961 film version of “A Raisin in the Sun,” and is a political activist.
