Here are a few things in news, entertainment, sports and pop culture that caught our eye last week.

■ Longtime CBS newsman and "60 Minutes" anchor Mike Wallace dies at age 93. Heaven: The only place where the words "Mike Wallace is here" don't cause cold sweats. (We assume.)

■ The financially challenged United Football League will return for a fourth season with a five-team league that includes the Las Vegas Locomotives. However, because of budget cuts, teams will have only two downs per series, games will be just 23 minutes long and referees can call no more than 30 yards of penalties per game.

■ "The Hunger Games" trilogy -- which inspired the hit movie about a brutal, freedom-crushing government that abhors individual thought -- lands on the American Library Association's list of "most challenged" books. Oh, irony, you make life so interesting.
