Will Englund, 45, has been with the Baltimore Sun since 1977. He worked briefly as a copy editor as a local reporter he covered City Hall and education. In 1988 he worked for the Glasgow Herald in Scotland as a Fulbright fellow. From 1991 to 1995 he and his wife, Kathy Lally, were assigned to Moscow as correspondents for The Sun. In late 1997 they returned to Moscow to begin another tour there.

Before coming to The Sun, he had worked for a year at The Record, in Bergen County, NJ.

A native of Pleasantville, NY, he graduated from Harvard College and earned a master's degree from Columbia University. He and Ms. Lally live in Moscow with their two daughters, ages 15 and 12.

Gary Cohn has been a reporter for more than 20 years. He joined The Baltimore Sun in October 1993. Before then, Cohn worked for The Philadelphia Inquirer for seven years. He also has worked for The Wall Street Journal, the Lexington (KY) Herald-Leader and for columnist Jack Anderson in Washington.

Cohn has reported and written investigative series on issues ranging from corruption inside Philadelphia's largest municipal union to the inability of police to overcome language barriers and solve crimes involving Hispanic farm workers. In 1995, he wrote a four-part series for The Sun detailing how a CIA-trained Honduran army unit known as Battalion 316 kidnapped, tortured and murdered suspected subversives in Honduras during the 1980s -- with U.S. knowledge and complicity.

Many of Cohn's stories helped bring about significant reforms. He has won numerous national journalism awards, including the Edward W. Scripps First Amendment Award, the Selden Ring Award and the Overseas Press Club of America award. He also was a finalist for the 1996 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.

Cohn was born in Brooklyn, New York. He earned his bachelor's degree in psychology and political science at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He completed the first year of law school at the University of California at Berkeley, took a year's leave of absence to work as a reporter, and decided he liked journalism too much to ever go back.
