For a long time only a far-zone contribution of gravitational fields of the localized sources (plane-wave-front approximation) were a matter of theoretical analysis. We demonstrate how this analysis can be extended to take into account near-zone and intermediate-zone contributions as well. The formalism is used to calculate gravitational-wave corrections to the Shapiro time delay in binary pulsars and low-frequency (LF) pulsar timing noise produced by an ensemble of double stars in our galaxy.6 pages, 2 figures, a talk given at the XXXIVth Rencontres de Moriond on "Gravitational Waves and Experimental Gravity", Les Arcs, 23-30 January 1999General Relativity and Quantum CosmologyAstrophysicstext
