And what this article left out ( amongst other things ), is that the "famous" picture of the girl wailing over the body of a "fallen student 'hero" ", was a FOURTEEN YEAR OLD wannabe hippie/"revolutionary", who most assuredly was NOT a student at Kent State at all!

A quasi correction appeared in the N.Y. Times many months later, buried on the last page of the real estate section, or perhaps the Arts & Leisure section.
