To: a fool in paradise

Dan Rather was lucky to get out of S. Vietnam alive. He was hated by fellow honest journalists as well as the Marines in I Corps.

Same for Don Webster of CBS, for abandoning his cameracrew when they came under mortar fire. He grabbed a jeep and left them standing in the middle of the road and under fire.
Reported happened in 1970 because it was told to me in Saigon by a fellow journalist either in later Oct. or early Nov. 1970, at the Majestic Hotel, Tu Do Street.

Morley Safer was viewed by all as a corrupt CBS putz. He was accused by people in the know of making money off the Saigon Black Market wherein he paid his staff in SVNese money (worth 275P -piasters - for $1 US, versus 475P per $1 US on the BM) by the Indian store owners on Tu Do Street, for one.

MM - accredited by MACV & So. Vietnam as a correspondent, SVN Oct-Nov. 1970.
