Thanks, SamWolf. If not Bourke-White, then it was some other (female) journalist or photographer whose death in Vietnam was a shock. A conservative, too. ... Philippa Schuyler, a talented young concert pianist and daughter of a conservative newspaper columnist, also perished in some mishap over there -- perhaps a chopper crash.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It is always nice to attend a "parade" like this for our homecoming.

The book was "Four Jills in a Jeep" by the Hollywood starlet Carole Landis. It recounted her adventures on a tour to entertain troops in England and Africa, with three other actresses, Mitzi Mayfair, Martha Ray and Kay Francis. A cheerful, bouncy book -- made into a forgettable Hollywood film. She met Bourke-White in Africa where combat was close, and recounts some of the photographer's absolutely hair-raising feats.

Landis sounded so darned upbeat, it is strange indeed that she died by her own hand only a few years later (overdose of seconal), before she was yet 30.

Did you know that it was Bill Buckley's sister, Priscilla, a wire-service editor in France, who coined the term, "The Angel of Dien Bien Phu"?

Thanks for always remembering us and for all of your hard work on our behalf. But most of all thanks for being "in country" with us when you were. We will never forget and forever appreciate what you did for us.
