 From today's LA Times (free subscription may be required):

> Catherine Leroy arrived in Saigon at 21, armed with a Leica camera
> and a resolve to capture the human side of the Vietnam War. She
> crawled through rice paddies while hiding from the fighting, jumped
> into a combat zone with American paratroopers and was briefly held
> captive by the North Vietnamese. When she and her cameras were hit by
> shrapnel, only Leroy survived.
