Despite his wounds and frustration, DeVoss is more fortunate than many casualties among the press corps. LIFE Photographer Robert Capa was killed back in 1954, when the war belonged to France and seemed far away. Since 1965 alone, 34 journalists have died in Indochina, including TIME Correspondent John Cantwell and LIFE Photographer Larry Burrows. Another 19 are still missing, all but two of them lost in Cambodia...
Naturally, LIFE Photographer Larry Burrows, two-time winner of the Robert Capa award* for "superlative photography requiring exceptional courage and enterprise," was aboard the first press helicopter to fly into Laos last week. With a few other civilian combat photographers, he had camped on the border for at least four days, frustrated by U.S. and Vietnamese refusal to allow on-the-spot coverage.

Call it instinct, call it bravery, call it a drive for perfection -whatever the quality, it made him a superb photographer. He won his first Capa award for a 1963 LIFE spread showing the unrelenting savagery of the war. He won again after a 1965 flight with a Marine helicopter squadron airlifting a battalion of Vietnamese infantry to an isolated area. The Viet Cong were waiting for them, and the choppers came under heavy fire. Burrows caught...
...play in the slums, lovers nuzzling at sidewalk cafes, old people reflecting on the long ago. It shows not dynamic events but ageless instants gathered in more than a year of shooting throughout his native land. Though he founded the Magnum agency in 1947 with the late Robert Capa and others, Cartier-Bresson never shared his partners' love of front-page action photography...
