Moving back into the overrun position, Cambodian troops recently came upon several bodies. One of them, found partially clothed in a shallow grave, with a bullet wound in the chest and another in the head, was almost certainly Kate Webb's. She had become U.P.I.'s bureau manager in Phnom-Penh last February, at the age of 28, after her predecessor, Frank Frosch, was gunned down along with Pulitzer-prizewinning Photographer Kyoichi Sawada in a Viet Cong ambush. Webb is the tenth journalist known to have died in Cambodia since the war spilled across its borders last spring...

...what of Flip? Bermuda was none of those things for Flip, who met Mary on his 23rd birthday. He called her pirate's treasure (a sunken chest). but Flip thought a lot of her. Drinks at the Terrace, dancing at Elbow, and then romantic walks at Horseshoe Bay. This girl Mary could even keep up with Flip and his quick bike. The week moved toward a climax, and Flip talked to her in terms of future get-togethers. Then came the big last night, and Mary flashed her engagement ring at Flip. Think what Bobby Vinton could do with material...
