Painfully he remembers when Sean Flynn, son of Movie Star Errol Flynn, headed for the front on a photographic assignment for TIME in 1970, where he was captured by Khmer forces and, like 21 other missing colleagues, never heard from again. It was thus with mixed feelings that Clark set out for his latest visit to the Thai-Cambodian border to report...
