...further up the coast beyond the Litani river. But some vehicles head the other way - straight into the killing zone that south Lebanon has become since Israel's onslaught against Lebanese Hizballah guerrillas began 13 days ago. These are the ambulances of the Lebanese Red Cross, driven by fearless young men and women volunteers who risk their lives each day to ferry casualties from villages cut off by shelling and bomb cratered roads...
DIED. Catherine Leroy, 60, fearless, diminutive, French-born war photographer whose raw, intimate glimpses of atrocities during the Vietnam War--among them Corpsman in Anguish, a well-known 1967 photo of a Navy corpsman hunched over his friend's dead body--appeared in LIFE, Look and other publications and won her the prestigious George Polk Award; of cancer; in Santa Monica, Calif...

(A sample, from Kimball's The Complete Lyrics of Ira Gershwin: "What a man for our future! / Equal him if you can. / Fearless attitudes / With no platitudes; / Inspirational - / He's sensational! / Adlai's sweeping the country! / America - here's your man!")
