Less successful was the car that on Christmas night swerved out of a line of vehicles at another checkpoint, tried to crash the barrier pole. Communist guards, their marksmanship enhanced by the lights on a 20-ft.-high Christmas tree they had cynically erected near the Wall, opened fire. Horst Schöneberger, 24, of Dortmund, West Germany, was wounded and hauled away with two East German girls in the car (the Reds sentenced him to twelve years at hard labor). The driver, Horst's brother Heinz, 27, sprinted for the boundary 15 feet away. Just...

His venture into a jungle village two weeks ago was only one example of Faas's daring and reourcefulness in getting the most poignant war photos that have come out of Viet Nam. He likes to show his latest pictures to anyone who will look. "That," he says with fierce pride, "is a Horst Faas picture...
