At Inchon, he became the Korean War's 27th casualty among newsmen when he suffered a fractured arm and chest injuries...
...being greatly intensified. Last week, while U.S. Army units fanned out in three big search-and-destroy operations, thousands of marines, intent on trapping a hard-core Viet Cong division, stormed a beach south of Quang Ngai in the biggest amphibious assault mounted by the U.S. since the Inchon landing in Korea...
