...reporter, Frank Palmos, 28, a freelance Australian journalist, escaped to tell the story. The group had been riding in a jeep around Saigon when they noticed a column of smoke rising above the Cholon section. Heading for the smoke, they soon found themselves moving through a stream of refugees fleeing the Viet Cong. Some tried to warn them with shouts of "V.C.! V.C.!", but they kept going until they arrived at an empty intersection-and then it was too late. Cantwell, who was driving, tried to put the jeep in reverse. Before he could, two Viet Cong opened fire. Palmos...
LAST week in Viet Nam, during a Communist attack on Saigon, TIME Correspondent John L. Cantwell, 30, was killed. Cantwell and four other journalists had taken a jeep and driven to Saigon's Chinese section of Cholon to investigate the extent of the attack when they were ambushed by Viet Cong soldiers.

It is still a horrifying place The officers told me that the bodies had been tied and, again, most had been shot through the head, but "some had been buried alive...
...skills seem at first oldfashioned, but they always turn out to be just right for hitting his targets: hypocrisy, his countrymen's haste to forget the Hitlerite period, the greed of the fat-cat crowd. In this short caper, set in today's Rhineland, a German army Jeep is burned by an intelligent young soldier with the active help of his equally intelligent father. The act is deliberate and they offer no defense at their trial. German courtroom justice, the army, the press and small-town morality are all lethally and satirically observed. The criminals come off well...
