...girl, Lynn Kauffman, 23, was a divorcee; she was vivacious, smart, well educated. The affair blossomed in the 44-day voyage from Singapore to Boston. On the 45th day, when Utrecht left Boston for New York, the shipboard romance was dead-and so was Lynn Kauffman, whose half-nude body, brutally beaten, was found awash on Spectacle Island in Boston Bay. Last week police arrested Radio Officer Van Rie on a charge of murder...

One of Bach's students was shy, skinny, 17-year-old Mark Kauffman, owner of a rickety Speed Graphic and the sole support of his parents, two sisters and 14 brothers. "Go out and cover Eleanor Roosevelt," said Bach to Mark one afternoon in 1939. At a press conference, Kauffman snapped unobtrusively in the background, produced one of the most human, humorous pictures of the First Lady ever taken. A week later it adorned the cover of LIFE, and Kauffman...
