...human head shouldn't be that hard to find. But scientists have never caught a glimpse of a live giant squid in the wild. The cephalopod's reign as the Greta Garbo of the undersea world, however, is over: last week two Japanese scientists?Tsunemi Kubodera and Kyoichi Mori?published the first photographs of a giant squid in action, captured by a robotic camera 900 m below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. For obsessive squid hunters, it's the scientific equivalent of Captain Ahab finally getting his white sperm whale...
...Kyoichi Arimitsu, born in 1907, is one of the few remaining eyewitnesses to what happened during the Japanese occupation. A respected archaeologist, Arimitsu went to Korea in 1931 to do graduate work. "We wanted to know the history of the Korean peninsula, not from reading but from excavating the actual sites," Arimitsu says in an interview at the small museum in Kyoto where he works. The Japanese sent scholars to itemize Korea's cultural heritage, the first such effort in Korean history. Colonial officials produced a 15-volume series on everything from roof tiles and temple architecture to porcelain...
...bullet wound in the chest and another in the head, was almost certainly Kate Webb's. She had become U.P.I.'s bureau manager in Phnom-Penh last February, at the age of 28, after her predecessor, Frank Frosch, was gunned down along with Pulitzer-prizewinning Photographer Kyoichi Sawada in a Viet Cong ambush. Webb is the tenth journalist known to have died in Cambodia since the war spilled across its borders last spring; 19 others are listed as missing. In one year, Cambodia has accounted for more than half the total of 52 journalists who have been killed...
...three years we worked with Photographer Kyoichi Sawada [Nov. 9] in Viet Nam, he never lost his sensitivity for people or his professional dedication. Long after many photographers had become worn thin by the daily dangers of covering a war, Sawada continued to return to the U.P.I, office on Ngo Duc Ke Street with action photographs of the fighting. Sawada was a credit to the international press corps. In 1966, when he won the Pulitzer Prize, he tramped through hamlet after hamlet and traveled to many refugee camps until he found the woman who was the subject of his prizewinning...
Japanese Newsman Kyoichi Sawada was the best, certainly the most daring, photographer working for United Press International in Indochina. His risks were calculated, but they were no less risky. Last May he and U.P.I. Bureau Manager Robert Miller were captured by Communists in Cambodia. Sawada tolerated the situation for eight hours, then vehemently announced that he would rather die than spend the rest of the war in captivity. The startled Communists promptly released both their captives...
