...Slender, durable Newshen Higgins, who covers Korea in tennis shoes, baggy pants and shirt and a fatigue cap that usually conceals her bobbed blonde hair, has done more than win the admiration of soldiers in her front-line reporting. She has also forced her male competitors, who at first tended to regard her as an impudent upstart in the business of reporting battles, to admit grudgingly that she was their match when it came to bravery and beats. More than once, Maggie Higgins has jeeped or hiked to hot spots while other correspondents hung back, thus forced them...

But neither the Traveler nor any other Boston paper printed the prison record of J. Joseph Connors, appointed...
...mellow mood at a private party, and his quickness in sensing a news opening, that had won him his exclusive. What really galled his fellow newsmen was the fact that Krock had once more beaten them cleanly at their own game. In a left-handed way, sulking Newshen Fleeson gave him his due. Said she: "I take off my hat to Arthur Krock. He kicks Truman's teeth out 364 days a year, and on the 365th he gets an exclusive interview from [Truman's] own bleeding mouth...
