	Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips Kate Webb: My Dream Girl clipped by: ouyangwulong clippers remarks: We really lost someone great when Kate Webb died this May. She was hard as she needed to be to get the scope from behind enemy lines, but soft enough to not lose her sense of humor and humanity. This is an amazing story of how she escaped from a Viet Cong prison. She is so totally my dream girl. (Or at least, one of them! ) Clip Source: www.nytimes.com Kate Webb | b. 1943 This was 1971. Only a handful of women were full-time correspondents in Vietnam, and even fewer women roughed the front lines next door in Cambodia Bad luck was a virus among foreign correspondents in Cambodia. Unlike in Vietnam ? where Webb arrived four years earlier at age 23 with a philosophy degree, a one-way ticket from Australia, a Remington typewriter, $200 in cash and a whiskey-and-cigarette voice so soft people leaned in to hear her ? there were no reliable phone lines in Cambodia to call your editor in an emergency. There were no American military hospitals to sew up your bullet wounds; no helicopters to evacuate you when things got bloody. By April 1971, several years before the Killing Fields, at least 16 foreign correspondents were missing and 9 were dead. On April 7, it was Webb?s turn. A 28-year-old bureau chief for United Press International, Webb was covering a clash on Highway 4, south of Phnom Penh.
