> Friends,
>  To everyone who was sleeping, surfing, in transit, in church, in jail, in
> orbit, in Iraq, in the air, in a daze, at sea, at work, at the movies, at
> life's crossroads, playing golf, playing hockey, playing hooky,  and did not
> buy a hard cover copy of  'Lost Over Laos' by Richard Pyle & Horst Faas.
>     A paperback edition is due out March 2, maybe in stores a week before.
> It's  got a different cover (the helicopters in flight shot),  and some
> updated material, mainly about the Vietnamese flight crew.
>     For the record, ``Lost Over Laos,'' subtitled ``A True Story of Tragedy,
> Mystery and Friendship,'' tells the story of four of the Indochina War's
> best combat photographers, their deaths in a flaming helicopter shot down
> over the Ho Chi Minh Trail in southern Laos on February 10, 1971, and how
> the long-lost crash site was rediscovered and excavated 27 years later by 
an
> American MIA search team. It delves into the lives and careers of the four
> principals, Larry Burrows of Life magazine, Henri Huet of AP, Kent Potter of
> UPI and Keisaburo Shimamoto of Newsweek, .     While they weren't  equally
> famous, all four were top professionals, admired for their skill, compassion
> and courage, and they died doing what they did best.
>     In summary, it's a story of four outstanding combat photographers and a
> lot of other people for whom Vietnam became the indelible experience of a
> lifetime.
>     It should be in YOUR library.
> Happy Snaps,
