• Letter from Beverly Keever about the difficulties facing the Saigon press corps
  Long letter to Mr. Rosenfeld from Beverly Keever about the Saigon press corps and tensions with the U.S. military in Vietnam. She adresses corrspondents with particularly bad relationships with the military, including Horst Faas, Peter Arnett, and Morley Safer. She discusses a USIA delegation that came to listen to reporters in Saigon, where the reporters demanded no censorship and no diversion of the military to keep reporters away from major battles. The reporters also refuted that the Western press was losing the war, and pointed instead to military failure. Then she turns to issues for the New York Herald Tribune office specifically, namely difficulty communicating with the head office, low personnell numbers, surveillance by the Vietnamese government, and the lies from American official sources. She labels TIME as the paper that gets the best political leaks, but says the New York Herald Tribune has the best Vietnamese sources due to Phạm Xuân Ẩn's work. She also briefly mentions the Newspaper Guild strike in New York
