 >>An award-winning American journalist, Marguerite Higgins, b. Hong Kong, 
Sept. 3, 1920, d. Jan. 5, 1966, covered three wars from the front lines. At 
the age of 24 she was appointed chief of the New York Herald Tribune's 
Berlin bureau and covered the opening of Buchenwald and Dachau 
concentration camps. For her reports on the Korean War she was named a 
cowinner of the 1951 Pulitzer Prize for international reporting. War in 
Korea: The Report of a Woman Combat Correspondent (1951), a collection of 
these dispatches, was a best-seller. The last of her books was Our Vietnam 
Nightmare (1965). Higgins died of a disease contracted on her last tour of 
the Far East.<<
