- Summary:
- When Malcolm Browne caught his first glimpse of Beverly Deepe in Saigon in March of 1962, his first thought was, "what a sweet, corn-fed, innocent girl she is, and what a place for her to be in." She was twenty-six years old, a recent graduate of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, and a lifelong high achiever who was about to invent herself as America's first female resident correspondent in Vietnam. She had arrived in Saigon on February 28 for what was to have been a two-week stop on a trip around the world. Soon, however, her itinerary changed. South Vietnam and her generation's war held Deepe for nearly seven years. "It was a story that just grew and grew," she said decades later.
