David Halberstam, 73, Dies in Car Crash - New York Times

The Dean of Modern Journalism and one of the Vietnam War's most intrepid reporters is dead at 73 after being hit broadside in a car accident in Menlo Park, California. A reporter to the end, Mr. Halberstam was conducting research for a book when he died. We mourn for Mr. Halberstam and for the books he will never write and note the bitter irony of a death on America's streets of one who endured so many perils abroad.
