ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES:

Dith Pran, portrayed in 'Killing Fields,' dies (Associated Press, March 30, 2008)

The journalist whose enslavement and escape from Cambodia's murderous revolutionaries was the subject of the movie "The Killing Fields" has died.

Dith Pran's death from pancreatic cancer was confirmed Sunday by journalist Sydney Schanberg, his former colleague at The New York Times. Pran was 65.

Was ever a country served worse by a journalist than Dith Pran's was by Mr. Schanberg?
