Another nifty obit by Richard Pyle of the Associated Press. I'm assuming he didn't mean AP's Relman Morin and Don Whitehead, who shared with others a Pulitzer for their war coverage.

Ex-AP Writer McArthur, Who Covered Vietnam, Dies

Quote:
After the war, McArthur attended the University of Georgia while working for a local newspaper. He was hired by the AP in Atlanta in 1949 to cover sports and write radio news copy — a typical start for a wire service career path that could lead anywhere.

In his case, that was Korea. In 1951, McArthur was one of several youthful AP staffers who volunteered to replace the aging ex-World War II retreads first dispatched to Seoul after communist North Korea's invasion of South Korea in July, 1950.
