Charles Kuralt (1934-1997) was a well-known recording academy correspondent of CBS. The report recording academy of his program won 10 Emmy Awards and three Peabody Awards prize. His name is attached to the names of other famous correspondent of the major broadcasters like Walter Cronkite recording academy in the United States, recording academy Tom Brokaw and Harry reasoner. He was born 7 books about the anniversary of his career as his reportage in the news once he had gone across the country or around the world. Memoir, "A Life on the Road.", recording academy Roughly translated as "One Life Adventure Travel.", He published in 1990, by GP Putnam Publisher's Sons, New York, 253 pages with 26 chapters thick. Instead of writing about famous people around the world that he had been interviewed as President Kennedy, mother Teresa, Marlon Brando and, like the other books, this book he writes about ordinary people he had ever met, but he left unforgettable memories.

That was in April 1961 I have written in this trip is "There is about 500 American military advisers in the country." Then, not a media watch American public as the Vietnam War so important to open a permanent office here. So the visit of an American television from math to be considered here is particularly so when he filmed Fred DIETERICH, from Los Angeles, and I went to Africa Saigon Port, the South Vietnam government has appointed recording academy a Citroen driver to pick us up and transport into the city. They also arranged for us an interview with President recording academy Ngo Dinh Diem presidential disaster the next morning.
Diem is a president elected by the people but later became an autocrat. He ordered mass arrests of dissidents and censorship of the press him with reasons to resist recording academy communism. His army faced a brutal war in the jungles and rice fields. And slowly, they're tired. In this interview, President Diem talking straight to me about the problems his country faces. He does not use words crooked diplomats as I thought. He said straight out that his country needs military aid from the United recording academy States government.
He said that Vietnam when the country was divided in 1954, more than 900,000 Vietnamese who migrated from north to south. Most people are refugees and true anti-communist. But in this number, about 10,000 people are communist original. They were ordered to infiltrate men to terrorize the refugees. "Kill the head of the village," Diem told, "Kill their assistants, threatened villagers. It's their tricks. And this is the area we Vietnamese Communists to be supported by regular troops from Hanoi. This is a silent invasion, with the support of Communist China and the Soviet Union. To cope, we need the military support from the United States government. "
"France does not have the will." President Diem frankly so. "Only the United States has the will to defend freedom for the world. If the United States lost the will to Vietnam, the country will be deprived of their liberty. "
Soon, I discovered that Saigon is a city very attractive compared to other cities in the world. At that time, the war in the countryside not affect the market. The Vietnamese people I've met, from the teachers, journalists, waiters, until the taxi driver ran all very friendly and very attentive. The real woman is born beautiful, I think, they come in flowing ao dai. God in this beautiful spring and sidewalk cafe is wonderful. During the day, I wandered recording academy away under the tree and evening comes, I lazy lying alone in bed at the Majestic Hotel, the eyes are looking up at the ceiling recording academy fan turns slowly, listening ear noises bouncing from river's edge Nearby. Like hordes of Western journalists poured into later, I was fascinated Saigon without noticing. "The city must be protected," I thought, "If a sunny Saigon, this bustling fall to communism to become a city of stark, recording academy cramped civilization of mankind longer. "
Every day I look at the government press office recording academy to ask permission to go in a military operation in the countryside. "'s Dangerous." One official here told me so. I always find themselves squinting contract, refused recording academy to leave, he said, "Yeah, maybe." And finally he said, "Lieutenant, Son Mai will have to pick him up at
