Los Angeles Times's Southeast Asia.(David Lamb)(Brief Article)

Nieman Reports, June, 2001

David Lamb returned to the Washington, D.C. area after nearly four years in Hanoi as the Los Angeles Times's Southeast Asia bureau chief. Lamb, who covered the war for UPI in the late 1960's, writes: "To have encountered Vietnam as a country instead of a war was an eye-openng and wonderful experience.

Sandy [his wife] and I developed a great fondness and respect for Vietnam and the Vietnamese." Lamb is on a leave of absence, writing a book on Vietnam. He will rejoin the Times in its D.C. bureau later this year.
