Nieman Reports Summer 2007 Issue Nieman Notes Compiled by Lois Fiore A Skeptical Vietnam Voice Still Echoes in the Fog of Iraq By Dexter Filkins David Halberstam, who died in a car crash in California on April 23rd, was a long-time friend of the Nieman Foundation. In seminar calendars long-shelved in a closet at Lippmann House, Halberstam's name first appears in a listing for Friday, November 10, 1978—"6:30 p.m., supper." This was during Jim Thomson's tenure as curator and, through the years and with the succession of curators, Halberstam was a frequent guest, generous with his time and knowledge. The following article, by Dexter Filkins of The New York Times and a 2007 Nieman Fellow, appeared in that paper on April 25th. We are grateful to be able to present it here in honor of our good friend. Editor's Note: Nieman Reports received permission to reprint this article in the printed version of Nieman Reports only.
