In all my years in Vietnam, I never saw a Viet Cong eye to eye in battle. Taking a peek once again at the scene from the ditch, I peered into the face of a VC, not 50 feet away. He ducked. I ducked. I switched to my Leica with a 400mm lens and popped up again. He popped up. I made a frame. He disappeared from view without shooting. What a stupid thing for me to do. So stunned, for a moment I could not photograph. (AP Photo/Horst Faas)
