Clare Hollingworth: British war correspondent dies aged 105 Rest in Peace, Clare. ht

Everyone at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Hong Kong knew of Clare, although she wasn't an easy person to get to know. I had 2-3 short conversations with her in the 1990s, and said hello whenever she was well enough to visit her favorite watering hole (and, the best bar in Asia).

RIP.

Hollingworth broke the story of Germany's invasion of Poland in August 1939. Her report featured on the front page of the Daily Telegraph on 29 August, 1939.

It is estimated that between March and July 1939 Clare helped to process visas for between 2,000 and 3,000 [Czechoslovakian] refugees to come to Britain and beyond.

A later exclusive, about the British spy Kim Philby, was spiked by The Guardian in 1963.

She narrowly escaped death herself in 1946 when a bomb blast destroyed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.

Though diminutive and bespectacled, Hollingworth was as tough as nails. She learned how to fly and made a number of parachute jumps.

Hollingworth reported on the Algerian crisis and the Vietnam War. She was one of the first journalists to predict that American military muscle would not prevail and that a stalemate was inevitable.

Hollingworth … became the Telegraph's first Beijing correspondent in 1973, retired to Hong Kong in 1981.

Dude, wtf, what about Vegas?

Go there, don't drink or gamble, save money for spending on bottle rats, night clubs and strip clubs :)

[GVChamp]

My buddy has specifically said in the past "I'm not the kind of guy who would go to Vegas " :(

We decided on staying local....easier for all the folks who can't actually take time off.


Also, now we are remodeling the house, which is an expensive endeavor. :(
