PEOPLE, Page 49Napalm GirlBy J.D. Reed/Reported by Wendy Cole
In 1972 PHAN THI KIM PHUC won the hearts of Americans at a
terrible cost to herself. In a Pulitzer-prizewinning photograph,
the Vietnamese child was shown running naked and screaming as
napalm burned her body. Although she still suffers considerably
from her injuries, Kim Phuc, now 26, bears no grudges. She told a
reporter, "The past is the past." Kim Phuc and Los Angeles-based
photographer NICK UT, who helped her after snapping the famous
picture, were recently reunited in Havana, where she is a
pharmacology student.
