- 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.
