All my friends wanted to help, not just Time, so many kind people. Malcolm Browne offered to put me on the New York Times list even though I worked for a competitor; a representative from Reuters came to Givral and offered me and my family passage out. Jim Robinson, who used to work for NBC, offered to take me and my family on the plane he had chartered. Then on April 22 Bob Shaplen told me I had to decide now, for the safety of my wife and children. I said OK, give me one day to think it over.”
