Dirck Halstead, a photojournalist who chronicled the first and final stages of the Vietnam war and whose presidential images included the departure of Richard Nixon from the White House and the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan, has died aged 85.
Halstead, who began his career in his teens, spent most of his career with the United Press International wire service and later at Time magazine, where he had almost 50 cover photos – reportedly more than any other photographer.
