On board was journalist Ed Koterba, father of author Ed Morgret.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In a eulogy the next day, June 28, 1961, John F. Kennedy called Koterba “a most outstanding newspaperman.” Koterba was a Capitol Hill reporter, White House correspondent, nationally syndicated columnist, and world traveler. Simply put, he was one of the best journalists of his time. His combination of unique, humorous angles and hardhitting journalism endeared him to more than a million readers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Compiled here are 363 of Koterba’s most memorable articles, including dispatches from India, Antarctica, and Communist Czechoslovakia.
