One of my memories is a cutaway shot down the front row of reporters at the "Five O'Clock Follies," the daily press briefing in Saigon during the Vietnam war -- and there was Katie Couric, seven or eight months pregnant, leaning back in her seat with her feet up on the short stage waiting for the briefing to begin.
She was a network caliber reporter long before she started interviewing celebrities.

I knew Katie had a solid reporting career prior to the Today show, but I didn't realize it was at that young an age. I thought she was only in her late 40's/early 50's, which would have made her about 21 or 22 during Vietnam.
