By: E&P Staff

Joseph L. Galloway, a famed war correspondent who covered conflicts from the Vietnam War to the Gulf War -- and co-wrote the book We Were Soldiers Once ... and Young (later a Mel Gibson movie) -- now serves as military-affairs correspondent for Knight Ridder in its Washington office. When Knight Ridder journalists go abroad to cover another possible war against Iraq, they receive from Galloway a memo, featured in this week's Shoptalk column.
