"I've had my chances to do the kind of work
Paul [Salopek] does -- and I blinked," writes
Ken Armstrong. "I didn't want to endure the hardship and peril." Salopek, who is in jail in Sudan on espionage charges, "doesn't write for awards. He doesn't promote himself. He doesn't tag along with other journalists. He goes his own way." Last year Armstrong asked Salopek (left) to go to Seattle and speak at a journalism conference. "He said he couldn't, because he gets stage fright. Talking to large groups of people terrifies him."
