TIME (Asian Edition) March 15:

"TIME is built on the strength of its reporters, and this month we lost one
of our best: SANDRA BURTON, 62, who died suddenly in Bali. Sandy was one of
the first female correspondents we sent into the field. In 1982, she came to
Asia - which she would make her home - and the next year, she accompanied
exiled dissident Benigno Aquino Jr. on his fateful return to the
Philippines, then ruled by his archenemy, Ferdinand Marcos. Aquino was
gunned down when he left the plane. Sandy placed her tape recorder against a
plane window, and its record of gunshots and shouting - and her reporting -
would cast doubt on Marcos' contention that a lone gunman had killed his
rival.

By the time Sandy left the magazine in 1998, the woman who had been
reluctantly let out into the field had become TIME's foreign correspondent
emeritus."
