"William Worthy, a foreign correspondent who in the thick of the Cold War ventured where the United States did not want him to go and became the subject of both a landmark Federal case concerning travel rights and a ballad by the protest singer Phil Ochs died on May 4 in Brewster Mass. He was 92."

Bob Dylan once said of Phil Ochs: "You're not a folksinger. You're just a journalist."
Not so much an insult but a badge of honour if you are compared to folk like William Worthy.
