Westmoreland was the General appointed to take control of the US troops in Vietnam in 1964. The edict forbade women to be with troops overnight.[5] Merick, then working in Saigon for ABC, she and Ann Bryan Mariano[3] organized women journalists to meet with the Ministry of Defense, who subsequently reversed the order.[1] As a student sports journalist in the 1950s at Cornell University, she received national attention for her struggle to succeed despite sexism. She was the first woman sports editor at Cornell, and the first woman journalist credentialed for the press box at prestigious universities such as Cornell and Yale.[1][2] References1. ^1 2 Sam Roberts, [https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/09/business/media/anne-morrissy-merick-dead-abc-journalist-in-vietnam.html "Anne Morrissy Merick, a Pioneer from Yale to Vietnam, Dies at 83"], New York Times, May 9, 2017. 2. ^1 Samantha Schmidt, [https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/05/09/anne-morrissy-merick-a-trailblazing-vietnam-war-journalist-dies-at-83/ "Anne Morrissy Merick, a Trailblazing Vietnam War Journalist, Dies at 83"], Washington Post, May 9, 2017. 3. ^1 Associated Press, "Anne Morrissy Merick Obituary", published at Los Angeles Times, May 9, 2017. 4. ^Rachel Vorona Cote, "Esteemed Vietnam War Journalist, Anne Merick, Dies at Age 83", Jezebel, May 8, 2017. 5. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/may/15/anne-morrissy-merick-obituary|title=Anne Morrissy Merick obituary|last=Sebba|first=Anne|date=2017-05-15|work=The Guardian|access-date=2017-05-21|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}} Further reading
