"I had to learn a lot to write it. It's by far my best work," he said. The book was the fourteenth historical work either written or edited by Levy, who said it was the most difficult subject he had undertaken because it involved European and English origins of laws relating to self-incrimination. "The book received splendid reviews in Chicago and the rest of the midwest, but it was not reviewed by a single one of the national media.

Thinks Loan Knew Adams said he was sure that Loan knew he took the picture.

He later traveled with Loan from Hue to Saigon and lived a week with the general as he photographed him. Later, Loan was wounded in the leg and Adams visited him in a hospital. Loan playfully punched the photographer in the arm and said, "Why weren't you with me when I was wounded?"

It earned Adams a Pulitzer Prize yesterday the eighth and most prestigious award it has brought him. At his home in Bogota, N.J., after the Pulitzers were an-n Adams said: "I'm very excited. I was hoping, but I wasn't sure." It was the 23rd Pulitzer won by an Associated Press staffer, and the eighth for news photography since that award began in 1942. Adams's picture showed Brig. Gen Nguyen Ngoc Loan as he fired a bullet into the prisoner's head on a Saigon street Feb.l, 1968.

"Loan gave no indication that he was going to shoot the prisoner until he did it," Adams has explained. "As Loan's hand holding the revolver came up so did the camera, but I didn't expect what was going to happen. I just shot by instinct." The picture, of studio-like clarity, was one of a series Adams snapped with a 35mm camera at l-500th of a second at fll with a wide-angle lens. Shooting the Tet Offensive Adams recalls it was early afternoon. He was photographing the Tet offensive, when he saw Vietnamese marines and police escortinga prisoner whose hands were tied behind his back.

He trailed them around a corner, away from the fighting, toward a police jeep. He said he cannot recall where Gen. Loan came from. "All I know," he said, "is that I looked up and Gen. Loan was a few feet from the prisoner and walking toward him." As Loan walked toward the prisoner, the guards stepped back.

Adams saw Loan reach for his bone-handled, snub-nosed revolver, and as Loan's arm rose, so did the camera. The picture caught the bullet just as it hit the i 's head. Subsequent shots showed Loan returning the gun to his belt, and the body on the street. As Loan went back to his jeep he said: "They killed many Americans and many of my men." Pictures Caused Stir The picture caused such a stir in the world that Loan was besieged by reporters and photographers for weeks, but refused all interviews. Adams also stopped daily at Loan's headquarters to ask for an appointment, and finally was granted one after a month.

In that session, Loan made only one reference to the picture. "You know, I know who the Vietnamese was who took that picture," he said, stressing the word "Vietnamese" and looking at Adams out of the corner of his eye. "After the picture appeared my wife gave me hell for not taking the film away from the photographer.
