If you search the New York Times for "Michael Murphy," HERE's what you get. Nothing.

Lt. Murphy, a Navy SEAL, is to be awarded the Medal of Honor :

Lt. Michael P. Murphy, 29, from Patchogue, NY. Murphy was killed by enemy forces during a reconnaissance mission, Operation Redwing, June 28, 2005. Murphy lead a four-man team tasked with finding a key Taliban leader in the mountainous terrain near Asadabad, Afghanistan, when they came under fire from a much larger enemy force with superior tactical position. Mortally wounded while exposing himself to enemy fire, Murphy knowingly left his position of cover to get a clear signal in order to communicate with his headquarters. While being shot at repeatedly, Murphy calmly provided his unit’s location and requested immediate support for his element. He returned to his cover position to continue the fight until finally succumbing to his wounds.

We suppose the Times will get around to reporting this event some time or other. The Los Angeles Times found space to do so, as did the Washington Post, last Thursday.
