The announcement of the awards also left an amateur photograplier incredulous that he received one, saying he thought he had a ‘*better chance of flying tothe moon” than winning a Pulitzer. The. Philadelphia Inquirer and Chicago Tribune h won two prizes in journalism, while arts. awards went to Wendy Wassersteiti’s The Heidi Chronicles for drama; Anne Tyler's Breathing Lessons for fiction; and Neil Sheehan's A Bright Shining Lie: John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam for general non-fiction. “I's really fun to win a Pulitzer Prize,” said Pat Dougherty, city editor of the Anchorage News, winner of the Pulitzer for public service. **1t will give us a chan ce to reiterate the point of the stories done in the first place: We’ ye got a serious problem up here."’ The problem, alcoholism among Alaskan natives, was covered exhaustively in a nine-day series. As a result, state legislators made bootlegging whjskey in native villages a felony and gave villages mdre-power to regulate or ban liquor; special grants were arranged to fight suicide in rural areas BLACK AREAS Bill Dedman of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution won the prize for investigative reporting for his series on racial discrimination by,lending institutions in Adanta Within weeks of its publication, the banks announced far-reaching changes in their operations in the city’s black areas, along with the equivalent of an-$86 million Cdn fund for mortgages in those neighborhoods. The Philadelphia Inquirer was cited for feature writing — David Zucchino’s series Being Black in South Africa — and in national writing, for a seven-part series by Donald Barlett and James Steele on loopholes inser ted in the 1986 tax reform bill for special interests. The prize was the second such award for Barlett Amateur picks up Pulitzer f or photo Ron Olshwanger, 51, a furniture wholesaler from Creve Coeur, Mo., won the spot news photography prize for a picture of a firefighter trying to save a two year-old girl. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch acquired rights to the photo. “Who'd have ever thought I'd win a Pulitzer Prize? I'd figure I have a better chance of flying to the moon," said Olshwanger Champagne baths were inistered to Manny Crisostomo of the Detroit Free Press, winner of the feature photography award, and to Jack Higgins of the Chicago Sun-Times, winner of the award for editorial castooning But the drinks were non-aleoholic at the Courier Journal of Louisville, Ky., which won the general news reporting prize for its coverage of a bus crash blamed on a drunken driver that killed 27 students. Each award carries with it the equivalent of a $3,600 Cdn prize, except the public service award, which is recognized with a gold medal Two international reporting prizes were to Glenn Frankel of the Washington Post, for reports from the Middle East, and to Bill Keller of the New York Times, for his work in the Soviet Union The explanatory journalism award went to reporter David Hanners, photographer William Snyder and tist Karen Blessen of the Dallas News, for their report on a 1986 air crash, its aftermath and implications. Michael Skube of the News and Observer of The com awarded Raleigh, N.C., won the award for criticism mentary prize went to Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune; the other Tribune award, éditorial writing, went to Lois Wille, who also won a Pulitzer in 1963 for public service with the Chicago News Wasserstein’s play, which from off Broadway to Broadway this month, follows its heroine aid her friends from the "60s to the 1980s. moved Sheehan's book, Vietnam, was 16 years in the making Taylor Branch’s Parting the Waters the story of a career officer in America in Province of British Columbia 800,000 Hex British Columbia households benefit British Columbia is an,attractive place to work and live That combination is putting pressure on the supply of housing.
