PREFACE The history of the Pulitzer Prizes is also the personal success story of those journalists, writers and composers who won this coveted award. In many cases, the honor of winning advanced their professional careers. In other cases, personal tragedy resulted from the fact that someone was repeatedly nominated for the Prize or applied for it, but never won. Some of those who never were awarded the Prize did, however, belong to the finalists selected by the jurors: For a number of years, the names of the finalists have been published alongside the names of the actual winners at the annual awards announcements. This volume portrays the careers of those prizewinners who were individually named on the official lists by the Pulitzer Prize Board. This includes individuals who contributed to collective works and thus were named on the lists of winners. Two names often mentioned in connection with the Pulitzer Prize are, however, missing in this book: Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. Although they played a central role in the coverage of the Watergate affair, the 1973 Prize was not awarded to them, but to the Washington Post\ The biographies of the 1.118 Pulitzer-Prize winners portrayed in this work are largely based upon brief biographical sketches which were included in the application material. Additionally, general biographical works of reference as well as biographies and autobiographies were consulted. Large-scale correspondence with prizewinners or their descendants was used for retrieving additional information. In more recent times, the internet was also employed to locate missing facts and data from a number of sources. Each biography contained in this book follows the life of a prizewinner up to the point of his or her winning the award. Due to the varying quality of the sources used, the different biographies must naturally be of slightly varying informational value. Despite all efforts, in a small number of cases it was not possible to retrieve the date and/or place of birth of the laureates. This book contains a complete list of award winners from 1917 to 2000. The Pulitzer Prize Collection at Columbia University, New York, was particulary helpful in collecting important data. The impressive archives of the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., also proved an important source, as did other libraries and archives in the U.S. and Europe. Professor Seymor Topping and Mr. Edward M. Kliment of the Pulitzer Prize Office as well as Mr. Bernard R. Crystal of the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Columbia University did everything in their power to aid our research. At the Ruhr-University Bochum Mrs. Britta Duddeck, Mrs. Tanja Schepers and Mr. Sebastian Susteck helped in the final stages of the creation of the manuscript, while Mrs. Ingrid Dickhut created the layout of the book and compiled the Appendix. Additionally, the following people were directly or indirectly involved in the creation of this volume: Tony Abraham (New York), Daniel Boehnk (Paris), Anita Clesle

VI (Düsseldorf), Joseph Elbert (Washington, D.C.), Charles Ferguson (Boston), Larry Heinzerling (New York), Andrea A. Palmer (New York) and John Pennine (New York). Special thanks to Dipl.-Kfm.

This volume is dedicated to the late Professor Dr. Dietrich Oppenberg (1917-2000) on his 85th birthday. He was born in the year when the Pulitzer Prizes were established. For many years he served on the Board of the Theodor-Wolff-Preis, the German equivalent to the Pulitzer Prizes.

Abbott, George Francis, bom on June 25, 1889, in Forestville, N.Y., grew up in Salamanca, N.Y., Cheyenne, Wy., and Hamburg, N.Y. At Hamburg High School he was the most prominent actor in school theatricals. Abbott entered the University of Rochester on a scholarship with the intention of becoming a journalist. In his junior year he began to turn his attention from journalism to playwriting. He received his B.A. degree from Rochester University in 1911. During the Academic year 1911-12 Abbott studied playwriting at Harvard University. During his year at Harvard, Abbott entered a one-act play contests and won the first prize. The play was successfully produced in Boston, and the operator of the theater hired Abbott as her assistant in 1912. With writing still his long-range aim, Abbott left Boston in August 1913 to seek work as an actor in New York. He made his debut on Broadway in November of that year. During the following decades he played twelve roles on Broadway. Meanwhile, from 1918, he was developing as a writer and director. From 1928 to 1930, George Abbott directed several movies for the Paramount Corporation and for Twentieth Century. Then he began producing plays on his own. In the late 1930's and early 1940's he collaborated on musicals by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. In the early 1950's Abbott was also for a short period the master of ceremonies and director of a television variety show. The longest running production directed by Abbott was "Damn Yankees" in 1955, a musical comedy staged on Broadway. George F. Abbott was Co-PPW in 1960 in the "Drama" category for the musical Fiorello! Acheson, Dean Gooderham, born on April 11, 1893, in Middletown, Ct., entered Yale University at the age of eighteen and earned his Bachelor of Arts-degree in 1915. Thereafter, he enrolled at the Harvard University Law School, but his studies were interrupted, when he served with the United States Navy during World War I. He completed his law course in 1918 and was granted his LL.B. degree. From 1919 to 1921 he worked as private secretary to Associate Justice Louis D. Brandeis. From this post he went to the Washington law firm of Covington, Burling and Rublee, where he practiced corporate and international law from

1921 to 1933. President Roosevelt appointed Acheson Under Secretary of the Treasury on May 19, 1933, but Acheson was replaced in late 1933, after having criticized the President's program for raising prices. In 1934 he returned to his law firm, now called Covington, Burling, Rublee, Acheson and Schorb. It was in 1941, that Roosevelt requested him to return to Government service as Assistant Secretary of State. Acheson became Under Secretary of State in 1945. After six and a half years in the State Department, he resigned in 1947 to return to private practice. At that time President Truman bestowed on him the Medal of Merit for his services. Acheson returned to the State Department in 1949, when he was the fiftieth American to be appointed Secretary of State. He remained in this position until 1953 and returned then again to private practice. Dean G. Acheson won the 1970 PP in the category "History" for the book Present at the Creation: My Years in the State Department. Acohido, Byron, born on July 3, 1955, in Wahiawa, Hi., studied at the University of Oregon's School of Journalism at Eugene, Or., from 1973 to 1977. He obtained a B.S. in journalism, and from 1977 to 1985 worked as a reporter for The Herald in Everett, Wa., covering business news and the criminal justice system. In 1985 he joined the Dallas Times Herald in Dallas, Tx., where he was reporter and business editor. In 1987 he took up a position as investigative reporter with the Seattle Times in Seattle, Wa. He quickly specialized in questions of aviation safety, and for almost ten years covered severe problems with the Boeing 737 rudder controls. In 1990 he began to regularly conduct workshops on beat and investigative reporting. His series of groundbreaking reports on the Boeing 737 and aviation safety won him eleven journalism prizes, e.g. the 1993 Aviation Space Writers Association Premier Award, the Associated Press Managing Editors Award for Public Science, the Society of Professional Journalists Award for Public Service, the Edgar A. Poe Award for National Reporting, and the Seiden Ring Award for Investigative Reporting. In 1997 he became Atwood Distinguished Professor of Journalism at the University of Alaska at Anchorage. The same year, Byron Acohido was

Adams - Agar PPW for "Beat Reporting" for articles on jetengine problems and aviation safety. Adams, Edward Thomas, born on June 12, 1933, in New Kensington, Pa., started his career as a staff photographer at the New Kensington Daily Dispatch in 1950. While doing this job Adams graduated from the New Kensington High School in 1951 and then served in the United States Marine Corps as a combat photographer until 1954. In 1958 Adams switched to the Battle Creek Enquirer & News in Michigan. In the same year he started to work for the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. He joined the Associated Press in New York in 1962. Adams was honored as Photographer of the Year by the New York Photographers Association in 1966 and 1967. Edward T. Adams earned the 1969 PP in the category "Spot News Photography" for a picture with the caption "Saigon Execution." Adams, Henry Brooks, bom on February 16, 1838, in Boston, Ma., was great-grandson of President John Adams, grandson of President John Quincy Adams and son of the politician Charles F. Adams. He graduated from Harvard University. Subsequently, in 1858, he enrolled at the University of Berlin, Germany, to study civil law. After two years he returned to the U.S. and went to Washington as his father's secretary during the session of Congress in the winter of 1860-61. On the outbreak of the Civil War he intended to enlist in one of Massachusetts' regiments, but instead he fulfilled his father's wishes and set out for London as his secretary. During the next seven years he stayed in England, meanwhile occasionally writing articles for newspapers. Back in the U.S. in 1868, Adams decided to pursue a career in journalism and contributed from now on articles about political and historical items to various journals. During the 1870s Adams taught as an assistant professor medieval history at Harvard University, where, at the same time, he conducted the North American Review. After seven years he gave up his post at Harvard and returned to Washington in order to put his entire time into the writing of history. Documents Relating to New England Federalism, 1800-1815; History of the United States (nine volumes) and Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres number among his works. The Education of Henry Adams was first privately printed, before it was published after Adams' death in 1918. In 1919 this book made Henry B. Adams the PPW in the category "Biography or Autobiography." Adams, James Truslow, bom on October 18, 1878, in Brooklyn, N.Y., was graduated from the Polytechnical Institute of Brooklyn in

1898. Two years later, he earned the Master's degree at Yale University. After his examinations he entered a New York Stock Exchange firm, where he worked for the following twelve years. From early in the First World War on, he prepared data with the Colonel House Commission for the Peace conference in Paris in 1919. There, he assumed detailed special duty. Before, Adams had become captain of the Military Intelligence Division. James T. Adams was member of quite a number of highstanding academic institutions, e.g. the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the National Institute of Arts and Letters and the American Historical Association. He was also a very productive writer; among his works are Memorials of Old Bndgehampton and History of Town of Southampton. In 1922 James T. Adams won the PP in the category "History" for the book The Founding of New England. Adams, Lorraine, born on October 1, 1959, in Coaldale, Pa., graduated with B.A. and M.A. degrees from Princeton University. She won a Ward Mathis award for Creative Writing in 1980 and a Francis Lemoyne Page award for Creative Writing in 1981. From 1983 to 1984 she worked as a staff writer for the Concord Monitor in New Hampshire, and in 1984 she became a reporter with the Dallas Morning News. Together with a colleague she spent two years on an investigation of civil rights violations by law enforcement officials in Texas. The findings of this investigation were published in the Morning News throughout 1991. In 1992 Lorraine Adams was the Co-PPW in the category "Investigative Reporting" for disclosures that charged Texas police with abuses of power. Agar, Herbert Sebastian, bom on September 29, 1897, in New Rochelle, N. Υ., was graduated from Columbia University in 1919 and earned his Master's degree at Princeton University one year later. There, he received also his doctorate in 1922. From 1929 to 1934 he worked as London correspondent for the Louisville Courier-Journal and Louisville Times. Furthermore, Agar assumed the position of a literary editor for The English Review in London, England, during the period from 1930 to 1934. In New York, he was member of the National Arts Club and the Century Club, whereas in Washington, Agar joined the National Press Club. Throughout his career he was a very prolific author: Together with his second wife Eleanor Carroll Chilton and Willis Fisher he wrote Fire and Sleet and Candlelight. Eleanor Carroll Chilton was also his cowriter on The Garment of Praise. Other works of his are Milton and Plato; Bread and Cir-

Agee - Albee cuses and The Defeat of Baudelaire. Herbert S. Agar was the 1934 PPW in the category "History" for the book The People's Choice. Agee, James, born on November 27, 1909, in Knoxville, Tn., studied at Phillips Exeter Academy. He then attended Harvard University, from which he was graduated in 1932. During his college years he edited the Advocate, Harvard's literary magazine, and won the Poetry prize. In 1936 James Agee and the photographer Walker Evans accepted a commission from Fortune magazine to write a series of articles on the condition of poor whites in the rural South. They spent about six weeks in Alabama, mostly with three families, Agee making notes and Evans taking pictures. The articles and photographs they produced were rejected by Fortune, but the material was eventually published in book form, under the title Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. In 1939 Agee joined the staff of Time magazine and in 1943 he became a film critic with The Nation, a position in which he remained for the following five years. He was the author of Permit Me Voyage, a collection of poems, and the book The Morning Watch. He also wrote the scripts for the screenplays The Quiet One, The African Queen and Mr. Lincoln. James Agee died on May 16, 1955, in New York City. His work A Death in the Family was posthumously published and made him the 1958 PPW in the category "Fiction." Aiken, Conrad Potter, born on August 5, 1889, in Savannah, Ga., entered Harvard University in 1907. He wrote for college publications, including the Harvard Advocate, and obtained the B .A. degree in 1912. After his graduation and travel to Europe, Aiken settled in Cambridge, Ma., to devote himself to freelancing in prose and verse. His first collection of poems appeared in 1914 under the title Earth Triumphant and Other Tales in Verse. In 1916 he brought out Turns and Movies and Tales in Verse, a collection of psychological sketches of vaudevillians, and The Jig of Forslin: A Symphony. More symphonies, in which Aiken experimented with adapting musical structures to poetry, followed: The Charnel Rose; Senlin: A Biography; The House of Dust: A Symphony, and The Pilgrimage of Festus. Already in 1915 he had begun reviewing books for magazines. Among the publications in which his reviews appeared were the New Republic, Poetry, and the Chicago Daily News. Aiken also was a contributing editor of the Dial in 1917-18. Many of his reviews and literary essays were collected in Skepticisms, published in 1919. During the 1920's Aiken also turned to short story writing:

his first collection, Bring! Bring! and Other Stories, appeared in 1925. The semiautobiographical novel Blue Voyage came out two years later. Two volumes of poetry, the dramatized sketches Punch: The Immortal Liar and Priapus and the Pool, along with Aiken's symphonies, contributed to the 1929 volume Selected Poems. For this book Conrad P. Aiken won the 1930 PP in the "Poetry" category. Akins, Zoe, born on October 30, 1886, in Humansville, Mo., became interested in the stage after seeing productions of touring companies at various St. Louis theatres. She wrote her first play at the age of twelve, and her early poetry was published in William Marion Reedy's St. Louis Mirror, a journal that had earlier recognized other talents. Her first professional work for the stage was a three-act comedy titled Papa. It was followed by The Magical City, which was her first play to be produced in New York. A one-act melodrama in verse, it was performed by the Washington Square Players at the Bandbox Theatre during their 1915-1916 season. It was Declassee that gained Akins the critical and public acclaim she desired. The play, an English society drama, opened at the Empire Theatre in New York in 1919. Akins followed Declassee with a number of plays, including Daddy's Gone AHunting; The Varying Shore, and The MoonFlower. As early as 1924 various movie producers began purchasing the screen rights to Akins' plays. During the following years several of her works have been filmed. In 1928 Akins moved to California for her health. Less than two years later she was under contract to Paramount, writing the books for six films during 1930 and 1931, and contributing original stories or plays for three others. The playwright also worked on scripts for other studios such as Goldwyn, RKO-Radio, and M-G-M. In addition to her work for the film Akins continued writing for the stage. Zoe Akins reached the pinnacle of her stage career with the production of her play The Old Maid, an adaptation of a novella by Edith Wharton, for which she became the 1935 PPW in the category "Drama." Albee, Edward Franklin, bom on March 12, 1928, in Washington, D.C., wrote his first play at the age of twelve. Seven years later he had one of his poems published in Kaleidoscope, a Texas magazine. In 1946 he became student at Trinity College in Hartford, Ct., but left it only one year later. He spent several months in Italy during 1952 writing a novel which however has never been published. In 1958 Albee finished his one-act play The Zoo Story, which had its first performance in Germany in 1959. The following year the play was shown in New York

4 and made Albee the recipient of the Vernon Rice Award for outstanding achievement in an off-Broadway production. Like The Zoo Story, his The Death of Bessie Smith was first presented in Germany before it reached off-Broadway in 1961, having been chosen to fill out a twin bill with the playwright's The American Dream. Both were chosen as the best plays of the 1960-61 season by the Foreign Press Association in New York, and in June 1961 Albee won the Lola D'Annunzio Award for sustained accomplishments in original playwriting. The following year Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was performed. It won the Tony Award, the fifth annual ANTA Award, The Drama Critics Circle Award, the Outer Circle Award, and a special award sponsored by the Village Voice. In 1967 Edward F. Albee was the PPW in the "Drama" category for his play A Delicate Balance. His play Seascape brought to him his second PP for "Drama" in 1975. In 1994 he earned his third PP for "Drama," based on his play Three Tall Women. Albert, Stephen Joel, born on February 6, 1941, in New York City, took private composition lessons from Elie Siegmeister from 1956 to 1958, when he enrolled at the Eastman School of Music to study with Bernard Rogers. He went to Stockholm in 1960 to receive further private lessons from Karl-Birger Blomdahl, and finally became a student of the Philadelphia Musical Academy the same year, where he took courses with Joseph Castaldo, and obtained a Bachelor's degree in music in 1962. In 1963 he worked with George Rochberg at the University of Pennsylvania, and in 1964-65 he was awarded a fellowship from the MacDowell Foundation. He then became a fellow of the Huntington Hartford Foundation and, from 1965 to 1967, a fellow of the American Academy in Rome. In 1968 the MacDowell Foundation awarded him a second fellowship. Albert worked as lecturer of music at Stanford University in 1970-71, before receiving a third fellowship from the MacDowell Foundation. From 1974 to 1976 he was a member of the faculty of the department of music at Smith College in Northampton, Ma. In 1985 Stephen J. Albert was the PPW in the "Music" category for his Symphony, RiverRun. Allen, Henry, bom on May 23, 1941, in Summit, N.J., graduated from Hamilton College, where he won the American Academy of Poets prize. He worked for the New York News and covered the White House and Capitol Hill, until he joined the Washington Post's style section in 1970. In 1975-76 he was a National Endowment fellow at the University of Michigan. He published several books, e.g. a novel, Fool's

Albert - Anderson Mercy, a collection of essays, Going Too Far Enough, and a poetry chapbook, The Museum of Lost Air. A winner of a Distinguished-Commentary prize by the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Henry Allen earned the 2000 PP in the category of "Criticism" for writing on photography.

He subsequently worked for the Herald in Washington, D.C., and the Evening Herald in Huntington, W.V. In 1927 he joined the Daily Mail in Charleston, where he became a reporter as well as a telegraph editor. In 1933 he was hired by the Associated Press, and worked in its Charleston bureau as a reporter and state editor. He transfered to AP's Washington bureau two years later, and after another two years became AP's foreign cables deskman in New York. In 1938 he was sent to Europe as a war correspondent. Three years later he received the first National Headliners Club award ever given. In 1942 Laurence E. Allen was awarded the PP in the category of "Telegraphic Reporting (International)" for his correspondence from the British Mediterranean Fleet. Anderson, David Poole, born on May 6, 1929, in Troy, N.Y., grew up in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. Shortly after graduation from Holy Cross College in 1951, he began his career as a sports journalist with the Brooklyn Eagle. When that paper disappeared in 1955, Anderson joined the sports staff of the New York Journal-American and remained there for eleven years until it, too, suspended publication. He came to the New York Times in 1966 as a general assignment reporter in the sports department. The year before he had won a Dutton Award for the best magazine sports story.

Anderson - Anderson Anderson, Jackson Northman, born on October 19, 1922, in Long Beach, Ca., grew up in Cottonwood, a small town outside Salt Lake City, Ut. From his early childhood he was interested in newspaper work, and at the age of twelve he edited the Boy Scout page of the Deseret News, a paper owned by the Mormon church. He soon advanced to a $-seven-a-week job with the Eagle in Murray, Utah. Anderson was president of the student body in high school, working in his spare time as a reporter. By the time he was eighteen he joined the staff of the Tribune in Salt Lake City. He attended the University of Utah for a brief period, from 1940-41. In 1943 Anderson finished his ministry and enrolled at the Merchant Marine Officers' training school as a cadet midshipman. After about seven months of service he managed to persuade the Deseret News to accredit him as a foreign correspondent in China. After World War II, he served with the Quartermaster Corps until 1947, working on military newspapers and Armed Forces Radio. After his discharge from the army, he traveled to Washington where he started working for the columnist Drew Pearson. For about a decade Anderson was seldom credited in Pearson's column, 'Washington Merry-Go-Round,' for more than routine reportorial contributions. Anderson continued the column after Drew Pearson's death in 1969. Early in 1972 several of his articles on the U.S. policy during the Indian-Pakistani war made headlines around the world. In 1972 Jackson N. Anderson was the PPW in the category "National Reporting" for articles about American policy decisionmaking in Washington, D.C. Anderson, Maxwell, born on December 15, 1888, in Atlantic, Pa., attended the University of North Dakota. While still in college he saw a stage play for the first time. Although he did join the college dramatic society, wrote and acted in the senior class play, he wanted at that time only to write poetry. After graduating in 1911, he went to California and taught English while earning his M.A. degree at Stanford University. For three years he was an instructor in English in the Polytechnic High School in San Francisco. The urge to write became stronger, and he decided on newspaper work for his career. He worked first on the Herald in Grand Forks, North Dakota, then as editorial writer on the San Francisco Bulletin, and later on the San Francisco Chronicle. In 1918 Anderson went east, at the invitation of Alvin Johnson, of the New Republic staff who had liked one of his poems, "Sic Semper". He continued to write poems and articles and occasionally dramatic criticisms for the New Republic, then

went to the New York Evening Globe as an editorial writer, and finally joined the editorial staff of the New York World. On the World, Anderson met Lawrence Stallings, a book reviewer, to whom he showed his first play, The White Desert. Stallings liked it and helped to find a producer for it. Despite a discouraging reception of the play, Anderson intended to go right on writing plays. In 1925, the year a collection of his poems, You Who Have Dreams, was published, Anderson resigned from the World to concentrate on his work as a playwright.

Meanwhile Beveridge had become known in his state as a political orator. Subsequently, in 1899, he was elected to the United States Senate as a representative of the Republican party.

Connelly, Marcus C., bom on December 13, 1890, in McKeesport, Pa., developed his love for the theatre very early as his home - a hotel his parents owned - was patronized by touring theatrical companies, circus troupes, and vaudeville performers. After his father died of pneumonia in 1902, Connelly was sent to Trinity Hall, a boarding school in Washington, Pa., where he remained until 1907. Because of the bankruptcy of his family's hotel he gave up plans for Harvard University and moved with his mother to Pittsburgh, where they lived with relatives for a time. Connelly landed his first job with the Pittsburgh Press, moved on to the Pittsburgh office of the Associated Press, and finally became a reporter for the Pittsburgh Gazette Times, where his duties included serving as second-string drama critic and writing a Sunday humor column. After hours he was a director-stage manager of the monthly entertainments of the Pittsburgh Athletic Association and created several of their skits.

He attended schools in England and earned an engineering degree from the University of Manchester. Afterwards he worked for some time at a Westinghouse Electric plant near that city before turning to journalism, too. His mother was an American from Boston who worked as the first New York Times correspondent in Rome. At her death in 1916, she was succeeded in that post by her elder daughter, Elizabeth, who resigned upon marrying in 1922. Now Arnaldo Cortesi was appointed her successor by the publisher of the Times, who had met the young man during a visit to Italy. Since that time, he covered the Italian capital for many years. In his dispatches from Rome he reported on the rise of Mussolini as Italy's dictator and the consolidation of the Fascist regime. Moreover he was among the first observers to see that Mussolini would join forces with Hitler. Seventeen years after he had become the New York Times correspondent in Rome, Mussolini gave the order that Italian citizens were not allowed to represent foreign news organizations in Italy. So the Times transferred Cortesi to Geneva and Mexico City for short stints and sent him to Buenos Aires in 1941. In this city he was able to observe the upcoming Peron regime towards the end of World War II. When the first of his articles on this topic was pub-

Cortes - Cramer lished early in June, 1945, in the New York Times, Cortesi was picked up and taken to police headquarters hours before the U.S. embassy was able to obtain his release.

He was sent to Cairo for the Christmas Day 1977 negotiations between Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin, and remained as the Philadelphia Inquirer's Middle East correspondent. When most reporters were willing to wait in Israel for the military authorities to provide escorted tours of the front lines where Israeli soldiers had invaded southern Lebanon, Richard Ben Cramer could be found at the front line, alone. When the invasion began in the spring of 1978, Cramer immediately and instinctively set out from Tel Aviv for the front in a hired taxi, but the Israeli army blocked the way. Cramer ordered the taxi to Tel Aviv's airport, caught the first available flight to Athens, changed planes for Beirut and hit the Lebanese ground running for a taxi. It took him another day of dogged effort until he alighted from the taxi and walked, in suit and tie, the two miles across no-man's land. At the last Fatah commando checkpoint he was warned that the Israeli were very near. He walked all by himself between the two sides. Richard B.
