MILESTONES, Page 23
DIED. Kirk Scharfenberg, 48, editor at the Boston Globe who
shared a Pulitzer Prize in 1984 for a series on racism; of
cancer; in Boston. Scharfenberg was the author of what he called
"maybe the most notable gaffe in recent newspaper history." As
an in-house joke, he sent through a 1980 editorial about
President Carter's economic plan with the headline MUSH FROM THE
WIMP, thinking it would be removed. Instead, the headline
appeared in 161,000 copies of the Globe.
