- <p>1993's Pulitzer winners tell moving tales of war and loss
- </p>
- <p> Journalists who win Pulitzer Prizes often address large
- issues, but the most remarkable Pulitzer winner this year treated
- a keenly personal subject. George Lardner of the Washington Post
- won the feature-writing award for his article on the murder of
- a promising young woman. The woman was Lardner's daughter.
- </p>
- <p> Other winners included Roy Gutman of Newsday and John
- Burns of the New York Times, who shared an international
- reporting prize for their dispatches from Bosnia. Burns was not
- on the list of finalists, and there were allegations that the
- Times applied last-minute pressure to the Pulitzer jury. David
- McCullough won the biography prize for Truman, the book that
- triggered the "I'm Truman...No, I'm Truman" cross talk
- during last year's presidential campaign. A surprise came with
- an award to Robert Olen Butler for his short-story collection
- seen through the eyes of exiled Vietnamese, A Good Scent from
- a Strange Mountain. And playwright Tony Kushner was cited for
- Angels in America: Millennium Approaches, his epic about aids
- and the American soul. Kushner released a statement that read
- in part: "FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABULOUS!"
