...News Service. This year Baker won the Pulitzer Prize, journalism's highest award, for commentary. It was the first time a writer who is considered basically a humorist received the commentary award since it was established as a separate Pulitzer in 1970. Previous recipients have included the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Marquis Childs, the New York Times's William Safire, the Washington Post Writers Group's George Will and other sober, important, no-nonsense dispensers of Op Ed-page wisdom...
...lifted slightly last week, but in a way that was at once tragic and bizarre. After a three-year refusal by Cambodia's new rulers to admit Western news correspondents to Democratic Kampuchea-as Cambodia now calls itself-two American reporters, Richard Dudman of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Elizabeth Becker of the Washington Post, returned to the U.S. with detailed accounts of a two-week visit.

He came to New York City and TIME as a writer in 1939. Equally at home in subjects as diverse as politics, religion, music, foreign affairs and the classics, Alexander became assistant managing editor in 1946 and managing editor three years later...
...pleasant suburb of Cedar Rapids, where his wife was able to land a teaching job. After helping more than 100 TV stations to retool their newscasts, Magid and his staff of 117 have sold their services to nearly 40 newspapers in the past three years, including the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the Chicago Daily News. For print clients, the Magid team undertakes strenuous audience polling, runs the results through a computer and issues recommendations-generally for more consumer coverage, zippier graphics and writing style, more local news and self-help features, less national and international news.
