The advisory board had recommended a prize in national reporting to the Providence Journal-Bulletin's Jack White, 31, who broke details of President Nixon's minuscule income tax payments in 1970 and 1971.

He often brings color to his cheeks by running in place 200 times before a press conference -an exercise he performed for his TV conversation last week. "The things I do for recreation," he says, "relate to the presidency...
