...process sometimes starts before the story. John Kolesar, now managing editor of the Courier-Post in Cherry Hill, N.J., recalls sitting on a committee at the Bergen Record to draw up a list of criteria for selecting projects that could win a Pulitzer. The Miami Herald a few years ago dispatched an editor to Manhattan to check out winning entries and how they were packaged. The choice of a hot subject can be helpful; AIDS and TV evangelists were popular this year. Prizemanship strategies have even built up a genre of newspaper writing: the exhaustive multi-part investigation...

...attention back to Ronald Reagan, who had seemed to be fading from view as the primary campaigns accelerated. Like his aides who now stand indicted, the President remained stubbornly defiant as his contra policy came close to collapsing. Although earlier in the week he assiduously lobbied leaders on Capitol Hill to renew the funding for his "Freedom Fighters," Reagan's attitude toward Congress and the contras remained unchanged.

Under the direction of two Democratic leaders -- Representative Dan Rostenkowski of Illinois and Senator Lloyd Bentsen of Texas -- the 199 members of the committee, along with 300 or so staffers and 100 briefcase carriers sent over by the White House, have been meeting in 17 subgroups in an all-out effort...

...issue of what to do about trade has long pitted the White House against Congress. The Reagan Administration philosophically embraces free trade, but the President has been under pressure from Capitol Hill to protect U.S. business interests. Rather than give Congress an excuse to pass protectionist legislation, the White House has taken a fairly tough line, bringing 17 actions since 1985 against nations deemed to be engaging in unfair trade practices. The most dramatic censure came last year, when the Administration imposed $300 million worth of sanctions against Japanese products after deciding that Tokyo had reneged on parts...
