...better able to cope with the situation than others. The day after Stanley Penn and Monroe Karmin won a Pulitzer prize for their 1966 investigative reports on gambling in the Bahamas (one of four won by the Journal in the past eight years), an editor sent Penn a note. It was not to congratulate him but to remind him to attend the annual meeting of a minor movie company. A colleague intercepted the note en route and appended the phrase, "Sic transit gloria mundi."
