...pride and the legacy of Martin Luther. Other awards: in general local reporting, to Long Island's Newsday for examining federal intervention in the medical treatment of severely handicapped children, most notably in the much litigated case of Baby Jane Doe; in editorial writing, to Editor Albert Scardino, 35, of the weekly Georgia Gazette (circ. 2,500), largely for attacks on official wrongdoing; in feature writing, to Seattle Times Reporter Peter Mark Rinearson, 29, for describing the development of the Boeing 757 passenger jet; in feature photography, to Anthony Suau, 27, of the Denver Post, primarily for pictures...
...small ever to qualify for a ten best list but that vigorously pursue issues in their communities. These dailies and weeklies are the traditional training ground for big-city journalists. The best of them, moreover, hold on to some dedicated staffers who could work practically anywhere. Editor Albert Scardino of the weekly Georgia Gazette, who won a Pulitzer Prize last week, is a graduate of Columbia and the University of California at Berkeley who worked for the Associated Press, the Baltimore Sun and the Atlanta Constitution.

The clerk, a romantic idealist named George Garga (Don Scardino), offers to sell Rimbaud's critique, but proudly announces that his own cannot be bought...
Pacino trundles Serpico-style to Greenwich Village and sets up shop. He spends days with his nextdoor neighbor, Ted (Don Scardino), a gay playwright ("you know, boy meets boy, boy loses boy, boy gets analyst") who is scared to death of cruising, preferring to frequent more traditional gay cafes that Friedkin never shows. Nights, Pacino cruises, donning his leather outfit like a pudgy boy pulling on his first Halloween costume. Later, of course, the leather will no longer be a costume and Pacino will stop fumbling with the cruising paraphernalia. He will fit into the crowd in that hole across...
