...awarding of the 58th annual Pulitzer Prizes announced last week. 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. Although his scoop was the first in a series of revelations about questionable presidential tax deductions, White's access to confidential returns was a stark violation of Internal Revenue Service regulations; White has refused to say how or where he secured the Nixon returns...
Radcliffe finally knotted things after 9:33 in the contest. Nancy Cochran carried the ball through the center deep inside N.U. territory. Cochran then made a neat scoop pass to wing Holly Loring, who put on a burst of speed to break in on the N.U. goalie and tie the score...
...from the first with the need for caution?"When in doubt, leave it out," their editors ordered?and had decided early to forgo generalizations in favor of only the specific and solid.

Kissinger firmly insists that emigration is a domestic Soviet issue, and he has fought all efforts to tie it to the trade legislation that he considers...
...late, however, the Kissinger magic has come under attack as a kind of international legerdemain that is at least partly mere illusion. Critics, including Scoop Jackson and liberal academicians, charge that detente has been unproductive, that Kissinger's personal style of diplomacy pays more attention to principals than principles, that he has neglected relations with such proven allies as Europe and Japan for deals with America's ideological enemies in Moscow and Peking. They are hard problems, partly because final judgments remain to be uncovered by events...
