The Washington Post won six Pulitzer Prizes on Monday, including the public service medal for exposing shoddy treatment of America's war wounded at Walter Reed hospital, and the breaking-news award for coverage of the Virginia Tech massacre.
The New York Times received two Pulitzers: one for investigative reporting, for stories on toxic ingredients in medicine and other products imported from China, and one for explanatory reporting, for examining the ethical issues surrounding DNA testing.

Also, Iowa City would like you to know that no fewer than three Pulitzer Prize-winners had ties, whether as alumni or as faculty, to the University of Iowa. (It's no surprise, really -- they have the most respected writing programs in the world, in fact.)

NPR's "All Things Considered" had WaPo journalist Gene Weingarten on again yesterday; he, of course, won the Pulitzer in Feature Writing for his piece in which he convinced violinist Joshua Bell to play in a lowly train station. Amazing!
