As to your statement that he may have falsely claimed to have won a Pulitzer, the man is the author of a widely used journalism textbook that has gone through several editions since first publication in the 1970s, and he was a professor at Columbia University for many years. He went there after teaching journalism at the University of Kansas in the 1960s. People like that don't lie about winnning Pulitzers. On the other hand, people who don't know basic things like that, are loose with facts as well as language, and are given to libel (anonymously, of course), have always had trouble with Mencher's courses and his approach to journalism. He is still living, by the way. Next time I talk to him I will ask him how many Pulitzers his students have won. > >Date: Sun, 7 May 2000 11:54:05 EDT >From: ARTHURWG@aol.com >Subject: Re: [Leica] Leica Users digest V17 #69/mencher >Message-ID: <c9.45ef000.2646eb9d@aol.com> >References: > >.....then again, he may have lied about the Pulitzer.
