Refreshing Candor. Last week the stamina of the Deseret News's Price correspondent paid off again—in a more handsome manner. For "distinguished"' reporting under deadline pressure, Robert David Mullins won one of journalism's most coveted awards, a Pulitzer Prize. The Deseret News, which had been aching to even the score with the Tribune,* knew just how to react: it plastered self-congratulations all over the paper. But hardworking Correspondent Mullins. who was scooped on the major portions of his story, could hardly understand what all the shouting was about. Said he with refreshing candor: "I'm stunned with disbelief."
* Which won a similar Pulitzer in 1958 for its coverage of the airline disaster over the Grand Canyon that took 128 lives.
