Ghost Wars Wins Pulitzer Prize

In December 2004, we wrote about Steve Coll's Ghost Wars, a terrific book about CIA in Afghanistan.

Mr. Coll has just been awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize in the non-fiction category for this book. The award is well-earned.

Speaking of books, we note with deep sorrow the passing of Nobel laureate Saul Bellow. We've regrettably only read his astonishing book Ravelstein, but now will seek out his other classics too.
