AWARD RECIPIENT: R.C. Longworth
AWARD RECIPIENT AFFILIATION: The Chicago Tribune
AWARD HONORED WORK: “Wounded Guardian”
Longworth does a masterful job of describing and analyzing the U.N.’s new role in the world, pointing out the sometimes disastrous flaws in its organization and operations, and making recommendations for improvements. His editors are to be commended for allowing him to take the story beyond bureaucracy-bound U.N. headquarters in New York to Cyprus, ex-Yugoslavia, Somalia and El Salvador to examine the undertakings of this “wounded guardian” in the world’s hot spots.
