| biography:
| Journalist, born in the New York City borough of Queens, New York, USA. Starting as a sportswriter for the New York Herald Tribune, he evolved into a self-described ‘street reporter’. His columns, for a sequence of New York papers, offered vignettes, character sketches, and commentary, in a scrappy, colloquial style. Also a novelist, he won a 1986 Pulitzer Prize for commentary. |
