3. Here's a Link.....
... to a discussion about it on the LBN board:

Basically, the prize was for articles that praised Josef Stalin at a time when thousands of Ukranians were dying. The Times is saying that if the Pulitzer folks want the award returned, they won't fight it.

2. No, but GHWB should give up any awards he's won,
for supporting Saddam Hussein, Manuel Noreiga, and other right-wing despots.

Bush senior retires from Carlyle post

By James Politi
Published: October 21 2003 5:00 | Last Updated: October 21 2003 5:00


George Bush, former US president, is retiring from his position as senior adviser to the Carlyle Group, officials at the well-connected Washington-based private equity firm said yesterday.

Mr Bush, whose son George W Bush is the current US president, had been a senior adviser to Carlyle's Asia Advisory Board since 1999. Carlyle offered no particular explanation for the retirement of Mr Bush, other than his age and desire to move on to other endeavours.
