--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucinda Franks, a former staff writer for The New York Times, has written
regularly for The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic
and other publications. She was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize
for national reporting, and has won many other awards. The Pulitzer was
for writing a five-part series on the anti-Vietnam terrorist group,The
Weatherman, which blew up three of their members in a New York townhouse
that they had turned into a bomb factory. She began her career in London
with United Press International, where she was at first assigned beauty
contests and donkey shows, a gig she soon grew tired of and abruptly ended
by taking her vacation in the uneasy British province of Northern Ireland;
she was present as sectarian violence broke out and UPI let her stay,
suspending their rule that women could not report from war zones.
