ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: In fact, the winner of this year's Pulitzer for fiction has pulled off a double coup. Just yesterday, he learned that his novel Independence Day also won the Penn Faulkner award. The author is Richard Ford, who also wrote the Sports Writer and Rock Springs, among other books. He joins us now in New Orleans. Welcome and congratulations. RICHARD FORD, Author: (New Orleans) Thank you, Ms. Farnsworth. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: What's it like to win a Pulitzer Prize and a Penn Faulkner award? RICHARD FORD: Well, you mean, after I got over the presumption that they'd called the wrong guy? ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Right. RICHARD FORD: Well, it was a thrill actually. I, I was surprised. The Pulitzer Committee had never called me before, so I was sort of caught unexpectedly.

26. President Gerald Ford Speech - Pardoning Richard Nixon ford announces and explains his controversial decision. http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/ford.htm

President Ford announces the pardon on television. On September 8, 1974, one month after President Richard Nixon resigned the presidency amid the Watergate scandal, his successor, President Gerald R. Ford, announced his decision to grant Nixon a full pardon for any crimes he may have committed while in office. Page 1 of the Pardon Page 2 of the Pardon The Watergate scandal stemmed from a break-in that occurred on the night of June 17, 1972, when five burglars entered the Democratic National Committee offices at the Watergate office complex in Washington. Subsequent investigations revealed the burglars were actually agents hired by Nixon's Committee to Re-elect the President. A long chain of events then followed in which the President and top aides became involved in an extensive coverup of White House sanctioned illegal political activities. The coverup snowballed as Nixon and White House aides attempted to use the prestige and power of the presidency to obstruct justice. After a two year battle against the news media, government agencies, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives and the U.S. Supreme Court, Nixon wound up resigning amid the likelihood that he would not survive a full impeachment vote in the Congress.

July 13, 1997 Evasive Maneuvers By MICHAEL GORRA In three long stories, Richard Ford explores the closely guarded world of male ritual More on Richard Ford from The New York Times Archives WOMEN WITH MEN Three Stories. By Richard Ford. 255 pp. New York: Alfred A. Knopf. $23. ichard Ford is among the most traditional of contemporary American writers and also among the most original. Original because traditional: in the sense that T. S. Eliot meant when he wrote that ''not only the best, but the most individual parts'' of a writer's work ''may be those in which the dead . . . his ancestors, assert their immortality most vigorously.'' Ford's sinewy and distinctively American voice contains the echoing tones of many ancestors. But the title of this new book of three long stories both invokes and marks his difference from one predecessor in particular. ''Women With Men'': in these two nouns and a preposition one hears the fading report of Hemingway's ''Men Without Women,'' the 1927 collection that included not only ''The Killers'' but stories about boxing and bullfighting as well. And Ford's title does indeed signal an allegiance to the Hemingway legacy, or at least a part of it his fascination with a world of male rituals that has, in the past, led him to write about duck hunting and car theft and fishing and football. But Ford writes ''with,'' not ''without,'' and though his three protagonists are, in fact, all men, his decision to start with the word ''women'' seems appropriate. In Hemingway's collection, one story does, famously, center on the relations between the sexes: ''Hills Like White Elephants,'' in which a man and a woman discuss an abortion without ever giving that ''awfully simple operation'' a name. The woman is distraught, the man reassuring yet in reading you know that he sees the woman's pregnancy as incidental to his own life and even to his relationship with her. Ford's men aren't like that.

This physical stature is fitting for a man widely considered to be a literary giant. Early in his career, Ford was compared to Faulkner, probably for the sole reason that they both shared a southern heritage. (This despite the fact that Ford moved from the south at his earliest opportunity. "I never wanted to believe that because of the accident of birth I had to be this way or that way," he says). Later it was Hemingway he was compared to, and then Updike. Hopefully the time has come where we can appreciate the Pulitzer Prize-winning author as the truly unique writer that he is. His books and short stories are awe-inspiring and contain the kind of meticulous and carefully crafted psychological storytelling that many writers aspire to. Like all geniuses, he somehow makes it look easy. Ford spends the bulk of his time in Maine, New Orleans, and Montana, but I am able to catch up with him in Philadelphia because he is currently on tour for his new novel, the third installment of a series about his greatest and most famous protagonist, the New Jersian real estate agent Frank Bascombe.

This post is part of the campaign's blog series , which features posts by concerned writers, op-eds, Q and As, and tips about how you can get involved to make sure those same owners and editors know that book sections matter. Q : You signed the recent petition to protect Atlanta's book review. Do you have any thoughts on this trend of newspapers cutting back their book sections? A : I think that rapacity and the urge to silence the national discourse about American culture has been dear to the heart of the Hearsts and the McCormicks. So that it should bubble up again in the heart of the nouveau riche people who run the Atlanta Journal Constitution should not surprise us. But I mean it's erosive of our ability to both know our culture and to appreciate it and to criticize it, and that's exactly what those Republicans don't want us to be doing. I'm glad the petition is going somewhere. Q : Yeah, it's getting close to 4,000 signatures in addition to you there's Reynolds Price, and Bobbie Ann Mason, Chris Offutt

Interview with Richard Ford by Barbara Shoup Appears in Other Voices #31 I have long been a fan of Richard Ford's fiction: and when I learned he'd be a part of the 1997-98 Butler University's Visiting Writers Series, I asked if he would consider being interviewed by my fiction workshop there for Other Voices. He graciously agreed to have breakfast with us the morning after his reading. To prepare for our meeting, all of my students read The Sportswriter. They divided the rest of Ford's books among themselves, so that at least one person would have read each of his books by the time of his visit. The students found Ford's work at the same time accessible and challenging; his books and stories triggered lively class discussions and caused them to contemplate their own lives with new understanding. Though I love the idea of making literature come alive and make every effort to make that happen for my students, I'm always a little anxious when I set such an experience in motion. I've been dissapointed more than once, when writers whose work I admire turn out to be boring, egocentric or even mean-spirited. But Richard Ford was as engaging and large-hearted as his work. A tall, lanky man, at the same time low-key and passionate, he drew my star-struck students into asking the questions they were at first too shy to ask. The following captures the essence of our conversation with him. OV: Do you consider yourself a Southern writer?

Review Bibliography Discussion Home Links ... News American beauty (Circa 1955) Richard Ford New York Times Book Review; New York; Apr 9, 2000 As "Revolutionary Road" approaches its 40th year in print, it seems odd to imagine readers opening it for the first time. So primary and forceful have been this novel's appeal and effects pon two generations of us that to not already know Richard Yates's great book seems incongruous, and handing it over cold feels clumsy; a bit like introducing a sage old friend to a precocious new friend: we almost would rather not, for all the crucial things that cannot be thought and said again. And yet of course we must, since great books, like great friends, are to be shared. Richard Yates was born in Yonkers, N.Y., in 1926, and died in 1992 in the Veterans Administration Hospital in Birmingham, Ala. He did not attend college after high school; served in the Army during World War II; was twice divorced and was the father of three daughters. For a time after the war he worked as a publicity writer for the Remington Rand Corporation, and for a brief period in the late 60's served as a speechwriter for Senator Robert Kennedy. But for the most part Yates was solely a writer, only occasionally supplementing his income by teaching and by writing for the movies. During his writing life he wrote seven novels (including "Revolutionary Road") and two books of short stories, many of which have been anthologized and are richly admired by readers as models of the form.

Watergate Store Rate This Page Comments President Ford's Pardon of Richard Nixon September 8, 1974 Listen to Ford read the Pardon Full Text of the Pardon Proclamation Note: The proclamation granted Nixon a pardon for all offenses from January 20, 1969, the day he was first inaugurated as president. In reading the proclamation on national television, Ford inadvertently said 'July 20'. The text of the proclamation takes precedence. Ladies and gentlemen: I have come to a decision which I felt I should tell you and all of my fellow American citizens, as soon as I was certain in my own mind and in my own conscience that it is the right thing to do. I have learned already in this office that the difficult decisions always come to this desk. I must admit that many of them do not look at all the same as the hypothetical questions that I have answered freely and perhaps too fast on previous occasions. My customary policy is to try and get all the facts and to consider the opinions of my countrymen and to take counsel with my most valued friends. But these seldom agree, and in the end, the decision is mine. To procrastinate, to agonize, and to wait for a more favorable turn of events that may never come or more compelling external pressures that may as well be wrong as right, is itself a decision of sorts and a weak and potentially dangerous course for a President to follow.
