War reporting garnered Pulitzer
Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Halberstam, a resourceful reporter and elegant writer who brought war, politics, journalism, sports, and other contemporary topics vividly to life, died yesterday in a car crash in Northern California.
Mr. Halberstam, who was 73, was killed in Menlo Park south of San Francisco when another vehicle broadsided the car in which he was a passenger. Mr. Halberstam was declared dead at the scene. The driver of his car, a graduate student at the University of California at Berkeley, and the driver of the other car suffered minor injuries.
Mr. Halberstam was reportedly on his way to interview former New York Giants quarterback Y.A. Tittle for a book he was writing about the 1958 NFL championship between Tittle's Giants and the Baltimore Colts in what many refer to as the greatest football game ever played. click title for article
