CONGRATS TO DAVID EVANS FOR WINNING YET ANOTHER INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM AWARD.

New York Times, Washington Post Lead in Polk Journalism Awards
Feb. 21 (Bloomberg) -- The New York Times and Washington Post took the most prizes in the George Polk Awards in Journalism, winning two awards each.

The Times was cited for excellence in commentary and business reporting, according to a statement issued by Long Island University, which administers the awards. The Washington Post won awards for national and foreign reporting.

The 14 awards were given for coverage of issues including the Central Intelligence Agency's interrogation techniques and the 1964 murders of three civil rights activists in Mississippi. The prizes, created in 1949, honor the CBS correspondent who was murdered while covering the civil war in Greece in 1948.

``The caliber of work produced by this year's Polk Award winners reminds us that investigative journalism is vital to our democracy and society,'' Long Island University President David Steinberg said in the statement.

Bloomberg News won the health reporting prize for its coverage of the U.S. clinical trial system that exploited poor, mostly minority citizens, the statement said. The stories led to a federal review of human testing and to the resignation of top executives at a private testing center.

The Jackson, Mississippi-based Clarion-Ledger won the justice reporting award for investigating the 1964 murders of the civil rights activists.

The international reporting honor was given to the Chicago Tribune for an investigation of a massacre of 12 Nepalese men in Iraq. ABC News won the television reporting award for uncovering CIA interrogation techniques used in secret detention facilities which many experts consider to be torture, the statement said.

Career Award

Other winners include the San Diego Union-Tribune for political reporting, the New Orleans Times-Picayune for metropolitan reporting and the San Francisco Bay Guardian for local reporting. Independent radio producer JoAnn Mar won for radio reporting based on her one-hour documentary about the privatization of the prison system.

The George Polk Career Award was given to documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman, whose works include ``High School'' and ``Titicut Follies.'' The Nation magazine publisher emeritus Victor Navasky won the book award for his memoir, ``A Matter of Opinion.''

Dana Priest of the Washington Post won the national reporting award for a series of 10 articles uncovering the existence of secret CIA-run prisons. Joe Stephens and David Ottaway, also at the Washington Post, won foreign reporting honors for documenting claims that the U.S. reconstruction process in Afghanistan was a sham.

(Steve Sayre)THE SATAN KILLER imdb.com

THE SATAN KILLER (1993) - If one could fart out a film, it would probably look and smell like this one. An alcoholic detective (Steve Sayre) goes off the deep end after his fiance is brutally murdered by a serial murderer dubbed the "Satan Killer" (James Westbrook) by the press. While the Satan Killer (aka "Jimbo") keeps going on a killing spree, shooting men, stabbing and raping women and hitting a handicapped wheelchair-bound man over the head with a beer bottle (!), the detective is also leaving a trail of bodies in his search for the killer, shooting everyone who gets in his way (including a poker player and a pimp who is bitch-slapping his whore). He eventually joins forces with a private detective (Billy Franklin) and a male nurse (Nick Delon) in his search for the killer, who really does nothing that can even be called Satanic except rape and kill (Don't be fooled by the cover box art). Alas, neither of them last very long as they are shotgunned down by the killer. As a matter of fact, the detective kills more people than the Satan Killer himself! Sloppily acted (many one-take shots are apparent), edited with what looks like a rusty spoon, hilariously-performed action sequences, sound recorded through a coffee can, bad early-90's music and filled with plenty of nudity and blood, this is truly a Z-movie fan's dream. Director Stephen Calamari (no squid jokes please) is actually a pseudonym for lead actor Steve Sayre (and why is he wearing a black stocking on his right leg during his sex scene?). He does neither very well. Sayre also wears the same yellow shirt throughout the film. Keep an eye out for it. You'll have some fun. This film is very funny if you watch it in the right frame of mind. But, I think it's illegal to reach that state. Also starring Belinda Creason and Cindy Healy. Also known as DEATH PENALTY. An A.I.P. Home Video Release. Not Rated
