don’t feel like we need to come to them every
five minutes and make sure everything we do is
OK. I feel like we are our own bosses as far as
our own (magazine) goes ”
Shipp and Brown’s lifestyles have changed
dramatically as well. The Texas country music-
lovers said they initially became friends after
Brown hired Shipp as a sports
writer at The Battalion, and they
began hanging out and going to
concerts together. Now they have
found that their late-night party
ing has been abruptly cut off.

because, used to, we could stay

Shipp said. “1 feel like an old

Shipp and Brown said they are
able to work so well together
because of their different ways of
seeing things.

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
Writer Edward P. Jones,
Anne Applebaum among
Pulitzer Prize arts winners
NEW YORK (AP) — Stories of oppression both
home and abroad were rewarded with Pulitzer
Prizes on Monday.
Edward P Jones won the fiction prize for “The
Known World," a novel about a black slave
owner. In history, the winner was Steven Hahn
for “A Nation Under Our Feet: Black Political
Struggles in the Rural South From Slavery to the
Great Migration.”
Anne Applebaum’s “Gulag," a history of the
brutal Soviet labor camps, won for general non
fiction, while another book about the Soviet
Union, William Taubman’s “Khrushchev," was
cited for biography.
“There is still so much to tell about the Soviet
Union,” said Applebaum, a columnist and member
of the editorial board at The Washington Post.
“There are thousands of pages of archives that
haven’t been read. This is something that only
opened up a decade ago.”
The Pulitzer for drama went to Doug Wright for
“I Am My Own Wife," the tale of a real-life
German transvestite who survived both the
Nazis and the Communists.
“I am in a state of disbelief,” said Wright, who
was directing a play in the East Village when he
