Kirkwood Ave. The main attraction of the event is Saperston's film, "The Journey," which documents a cross-country road trip and the people he met along the way.

By Alyson Brodsy and Patrice Worthy · Tuesday, April 8,2003 1:58 a.m.

Out of the 80 or so protesters who arrived in attempts to disrupt the commemoration of an Abraham Lincoln statue in Richmond, Va., I wonder: How many actually fought in the Civil War? The statue is intended to recognize Lincoln's trip to the once-confederate state in 1865, at the beginning of reconstruction. Members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans have decried the statue as honoring an invader rather than a friend. To those people, we say, "Get over it."

Epic works win Pulitzer Prizes

By Alyson Brodsy and Hillel Italie · Tuesday, April 8,2003 12:27 a.m.

The fiction prize went to Jeffrey Eugenides for "Middlesex," a story of sexual and ethnic identity. Big books prevailed in the arts. Caro's work runs 1,100 pages, Eugenides' more than 500 pages and the winner for history, Rick Atkinson's "An Army at Dawn," is just over 700 pages. Reaching Atkinson, whose book is the first of a planned World War II trilogy, proved especially challenging.
