Hoops with the Devil, Other Dangerous Men Instability and peril are everywhere in the 11 stories in Geoffrey Becker '80's Dangerous Men. Christine, a mechanic in "Daddy D. and Short Time," lives the sort of aimless, half-desperate life led by the majority of the characters in this collection of stories, which won the 15th Annual Drue Heinz Literature Prize in 1995.		Fresh Prints Ray Perkins Jr. '64 has a bit of fun but also a serious undertone in his book Logic and Mr. Limbaugh, an examination of fallacious reasoning and how to identify it.
		A Prized Accomplishment For the fifth time in six years, a Colby alumnus has won the Pulitzer Prize. Just before press time, Colby learned that Alan Taylor '77 has received the Pulitzer for history for his book William Cooper's Town: Power and Persuasion on the Frontier of the Early American Republic. Currently a professor of history at the University of California at Davis, Taylor previously taught at Boston University, the College of William and Mary and at Colby. He is also the author of Liberty Men and Great Proprietors: The Revolutionary Settlement on the Maine Frontier, 1760-1820 (University of North Carolina, 1990). Earlier this spring he won Columbia University's Bancroft Prize in American history. Taylor follows previous Pulitzer-winning Colbians Doris Kearns Goodwin '64 (1995, history), E. Annie Proulx '57 (1994, fiction), Robert Capers '71 (1992, journalism) and Gregory White Smith '73 (1991, biography).
