The staff of the Philadelphia Inquirer won its sixth straight Pulitzer Prize yesterday; this time for general local reporting of the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. More than 80 staff members worked on the story, Florida journalists captured the prestigious Pulitzers for Investigations of the Church of Scientology and a Roman Catholic order of monks, and for sensitive feature articles by a Miami Herald staff writer, Madeleine Blais, of the Herald's Tropic magazine, won the feature writing award with entries that ranged from a profile of playwright Tennessee to a story about the cancer-plagued Southeriand family of Miami. St, Petersburg Times reporters Bette Swenson Orsini and Charles Stafford won the national reporting award for an investigation Into the Church of Scientology. During the investigation, letters were sent to Orsini's editors accusing her of biased, false writing and demanding she be fired. She received harassing calls at home and work.

A poison-pen campaign was mounted against her husband, the director of a small charity. "In investigative reporting sometimes you're writing what people would rather not see written and you're open to attack," Orsini said. "But it's not easy to take. It's part of the business you choose to be in." The former Tallahassee bureau chief for Gannett News Service, John lianchette, shared the meritorious public service award with two other Gannett News Service reporters for a series on the mismangement of contributions intended for a Catholic shrine. The series told how the Pauline Fathers, an order of Polish monks, used donations intended for a shrine in Pennsylvania for personal luxuries and other purposes and how the Catholic Church tried to cover up the scandal.

The Miami Herald also was nominated by the Pulitzer Prize jurors for the public service award for disclosures of medical incompetence, malfeasance and abuse, and also for a series on police brutality. The Pulitzer for fiction went to Norman Mailer for "The Executioner's Song," the story of Utah convict Gary Gilmore and his execution by firing squad. Mailer and his publisher called the Gilmore book fiction, but many critics considered it non-fiction since It tells the story of real people involved in real events. "Talley's Folly," Lanford Wilson's romantic comedy about a Jewish accountant from St. Louis, was awarded the prize in drama.

Three Mile Island also played a role in Ellen Goodman's prize for commentary. Her Boston Globe col. tt-, 4 10 l'n i. IA i I 1 0,:) (t 2.4 i Li, -irk" i tii, Li f. 4,0..

Wright has said cartoons should "slam somebody between the eyes with no subtlety at all." Here is a sampling of cartoons that illustrates these views.

dared Howard Kleinberg, editor of the Miami News. Kleinberg was a beginner in the sports department in 1952, when Wright was hired to work as a copy boy. "I had this unshakeable notion that to draw a comic strip, you had to start as a copy boy," Wright told a reporter from Miami Magazine last year. Wright later supervised the photo department, and was responsible for everything pictorial that went into the paper. In 1956 he was drafted into the Army.

He spent two years at Fort Jackson in Columbia, S.C., sending back to the paper illustrations of his impressions of Army life. "I showed the rigidity" of that life, he recalled last night. "It was traumatic for me to have to adjust to Army life." His winning cartoons were cited by the Pulitzer board "for distinguished example of a cartoonist's work." They were judged on "an idea made clearly apparent good drawing and striking pictorial effect intended to be helpful to some commendable cause of public importance." "Don won because he's the best, the most creative cartoonist in the country," said Louis Salome, editorial page editor. As his cartoons demonstrate, Wright didn't win the Pulitzer for being nice. He has no qualms about being mean and vicious, apalling and disturbing for a cause.

In one of the cartoons submitted to the board he publicly "kicked" Gov. Graham. "I like Graham, you know. I really do," he told a reporter before he finished the work. "But I'm not going to let him get away with this." The cartoon showed two Florida State Prison employes carrying a body away from the electric chair.

One asked, "Why did the governor say we're doing this?" The other replied: "To make it clear we value human life." About editorial cartoonists, Wright has said, "I'm afraid we've lost our capacity to be vicious. We don't seem to get cartoons with explosive impact any more, the kind that slams somebody between the eyes with no subtlety at all." Wright moved to Miami when he was nine. "I was terribly withdrawn as a child," he once recalled in an Interview, "I remember playing around with kids who were black, and at night we'd have to go our separate ways. I mean they could play around our yard, even on the porch, but they never came in the house and that was odd. "I did not have a college education," he said last night.

"During the Depression, my father and mother had to do certain things to live. It was rough.
