Correction: The text of this article was changed to reflect the fact that the Sun amended an existing joint operating agreement with the Las Vegas Review-Journal in 2005; it did not strike a new agreement at that time.

I'm glad to see the Sun get some well-deserved credit. The Sun and the R-J both have ideological leanings (now, don't try to deny it!), but the R-J is a rag, whereas The Sun often shines (I didn't pun intentionally; it just flared out).

Marshall Allen and Richards deserve the Pulitzer for the series on LV heathcare. Their in depth investigation was an incredible and unsurpassed effort to reveal the many problems in our healthcare system. Only knowing what the real problems are will bring about real solutions.

Great to see you writing so many articles.
"A pen sharp enough to stab public awareness" is very intact.
Keep them coming.
