Gene Miller (1928–2005) was a longtime investigative reporter at ''The Miami Herald'' who won two Pulitzer Prizes for reporting that helped save innocent men on Florida's Death Row from execution. He was also a legendary editor, mentoring generations of young reporters in how to write crisp, direct, and entertaining stories. When he died of cancer in 2005, the Herald called him "the soul and the conscience of our newsroom." ==Life== Miller was born in Evansville, Indiana, on Sept. 16, 1928. He earned a B.A. in journalism from Indiana University in 1950, then took a job at the Journal Gazette in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The following year, he joined the Army during the Korean War, serving until 1953. After leaving the Army, Miller then reported briefly for the Wall Street Journal in 1954 and then the News Leader in Richmond, Virginia from 1954 to 1957. That year, he was hired by The Miami Herald, where he would work the rest of his life. In 1952, he married Electra Yphantis (1923–1993), with whom he had four children. In 1998, five years after becoming a widower, he married Caroline Heck, a federal prosecutor. He wrote two nonfiction books: "83 Hours Till Dawn," an account of a notorious Florida kidnapping in which the victim, Barbara Jane Mackle, was buried alive, and "Invitation to a Lynching." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gene Miller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
