THIRD OF FOUR BRADLEY PRIZES ANNOUNCED

To hear Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation President and CEO Michael W. Grebe put it, the mainstream liberal media ignores his organization's prizes, while paying attention to the awards handed out by Teresa Heinz Kerry. Face it, Grebe -- Teresa's got more money!
Milwaukeeworld shares Grebe's concern that our hometown conservative think tank is not getting the national attention it deserves, so once again this website leads the city (and all of the nation, with the exception of the Washington Times, whose reporter seems to have a special relationship with Grebe) in announcing yet another winner of the famed Bradley Prizes.
The winner is: Shelby Steele, a Senior Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and a recipient of other, more readily-recognizable honors, including the National Book Critics Circle Award, a National Humanities Medal and an Emmy.
None of them come with a $250,000 payday, as do the Bradley Prizes, which will be awarded at a gala celebration May 25th at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. (I so want to go!) The host of the event will be George F. Will, himself a former winner of the prize.
I've posted other stuff about the Bradley Prizes elsewhere on this website. I also called Grebe for a comment, and he did not call back.
However, the most recent press release issued by the foundation gives us a telephone number of a public relations outfit in Virginia that will be happy to arrange an interview with Grebe, so I'll give the number a ring. Only one prize winner remains to be named. We'll try to beat the Washington Times with that news!
