Jack White, Reporter, Dies at 63

NY Times
PROVIDENCE, R.I., Oct. 12 (AP) - Jack White, a reporter whose article on President Richard M. Nixon’s underpayment of income taxes won a Pulitzer Prize and prompted Nixon to state, “I am not a crook,” died on Wednesday at his home on Cape Cod. He was 63.

His death was announced by WPRI-TV in Providence, where he worked as chief investigative reporter.

Mr. White was working for The Providence Journal and Evening Bulletin in 1973 when he used tax documents and a tip to establish that Nixon had failed to pay a large part of his income taxes in 1970 and 1971. Nixon ultimately agreed to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes, and Mr. White won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting.
