Inside the Pentagon's "U.S. Air Force Flies Combat Patrols Over Dozens of American Cities" was the first news piece anywhere to report that the American military had taken on this first-ever domestic mission to use its F-16 and F-15 fighters to patrol Washington, New York Washington is a town in Dutchess County, New York, United States. The population was 4,742 at the 2000 census. The town is named after George Washington, who passed through the town during the revolution. , and more than 30 other cities. Another interesting entry--the second-place winner in the Best Investigative Reporting category--was "Will Navy's New Sonar System Drown Out the Songs of Whales?" published in Environment Hawai'i. The story was written to focus on mounting public concerns over two federal projects involving the transmission of sound waves the deep ocean. Both projects were suspected of interfering with the ability of some whales and dolphins to communicate, and even to have injured or killed particularly sensitive marine animals.
