NEW YORK (AP) - The Los Angeles Times won five Pulitzer Prizes, the second most by a newspaper in one year, and The Blade of Toledo, Ohio, won its first Pulitzer - for an investigative report on civilian killings by an elite U.S. Army unit in Vietnam 37 years ago.

The Times was honored for breaking news reporting on the wildfires that ravaged southern California last year and for feature photography, criticism and editorial writing. It also won in the national reporting category for its examination of the tactics that have made Wal-Mart the world's largest company.

Two books each on the Soviet Union and slavery - one written by a one-time proofreader turned novelist - dominated awards in the arts. The poetry prize went to the son of a poet who won the Pulitzer 32 years earlier.

The New York Times, which won a record seven Pulitzer Prizes in 2002, primarily for its coverage of the 2001 terror attacks, earned one prize this year, for public service, in an unusual cross-media collaboration with the PBS program ``Frontline'' and the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. on lax enforcement of work safety rules at McWane Inc., a cast-iron pipe foundry.
