Why this is better

Burns' Leadership was published in 1978, not 1976, and it did not win the Pulitzer Prize (Burns' 1971 Pulitzer was for Roosevelt: The Soldier of Freedom, a different book). Verified the live article body, pull-quote citation, and bibliography all already consistently use 1978 with no Pulitzer claim. The faq field does not mention Burns, Leadership, or the Pulitzer at all, so no secondary fix was needed there.
