		EconLog, Phelps and the Nobel, Arnold Kling: Library of Economics and Liberty
		My theory on Nobel Prizes is that they are awarded for what baseball analyst Bill James calls "peak value" rather than "career value." Sandy Koufax had great peak value, winning 27, 26, and 25 games in his three best seasons, but his career wins were only 165.
		Very few Nobel Laureates fit the pattern of high career value and modest peak value--the only one who comes to mind is Douglass North.

		The interest on the Nobel endowment fund is divided annually among the persons who have made the greatest contributions in the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and world peace.
		The first four are awarded by academic committees based in Sweden, while the Nobel Prize for Peace is awarded by a committee of the Norwegian parliament.
		The prizes have a large cash award and are given to organizations – such as the United Nations peacekeeping forces, which received the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1988 – as well as individuals.

	Nobel population 1901-50: anatomy of a scientific elite (November 2001) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
		In 1974 the Nobel Foundation changed its statutes so that material in the Nobel archives - those of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for the prizes in physics and chemistry - would become available to historians of science 50 years after an award was made.
		Since the Nobel population is made up of both winners and losers in the Nobel sweepstakes, we can examine the differences between the winning and the non-winning candidates.
		The Nobel archives can also be used to draw up a "hit parade" of the 40 most nominated physicists between 1901 and 1950 (see table).

		Winners of the Nobel Prize are scientists, writers and peacemakers who have been awarded in their field of endeavour, and who are known collectively as either Nobel laureates or Nobel Prize winners.
		Debreu won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1983 for applying mathematical rigor to the fundamental theory of supply and demand in economics.
		Debreu's Nobel was the first in a string of four Nobel Memorial Prizes in economics won by UC Berkeley faculty.

	Sweden's Nobel Stamps
		Nobel issues are also often used on covers made for collectors of Swedish pictorial cancels.
		The first Nobel related stamps were the 1924 UPU set which shows the tower of the Stockholm City Hall, site of the Nobel banquet.
		I think it is safe to say that the idea of commemorating Nobel prize winners each year as the current Nobel prizes were being awarded was established in 1958-60.

	Nobel Prize in Physics 2004 - Presentation Speech
		Almost exactly a hundred years ago, Albert Einstein realized that light can be described as a bunch of particles, called photons, which move from one electrically charged body to another and mediate the electromagnetic force between the bodies.
		This year's Nobel Prize completes the picture that the work behind several earlier prizes initiated and as a result we now know the fundamental building blocks and we have a description of the four fundamental forces.
		You have been awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics for your discovery of asymptotic freedom in the theory of the strong interactions.

		It was the first office building consrtructed in the area, and presented a unique challenge, as it used a curved glass not available in France, and thus all of the glass for the facade was imported from America.
		In 1988, the tower was given an internal rennovation, and the new name of la Tour Initiale.

	Shirin Ebadi Nobel Laureate Walks Fine Line, by MEHRI MADARSHAHI: UNESCO
		The prominence of being a Nobel laureate has brought with it a new set of concerns: of how her statements might be taken out of context or deliberately twisted, to enmesh her in political controversy back home in Iran.
		In her Nobel acceptance speech — delivered in the name of “the God of Creation and Wisdom” — Shirin said: “Islam is a religion whose first sermon to the Prophet begins with the word “Recite!” The Koran swears by the pen and what it writes.
		Such a sermon and message cannot be in conflict with awareness, knowledge, wisdom, freedom of opinion and expression and cultural pluralism.” Some Muslims, she said, “under the pretext that democracy and human rights are not compatible with Islamic teachings and the traditional structure of Islamic societies, have justified despotic governments, and continue to do so.

		Nobel laureates certainly have the right to opine on public policy issues, but their scientific discoveries don't tend to render their opinions particularly valuable.
		If the 12 Nobel laureate signatories truly want to fight the politicization of science, they might start by withdrawing their signatures from the UCS report.

		The first design for the Freedom Tower was revised after the New York Police Department issued new guidance insisting that the building be an average of 95 feet from West Street in order to minimise the possible risk of a car or van bomb being driven close to the building.
		Though only a part of the overall tower, the subgrade is still incredibly complex in a project of this scale, not least because it includes three or four subway lines, water mains, electrical supplies, and far more.
