	michael specter--the nobel syndrome
		After all, the Swedish Academy, which gives not only the Nobel Prize but also nearly fifty awards to Scandinavian writers every year, is at least in part a prize factory, and every factory needs a foreman.

		The academy is also accused of being far too politically correct in its choicesso eager to make a point of openness that its members have stopped reading books.

	Noble dissent roils Nobel literati / Swedish Academy member quits, calls last year's pick 'whining' porn
		Horace Engdahl, the academy's permanent secretary, told the Swedish media that Ahnlund had not attended academy meetings for nearly a decade and was not involved in Jelinek's selection.
		A tint of leftist politics, a charge the academy often faces but denies, also surrounded her selection: Jelinek's most recent works were sharply critical of the Bush administration and the war on Iraq.
		The academy cited Jelinek, whose semiautobiographical 1983 novel "The Piano Teacher" was made into an award-winning film, "for her musical flow of voices and counter voices in novels and plays that with extraordinary linguistic zeal reveal the absurdity of society's cliches and their subjugating power."

		In awarding the 1995 Nobel Prize in chemistry to the originators of the stratospheric ozone depletion hypothesis, the Swedish Academy of Sciences has chosen to make a political statement.
		This echoes the Swedish Academy statement and earlier hype by a National Science Founda-tion official (quoted in the Manchester Guardian, March 16, 1995): "It's terrifying.
