I mean, he'd never mention it as if it were a big deal knowing that it wasn't, would he? >From Wikipedia, the following may nominate someone for a Nobel Peace Prize: Members of national assemblies and governments of states Members of international courts University rectors Professors of social sciences, history, philosophy, law and theology Directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize Board members of organisations who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize Active and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee Former advisers appointed by the Norwegian Nobel Institute Similar requirements are in place for the other prizes. Wikipedia also notes: "Unlike many other awards, the Nobel Prize nominees are never publicly announced, and they are not supposed to be told that they were ever considered for the prize. These records are sealed for 50 years." To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
