Nobel Prize Winners

[Barone, Charles]

This actual announcement from the "Acadame",  an electronic summary of 
the Chronicle of Higher Education, struck me as Pynconesque enough to 
post to the list.
 
  * THREE PROFESSORS today won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for
    their discovery of ball-shaped forms of the element carbon.
    The award will be shared by Robert F Curl, Jr., and Richard
    E. Smalley both professors of chemistry at Rice University,
    and Sir Harold W. Kroto, a professor in the School of
    Chemistry and Molecular Sciences at the University of Sussex.
