Two more comments on Nobels

Doris Lessing also won a Nobel yesterday. When reporters confronted her and told her of the news she simply replied "Oh crap." Lessing, who will be 87 on October 22, is no stranger to literary awards.

Czech President Vaclav Klaus had another take on the Gore prize - he said in an interview yesterday "The relationship between his activities and world peace is unclear and indistinct," the statement said. "It rather seems that Gore's doubting of basic cornerstones of the current civilization does not contribute to peace."
