...The One-Minute Pundit

It's that time of year again -- the Dynamite Memorial Awards, where lots of people no one has heard of outside their specialties win prizes for things no one outside their specialties can explain. The first award, for medicine, goes to a team of scientists who (it says here) have figured something out that could be possibly maybe can help us figure out cancer. No one asks this so I will: in the long haul how many of the Dynamite Memorial winners' discoveries pan out? And we say this without mocking the winners because the science laureates are truly among the most distinguished of personages. But someone should ask.

Onward and downward toward the "Literature" and "Peace" prizes.
