When the award to Sakharov was announced in October, the Soviet press dismissed the Nobel Prize as "a cold war weapon" and denounced the five-member Nobel committee for "political speculating."

...Ponce borrowed $1,500 from a trade school that offered to teach him to become a TV repairman, but dropped out after two weeks because he found the courses too difficult. The school by then had already sold the loan to a credit union, which is now trying to collect the $1,500 from the Government.
