Sadat also was awarded a Family of Man medallion, just as he and Begin will share the Nobel Prize for Peace. In an acceptance speech read by former Premier Mamdouh Salem, he pointedly insisted that he went to Jerusalem and to Camp David "to establish peace for the entire area." Despite such oft-repeated assertions, both radical and moderate Arabs are concerned that Sadat has, in effect, sold out to Israel. Last week 20 Arab governments assembled in Baghdad in an effort to counteract the impending Egyptian-Israeli settlement...
Sedgwick, the villainous "ten-time Nobel prize loser," seeks to ruin Superman's reputation in Metropolis. Strongly played by Fred Barton, the mad doctor epitomizes nurdiness; he is the science wonk par excellence, dressed in white lab coat, sneakers, and ABC sportscaster's plaid pants. One of the best moments in the play comes when Sedgwick daintily galivants across the stage, trilling his song "Revenge," and rolling the "r" at each refrain...
...Nobel Committee has learned, its prize is less often the reward for "successful efforts at peace than it is - as it was with Von Ossietzky - for a valiant try.

...members, 812 undergraduates and 851 graduate stu dents, making it roughly one-fifth the size of friendly rival M.I.T. Two-thirds of the incoming freshmen in an average Caltech class have scored a perfect 800 on advanced-mathematics college-entrance exams. Seventeen of its faculty and alumni have received Nobel prizes; two weeks ago, Alumnus Robert Wilson, now a researcher at Bell Labs, joined this elite roster by sharing the Nobel for physics...
Notwithstanding Caltech's emphasis on theory?epitomized by Nobel-Prize-winning Physicist Richard Feynman's abstruse calculations involving quantum electrodynamics?faculty members are eagerly sought out for advice by business and government. Faculty members are permitted up to 52 days annually of outside consulting work, which supplements salaries averaging $28,100. Caltech's past president, Harold Brown, was so well known as a top nuclear-weapons specialist that Jimmy Carter whisked him from Pasadena to become Secretary of Defense. Large high-technology companies, such as Beckman Instruments and TRW, both founded by Caltech alumni, value their close ties...
