...however great the importance of their contributions, to mathematicians, earth and marine scientists, astronomers, and many kinds of geologists and behavioral scientists." She notes that the rules have been bent a bit-for Radio Astronomers Martin Ryle and Anthony Hewish in 1974, and for Ethologists Konrad Lorenz, Nikolaas Tinbergen and Karl von Frisch in 1973. But still unlikely to be considered for the Nobel Prize are pioneers in exciting new fields like plate tectonics, a unified geological theory that explains continental drift, earthquakes, ocean trenches and mountain formation...
...promote this one-worldism, the Club is developing what Peccei calls "a trilogy of efforts," starting with a report titled "Reshaping the International Order." Written by Nobel Prizewinning Dutch Economist Jan Tinbergen and 20 top government advisers-Club members are nothing if not highly placed-it is mainly concerned with the kinds of action that might influence selective growth.

Other recommendations are to reduce tariffs on industrial products sold by developing nations, to set up new international agencies to subsidize the conservation...
...surprise move last week, Sweden's Karolinska Institutet awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine-which usually goes to researchers in disease or laboratory science-to three behavioral scientists: Karl von Frisch, 86, Konrad Lorenz, 69, and Nikolaas Tinbergen, 66. They will share $120,000 in prize money and the satisfaction of seeing ethology, the scientific field which they virtually created, recognized by the highest of academic accolades...
Died. Ragnar Frisch, 77, Norwegian economist who, with Dr. Jan Tinbergen of The Netherlands, was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Economics, in 1969; in Oslo.

While Tinbergen applied econometrics to underdeveloped countries, Frisch worked closer to home and came to be regarded as the father of Scandinavia's modern planned economic systems...
...part that "among the diverse programs of assistance to [the planning agency]... a natural division of labor has emerged, and the various efforts have so far exhibited a high degree of complementarity. The DAS concentrates on broad policy; the [World Bank] team on sector programs and project development; the Tinbergen [Dutch] team on three specific subject matters-regional-planning, manpower, and aid management..." This report also suggests, but leaves unstated, something that Papanek had spelled out clearly in his 1968 memorandum: Suharto pays close attention to his economists and "approves their recommendations in almost every instance...
