She is accused by some hard-line ayatollahs of trying single-handedly to undermine Iran's Islamic revolution. Petite and soft-spoken, she looks no match for her bearded detractors. But Shirin Ebadi is made of steel.
"Any person who pursues human rights in Iran must live with fear from birth to death, but I have learned to overcome my fear," she says.
Ms. Ebadi was Iran's first woman judge before the revolution, after which the ayatollahs decided women were too emotional and irrational to hold such posts. She now lectures in law at Tehran University, is a vocal campaigner for women's and children's rights, and takes on cases other lawyers would never dare touch.

An Aussie betting company had the following odds for some of the numerous Peace Prize candidates:
Pope 1.75
Vaclav havel 5
Hans Blix 81
G.W. Bush 205
I wonder if the winner was even on their list? A worthy winner though. Not even Bush could complain.So get your Naomi Klein books and move it or I'll seriously bash your faces in! - Supercitizen to stupid students

The physics prize has gone to Ginzburg, Abrikosov and Leggett for their work on superconductivity and superfluidity. I only know Ginzburg, but apparently, they're all theorists.Comment
