Ibbexx, A friend reminded me today that Slick was nominated for Nobel Prize for peace back in January 1998. Here's the article from January: Clinton Nominated for Nobel Peace OSLO, Norway (AP) -- President Clinton has been nominated for the 1998 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to protect world peace and promote democracy, three Norwegian legislators announced today. Clinton, embroiled in a sex scandal in the United States, was nominated by members of the right-wing Party of Progress, one of the largest blocs in Norway's Parliament. ''Throughout his presidency he has been a guarantor and friend of peace,'' the lawmakers said in a statement. They praised Clinton for helping end the war in former Yugoslavia and for standing up to ''despots who want to repress human rights and democracy's rules of play.'' One of the legislators, Vidar Kleppe, said by telephone that they made the decision to nominate Clinton in December, before his current problems. The nomination deadline for this year's peace prize is Jan. 31, although the Oslo-based awards committee usually accepts nominations postmarked by then. The committee refuses to release the names of nominees, usually 120-130 each year, or comment on candidates. Members of national legislatures are among those with nomination rights and often announce the name of their candidate. The winner is announced in Oslo, usually in mid-October, and the award is presented Dec. 10, the anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel, the Swede who invented dynamite and endowed the prizes that bear his name. Last year's Nobel Peace Prize was shared by American Jody Williams and the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. AP-NY-01-27-98 1101EST Regards, Fuzfo
