Saudi Prizes

"An American professor has become the first Jew to win the King Faisal International Prize in Medicine, popularly known as the "Arab Nobel Prize." Stanford professor Ronald Levy, who heads the university's Oncology department, told Haaretz that as an American Jew married to an Israeli it never crossed his mind that he might win the Saudi-financed competition." The Stanford Professor does not mind receiving a prize named after one of the most notorious anti-Semities in the 20th century. It must be the money, I guess. (thanks Ibn Rushd)
