MIT Wins Another Nobel

Two-thirds of one, actually. Professors Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson shared the Nobel Prize in economics with James A. Robinson of Chicago. 

My one year at the 'Tute I was wandering around the Great Court looking for my classroom and noticed a modest door plate announcing the office of Paul Samuelson, the first American ever to win the Nobel economics prize. Sort of inspires you, that kind of thing does.
