INFORMATION on the ozone researchers who carried off the chemistry Nobel is harder to find. Some background about Paul Crutzen is available at http://diane.mpch-mainz.mpg.de/≡air/. Mario Molina at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is cited in scores of articles but has no site of his own. Try http://web.mit.edu:1962/tiserve.mit.edu/9000/22858.html and http://web.mit.edu:1962/tiserve.mit.edu/9000/40924.html for MIT’s announcement about the prize and why he got it. Finally, UCI provides little more than a biography of F. Sherwood Roland at http://www.communications.uci.edu/≡inform/bios.html.

And for more information about all the winners there is the Karolinska Institute’s home page on http://www.nobel.ki.se/pressreleases.html.
