Taken from "The Times" newspaper... "Nazi hunter bows out with knighthood By Roger Boyes Simon Wiesenthal believes his work must continue to remind world of a tarnished past SIMON WIESENTHAL, the last great Nazi hunter, will be knighted by Britain today in a tribute to his role in tracking down more than 1,000 war criminals from the Third Reich. The presentation for the appointment as Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire, by John Macgregor, the British Ambassador to Vienna, is likely to be a poignant one. Mr Wiesenthal, now 95, is ill — so frail that the ceremony will be conducted in his living room — and has withdrawn from the active search for Nazi criminals..." So looking good for this year's sixth place candidate. WP

Head of the US Supreme Court William Rehnquist was just diagnosed with thyroid cancer (I can never figure out how to post links, so Google it if you're interested in the story), but I don't know how immediately that would bring the gavel down on the old boy. Will do a bit of research. A Supreme Court justice is well overdue to go - the current nine have been together for over 10 years. John Paul Stevens is 84, Rhenquist 80. Would be interested to see if they pass the UK fame test.
