Hot dang, now this is what I call really good news. Thanks, Mathman!
When Malala was shot by the Taliban a few years ago, I couldn't read or watch any news about her without getting weepy. Most of us take education entirely for granted but this young woman wanted it so much that she stood up to the Taliban, whose response was to shoot her while she was on a school bus. Such courage -- thank God she's recovered so well. The Nobel committee couldn't have chosen a more deserving recipient.
