In the CliffNotes version of Frank’s Nobel adventures…

…we have reached a classic comic subplot. Frank has been invited to address graduation ceremonies at his high school–and at his elementary school.

Talk about dreams of childhood, (or nightmares of childhood)…

And, for another rich Shakespearian irony, the New York Times decided to cover last week’s Nobel Monument ceremonies in its Sunday Style section, with weddings and glitzy fundraisers. This photo was not online, but (thanks to the sharp eyes of my friend Roberta) I now have a sheet of newsprint featuring Frank and NYC’s teenage Nobel essay contest winners sharing a page with party animals David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger.

Those student essayists will enjoy all the Nobel festivities in December, so I doubt they much care where the NYT put their photos.
