Nobel prizes have been given since 1901 in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace. The prize is awarded to “those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind.” Nearly half of the science and economics prizes have gone to luminaries associated with U.S. institutions—which speaks much to the strength of those institutions. One more thing  . . . more than a third of U.S.-affiliated Nobel laureates in the past decade have been immigrants.
