SCOTT SIMON, HOST:

The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize will be announced October 11. 2014's been a tough year for peace, with so many places in the world embroiled in war, suffering and ferment. But there are a few names that seem to keep coming up for the prize. Pope Francis has been nominated and Malala Yousafzai, the 17-year-old advocate for education and women's rights. Then there are few names that may be surprises - Edward Snowden, the former national security agency contractor who revealed a lot of agency secrets, Chelsea Manning, the former U.S. soldier known as Bradley Manning, who's serving a 35-year sentence for disclosing classified information through WikiLeaks, and Vladimir Putin. The International Academy of Spiritual Unity and Cooperation of Peoples of the World nominated the president of Russia for his efforts to prevent the U.S. from launching airstrikes on the Assad regime. Putin's been nominated despite Ukraine and Chechnya and Georgia and supplying arms to the Assad regime in Syria. The group said that Mr. Putin is a promoter of peace.

npr을 통해들어본 노벨 평화상 후보로 거론되는 사람들에 대한 내용- 

수업시간엔 속도를 훨씬 빠르게 재생해주셨던 것이었구나를 새삼 느끼게 되는 [..;]

푸틴이 후보에 올라있다는 것, 만약 다른 사람을 후보로 지정해줄 수 있다면 어떤 사람들이 있겠는가 하는 질문을

다른학생들에게 던지셨는데, 마땅히 떠오르는 사람이 없다는 사실에 조금은 부끄러웠다.

그나저나 다른 기사에서는 반기문 총장님도 후보로 있다던데 왜 여기엔 없..?!
