Barack Obama welcomes four Nobel Prize winners, minus DylanWASHINGTON--President Barack Obama welcomed four recipients of the Nobel Prize to the White House on Wednesday. Obama met with Duncan Haldane and J. Michael Kosterlitz, laureates of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics; Oliver Hart, laureate of the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences; and Sir J. Fraser Stoddart, laureate of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Dylan was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize for literature but won't be attending the prize ceremony. There was much speculation going into the day about whether Dylan would skip the White House meeting. But White House spokesman Josh Earnest said during Wednesday's press briefing that "unfortunately, for those of you wondering, Bob Dylan will not be at the White House today, so everybody can relax."
