GREETING THE PUBLIC. Mohamed ElBaradei and Yukiya Amano salute the crowds from the balcony of the Grand Hotel in a ritual that has become an integral part of the annual Nobel celebrations. It was a cold night and ElBaradei and Amano seemed less than thrilled to be standing outside waving at the people for a full five minutes. But at least they weren't asked to put on a dance, as Shirin Ebadi did in 2003, or stand behind a protective glass barrier as Rabin, Peres and Arafat had to do in 1994.
