Not many. They only asked American Laureates to sign the letter endorsing
Obama, and all had won in only 3 disciplines, Physics, Chemistry or
Medicine. They had one other characteristic, all were still alive. I don't
know the exact number but there can't be a lot more than 65 people in the
world who meet all those criteria. I found that damn impressive.
