Frederick Sanger, the second person in history to win two Nobel prizes in
the same category, says he could pick up an unprecedented third award if he
lives long enough. "I don't want to give you any odds, but I'll give it a
try," the British chemist said yesterday while in Stockholm to receive his
prize. "I probably would have to wait until I become 84 years old," said the
62-year-old Cambridge professor, "as it took me 22 years to get a second gold
medal." Sanger won his first prize in 1958 for explaining the structure of
insulin. He won the prize this year for developing a method to decode DNA.
