Nobel Peace Prize winner Betty Williams was fined $55 today for disorderly
behavior at London's Heathrow Airport. Williams, awarded the Nobel prize in
1977 after helping found the Northern Ireland peace movement, pleaded guilty
to the charge. The court was told that Williams became upset when told she was
too late to board a flight to Belfast on May 1. Williams, 37, banged her fists
on the check-in desk, swore and tried to push through gates to the plane, the
prosecutor told the court in Uxbridge, near London.
