* THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE was awarded this morning to

V.S. Naipaul, a British author of Indian descent, born in

Trinidad. In its announcement, the Royal Swedish Academy of

Sciences praised Mr. Naipaul's work for having "united

perceptive narrative and incorruptible scrutiny in works that

compel us to see the presence of suppressed histories."
