Congratulations to my colleague Alan Hájek for a remarkable double: winning the APA article prize (for best philosophical article published in 2002 or 2003 by someone 40 or younger) for his 2003 paper "What Conditional Probability Could Not Be", and having his paper "Waging War on Pascal's Wager" selected for the 2004 Philosopher's Annual (for the ten best papers published in 2003). There's an obvious threat of contradiction here, but perhaps one can escape by deducing that Al turned 40 during 2003 and that oldsters write many better papers than youngsters!
