I'm unsure whether or not there should be a description of an award on a biography page. The awards the person received should be listed; I'm just not sure the award should be described, particularly with text like "1 of 2 top awards in a field". I was going to delete that portion of the text for all awards, but as I do it, I see the value. So I'm leaving all but the "1 of 2 phrase", and this note.
