To properly do this, you have to do named entity recognition and normalization. I just collected the most frequent capitalized words, threw away the ones recognized by my morphological analyzer, and did a small amount of manual postprocessing. Note that Bacon, Wells and Hawking are recognized by my morphological analyzer.
