Technologists vs. Humanists
Which Nobel Peace Prize winners have really advanced the cause
of Peace?

As opposed to those who have managed to impress the right
people?

Indeed: how DOES one advance the cause of peace? Did Pacifist in
WWII advance the cause of peace? Or did Joe and Willy (and
General Patton)?  Is Jane Fonda, or a US Army  paratrooper lieutenant,
more likely to advance the cause of peace today?

Was Appius Claudius the Blind right when he said "If thou
wouldst have peace, be thou then prepared for war," or is paying
Danegeld a better approach (oops: don't needlessly irritate the
totalitarians, they MEAN it...)
