As a young boy, he was caught up in the fervor and propaganda of the second World War. He, like most boys his age, was ready to die for his country and his emperor. However, when the war ended, and young O&eacute heard the emeror on the radio, he realized that his great hero was a mere human. Such a disillusionment at such an early age influenced his life and his writing. O&eacute was content with living in his small village; however, since there was no university near his home, he was forced to leave for Tokyo at the age of seventeen. In Tokyo, he had to re-learn Japanese, due to the different dialect spoken in his village. It was at this point that he started writing.

These emotions were rekindled on April 10 and 11, 1995, when Shull came home from Massachusetts to be honored for his achievements and to describe them in a replay of his Nobel Prize lecture. The professorial Shull--diminutive in stature but a giant among scientists--had been a resident of Oak Ridge from 1946 to 1955. He and his wife Martha lived on Kentucky Avenue, and his children played with the children of former ORNL Director Alvin Weinberg.

As a bright young boy, he attended Yale University after his earlier education. Afterwards he worked as an editor and reporter, neither job giving him very much satisfaction. One of his major topics in all his works was the monotony and lack of spiritual values in every day American life. Among his works are Babbit, Arrowsmith, Elmer Gantry, Dodswoth, It can't Happen Here, Kingsblood Royal, and Main Street . As most authors of that time, he was part of the lost generation, and moved to Europe. In 1930, he was the first American that received the Noble prize in literature for his work in the past decade. In 1951, Lewis dies in Rome. Later, his letters would be published in From Main Street to Stockholm .

Reality, however, is far more grim. Landmines, the silent sentinels planted in the ground by opposing armies in every war since World War I, continue to kill and maim long after the peace treaties are signed. Jody Williams, longtime activist and 1997 Nobel Peace Prize winner, has spent more than a decade fighting this invisible scourge that no longer kills well-trained soldiers, but rather innocent and unarmed civilians.

Rabin did this out of love for his children and grandchildren and for all children. As the leader of Israel, he made peace a priority. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 along with Yassar Arafat, the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
