Peace Prize Shared by Physicist of Conscience and Pugwash Movement Founded to Avert Nuclear War

摘要

The irony is too obvious to miss. The international prize named for the inventor of dynamite was shared this year by an organization dedicated to ridding the world of nuclear arms and its sole surviving founder, Joseph Rotblat. A Polish-born British physicist, Rotblat was the only person to resign from the Manhattan Project on moral principle, more than six months before the first bomb was tested. Since then he has been a vigorous crusader for world arms control.
