1995 Nobel Peace Prize winner Physicist Joseph Rotblat, 87, head of the Pugwash Committee, a movement for the elimination of nuclear weapons poses in his London office Tuesday October 8, 1996. When the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded a year ago, the reaction was almost universal: Who is Joseph Rotblat and what is Pugwash? As the Nobel committee prepares to announce this year's winner, Rotblat looks back on a year he says brought him "a certain aura of respectability" that makes people listen to his anti-nuclear message.
