Two Boston-area professors came up winners of perhaps the most coveted of all
international honors. The Nobel Peace Prize went to Elie Wiesel, 58, Boston
University humanities professor and Holocaust survivor who authored 25 books
on the Nazi genocide of European Jewry. The Nobel Prize in chemistry was
awarded to Harvard University chemist Dudley R. Herschbach for research said
to have "opened up important new fields of chemistry . . . with really
dramatic implications." Hershbach will share the honor with two research
colleagues, Taiwan native Yuan T. Lee of the University of California at
Berkeley and John Polyani of the University of Toronto.
