Who was Eisaku Sato?
Don't Google and don't guess. Why cheat? You either know for certain or you don't. No answers like "I know! I know! Didn't he ride the bull at Bull Run?"

Quick Quiz
Answer, since the chance of any of you knowing is virtually zero:
First, he was Prime Minister of Japan from 1969 to 1972, which is even less likely any of us would have remembered than the next thing he should be remembered for. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1974 (jointly with Sean McBride), for his leadership in Japan's entry into the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. My point is: How fleeting the fame of Nobel Peace Laureates, even though helping to avoid nuclear war is at least as noble a cause as helping to avoid global warming. BB
