Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. *Awards* In 1990, Lester B. Pearson won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Answer: false

In 1990 the prize was awarded to the Soviet politician Mikhail Gorbachev. He did much to increase detente and ended the "Brezhnev Doctrine", which had formally limited the sovereignty of other Eastern Bloc countries. They were allowed to go their own way ...

He ended the monopoly of power previously enjoyed by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and contributed to the end of the Cold War.
2. *Literature* Which author got his/her idea for his/her book on a train in 1990?

Answer: J.K. Rowling

Of course, we all know Harry Potter is popular worldwide, both in the books and the movies. Who doesn't love Harry Potter? The train (from Manchester to London) was badly delayed and by time J K Rowling reached her apartment in south London she had already formed the idea of a school of wizardry and mental outlines of some of the characters.

Answer: Mary Robinson

Mary Robinson was born on May 21, 1944. She served as president of Ireland from 1990 to 1997, when she was succeeded by Mary McAleese. By one of those strange quirks of fate, Mary Robinson was succeeded by Mary McAleese as the Reid Professor of Criminal Law, Criminology and Penology at Trinity College Dublin. Both are highly gifted.
