Here are some intriguing Laureate possibilities. One should not rule out
non-english sounding names of course. Perhaps Indian/Pakhistan are
possible.
But of the more obvious names consider:
Kipling 1907
WB Yeats 1923
GB Shaw 1925
Thomas Mann 1929
Sinclair Lewis 1930
John Galsworthy 1932
Eugene O'Neil 1936
Pearl S Buck 1938!
TS Eliot 1948
Bertrand Russell 1950
Winston Churchill 1953
Hemingway 1954
Steinbeck 1962
Sartre 1964
Samuel Beckett 1969
Saul Bellow 1974
I go for Glasworthy Universitry of Oxford (New College) where he might have
had a chance in the University team to play first class cricket.
