Peace on earth is a hot item on the faculty gift lists this year. Nathan I. Huggins, chairman of the Afro-American Studies Department, asks for nothing else. Nicolaas Bloembergen, Gade University Professor and this year's Nobel laureate in physics, wants a little more: "I'd like peace and quiet," he says. And John K.
