Why don't you try Robert Oppenheimer? There's loads written about him, and he was a very interesting person. He also worked miracles helping pull the Manhattan project together and keep it on target. You should definitely be able to get at least ten pages on him, and that would not include much of what could be left out.

Bronco Billy, if you aren't fully committed yet, I would STRONGLY urge you to consider one of these gentlemen whose deeds were of the appropriate time - there were a few.
Actually, I think it behooves all of us to occasionally peruse this list and remember them.

Gene Roddenberry served as a B-17 bomber pilot during WWII, and then went on to become a pilot for Pan Am, a police officer, and then a film writer & producer. His final carreer work had alot to do with some of the most popular television series ever produced..... I think that a paper written about this guy would be interesting, and get you a good grade. "Dragnet", "Have Gun,Will Travel", "Star Trek", and "The Lieutenant" are samples of his writing & producing work. I have to admit it was my own curiosity about Star Trek that revealed to me that its creator was a WWII veteran, and had also worked on other shows I had watched as a kid. Good luck with your paper! (My mom was a college english professor with master degrees in english & foreign languages, she loved her work while still alive and finally accepted the fact that I'm happy to be a machinist with acceptable spelling skills)

. It is Richard Feynman. That plus "manhattan" should google you up some good stuff.
