LEAD SINGER FREDDIE MERCURY DIED OF AIDS LAST NOVEMber, but record sales of his rock group Queen are still going strong. A reissue of the band's quirky 1975 single Bohemian Rhapsody (currently featured in the hit movie Wayne's World) is a best seller in both the U.S. and Britain, while three of Queen's old albums are now on the Billboard oldies chart. This week many of the singer's rock cohorts will gather at London's Wembley Stadium for "A Concert for Life," which will be televised worldwide to benefit AIDS research. One of the people...

Mileva Maric was a dark- haired Serbian woman who dreamed of being a physicist, a pre-feminist fighter, 21 when she entered the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. There she met Albert Einstein, a 17-year-old bohemian with thick curly hair and dark, warm eyes, bedroom eyes. They became lovers, sharing classes, textbooks and his father's disapproval. In 1902 they had an illegitimate daughter, who disappeared. Albert and Mileva married. Revolution was in the air, and they were the first modern couple. For pillow talk they...
