...that Einstein chose to pursue his career plans and left others to care for his newborn daughter. I have always had great respect for Einstein's brilliant scientific accomplishments. Sadly, his character flaws were just as enormous as his intellect was exceptional. Ultimately, proof of his selfish behavior will diminish Einstein's legacy. Instead, he will become a prime example of how men can master difficult branches of knowledge but lack the wisdom to love their families. BRENT MUIRHEAD Alpharetta...

Before Wilson or Valentine find resolution, they...
...Times that unlike Angelenos, Britons "hate anyone who succeeds." It turns out they hate perceived traitors even more. Member of Parliament John Cryer pointed out that the Prince "has never had to do anything for his wealth," while the Times of London editorialized, "It ill-behooves a prince to diminish his people for his own ends." The Sun labeled the Prince "tactless and talentless," which, if true, won't hurt his fortunes in Hollywood, where such attributes have never stood in the way of success...
