"You should be worried if you or someone in your family has to check into a hospital," warns Mary Helen Clark, an intensive-care nurse at Einstein-Weiler Hospital in the Bronx.

...work, however impossible the situation. The only recourse for many is to fill out a form protesting the assignment.

The space is a New York hotel room, the time is 1953 and the motion comes from the interaction between the characters on the stage. The premise seems a highly inventive experiment, though it leans toward a trite conclusion...

As Einstein (here called "the Professor") pithily concludes, "If two people don't give each other time, they give each other nothing...
...work if he decides he was wrong, may have transcended his famous proof that singularities exist. With Physicist James Hartle, he has derived a quantum wave describing a self-contained universe that, like the earth's surface, has no edge or boundary. If that is the case, says Hawking, Einstein's general theory of relativity would have to be modified, and there would be no singularities. "The universe would not be created, not be destroyed; it would simply be," he concludes, adding provocatively, "What place, then, for a Creator...
