Anxious moms and dads are no longer satisfied with traditional nursery school, which many see as a glorified romper room that focuses too much on learning through play. And of course, after years of Baby Einstein marketing, some parents have become convinced that the more math and reading skills their tots master, the better. Srinivas Rao, a veterinarian in Columbia, Md., began sending his daughter Sanjana to after-school tutoring last summer, shortly before her third birthday. To his delight, he soon found she could...
...mathematician, but the discoveries by the forebears of the craft have done a pretty good job holding up over time. Isaac Newton showed us gravity. Albert Einstein taught us that everything is relative. And Euclid, the most famous mathematician of all, predicted a Harvard victory tomorrow in the 124th edition of The Game.He didn’t explicitly say Yale would lose, but it’s easy to extrapolate from one of his most basic geometrical rules: no physical object can be one-dimensional.And so go the hopes of the Bulldogs, a team that enters The Game riding the legs...

It's in many ways a familiar tale, Oliver Twist meets Albert Einstein, the pilgrim who comes to the promised land expecting, as he says, "the roads to be paved in gold. What I found actually was just opportunity." But his story also has enough nice serrated edges to challenge our theories about genes and genius and what really makes...
