...shorts and sandals. They encourage questions and expect challenges. Gray has been known to wear a horse's head while lecturing. Feynman, who played a bongo-banging tribal chieftain in a student production of South Pacific, mixes serious physics with stand-up comedy. And Murph marked the centennial of Einstein's birth by donning pith helmet and chaps and riding an elephant across campus...
Nussbaum, a biology concentrator who willattend Albert Einstein Medical School next year,says that the council in its first yearaccomplished "substantiative things," includingestablishing E4D and endorsing a Harvard clericalworkers union.

That prediction was confirmed by British Astronomer Arthur Eddington in 1919, when he traveled to an island off West Africa to observe a total solar eclipse. From there he was able to measure precisely the location of a star that became visible in the suddenly darkened sky near the edge of the sun. Because light from the star was bent by solar gravity as it passed...
...wrong. After a great deal of introduction and adulation, a short, middle-aged man who looked like a cross between Bozo and Einstein shuffled up onto the stage, mumbled something about critics being ants, and withdrew a well-worn copy of his latest work...
...When I first came to the East Village, there was nothing here but methadone clinics," says Morton, who is 28 and a partner in an intrepid boutique called Einstein's.
