...Alaska to South Africa. We have already admitted many, and we will gain by taking as many more as we have room for. Not often since the Mayflower has the scum of a European wave of the future been so rich in human talent and accomplishment. With names like Einstein, Werfel, Undset, Romains, Maurois, and Paderewski, the steerage list of many a tramp steamer begins like a European Roll of Honor. Beyond doubt, these newcomers average as high as if not higher than their hosts in education and intelligence. And economically as well as culturally the exiles can contribute...
More than 80% of the prisoners in the concentration camps are not Jews but Christians, and the best tribute to the spirit of Germany's Christians comes from a Jew and agnostic (TIME, Sept. 23) - the world's most famous scientist, Albert Einstein. Says...
Reader Walter Richert in a letter to TIME, Nov. 18, satirized the suggestion made by Mrs. Foster in the Oct. 28 issue, that every German should be sterilized. Among others, he mentioned sardonically such men as Einstein and his Relativity Theory and Ehrlich and his ''Magic Bullet."

Their names should nob be mentioned in Nazi circles except for shame and degradation and their achievements are meaningless because they...

But it has thrown the world of music into a Kilkenny cat fight. One cat camp maintains that Schönberg's music, like Einstein's theory, sounds queer because it is way over the average man's head; opponents swear that Schönberg is pulling everybody's leg, including his own, and that his miscalled music is a gibberish of wrong notes. Gibberish or no, Arnold Schönberg...
Then in 1915 Einstein produced his General Theory of Relativity, a beautiful theoretical concept but, after all, just a theory. Yet the Relativity mathematics was found to predict a shift of Mercury's orbit which was practically the same as the observed shift. This was the first observational prop for Relativity.* So Einstein may have felt a nostalgic glow last week, if anyone remembered to tell him that Mercury was transiting (passing directly between the sun and the earth...
