It is one of the new horizons in health care and prevention," says neurologist and aging expert Dr. Joe Verghese of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, who published an article in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2002 showing that changes in walking patterns could be an early sign of dementia...

How was life initiated? How did consciousness emerge? Einstein captured it best when he wrote, “the years of anxious searching in the dark for a truth that one feels but cannot express.” That’s what science is about...

Albert Einstein was apparently fond of a remark that “Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.” (There is a deeper mathematical insight here that underlies much of modern statistics and decision theory; for an introduction, see Patrick Billingsley, Convergence of Probability Measures.) And so hundreds of political science courses at Harvard and elsewhere continue to offer readings in political philosophy, American political development and political history, and legal and administrative decisions...
