London has worked as a research scientist in hematology and a practicing physician, as well as teaching at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, where he is a visiting professor. He is also currently a physician at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston...
...math. Now 46, he is the son of a grain dealer from Budapest who fled Nazi anti-Semitism to settle in New York in 1940. A star student in advanced math and philosophy at Princeton, Kemeny was drafted to work on the Manhattan Project, and later became Albert Einstein's assistant. In 1953, when he was 27 and a teacher of logic at Princeton, Dartmouth asked him to head its math department. He soon recruited one of the best college math faculties in the country...
...Alone, perhaps, among the games of civilized man, its depths have never been fully plumbed, its possibilities calculated and codified. To Benjamin Franklin it taught "foresight, circumspection, caution and the habit of not being discouraged by our present affairs." For Lenin it was "the gymnasium of the mind," for Einstein a demon "that holds its master in its own bonds, fetters and in some ways shapes his spirit." Said H.G. Wells: "You have, let us say, a promising politician, a rising artist that you want to destroy. Dagger or bomb are archaic and unreliable. But teach him, inoculate him with...
...most astonishing thing about the society is that it exists at all. It is successor to the old Kaiser Wilhelm Society, founded in 1911 under the patronage of Germany's last emperor. By the '20s, the original society had attracted a galaxy of scientific stars, including Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Otto Hahn, Fritz Haber and Max Planck, whose quantum theory is the cornerstone of modern physics. When the Nazis came to power in the '30s, the society's fortunes sagged. Planck, who was head of the society during those turbulent years, tried to stop the Nazis...
Rosen's warning is well taken. Some of acupunctured 365 points lie close enough to major blood vessels and nerve passageways to make an inaccurate insertion perilous. Nor are acupuncture's anesthetic effects the same for all patients. Einstein's doctors admit that their success has been tempered by failure. They had used acupuncture to anesthetize a patient undergoing hernia surgery. A third of the way into the operation, the patient began experiencing pain, causing the physicians to fall back on a conventional anesthetic...
