...Einstein's Long March from the Periphery to the Center--by Robert Schulman, Einstein Papers, Boston University. Science Center, room...
...more than I've ever spent on a car.) And I won't tell you how I managed to get the price down even that little bit. (All right, as part of the deal, I agreed to buy a second item, for even more -- a letter from Albert Einstein describing Hitler as a lunatic -- and so got a little bit of a break on both.) But I will tell you that when novices like me get into markets they know nothing about, it's usually the beginning...
...think you should pause before spurning the safety of a savings account or Treasury bill just because rates are low. Stocks are no bargain (though some fire-sale real estate may be). And I think that Albert Einstein, if not Marilyn Monroe, is likely to loom as large 1,000 years from now as Van Gogh. So given the choice between a little piece of Einstein for $15,000 or a work by Van Gogh for $15 million (and given $15 million), I would opt for the Einstein, spend a further $28 on socks (to give the economy a little...
...artist Robert Wilson seems to think so. For the Zurich Opera, Wilson has conjured up a LOHENGRIN that is far removed from Wagner's realm of Brabant. The composer's scenario is full of feudal warfare and knightly swordplay. But Wilson, whose career has included such mesmerizing efforts as Einstein on the Beach and the CIVIL warS, avoids conventional stage action, particularly the use of arms and hands.

Needless to say, Einstein failed math, too, or so they say (actually, this almost surely is a myth), and any number of our most brilliant businessmen never finished college. But that would be overstating the case with Nelson. His I.Q., at 121, makes him brighter than 9 out of 10 boys on the bus, but still leaves about 500 million people on the planet even brighter than he. And perhaps more still who are nicer. But only a tiny, tiny few who are richer...
