...When projected toward suitable absorbers, those gamma rays can gauge extremely small motions and distances. They have even been used to register the slight change of frequency that results when they travel a few feet vertically through the earth's gravitational field. Physicists who are passionately concerned with Einstein's Theory of General Relativity (which explains the large-scale behavior of the universe on the basis of relative motion) are satisfied that the Mössbauer Effect has double-proved Einstein's accuracy...
...Chambers also joined TIME as a book reviewer, rose steadily to the post of senior editor, directed the foreign news and books sections, and wrote numerous cover stories on divergent personalities ranging from Marian Anderson to Reinhold Niebuhr to Albert Einstein. A man who loved self-dramatization, Chambers attracted a group of fiercely loyal friends with his nonconformist personality, his brilliant-though often high-flown-writing style, the surprising spread of his scholarship, and, more important, his apocalyptic view of the world, which saw all mankind as threatened by moral decay...
...World War I. And most 20th-century portraiture tries to achieve far more than surface realism. Yet these examples are especially gratifying because they depict subjects most of whose looks and work and character are quite familiar to us--Freud, Hemingway, Toscanini, Shaw, de Gaulle, Eisenhower, Gertrude Stein, Nehru, Einstein...
...Variety of techniques is astonishingly wide. With great economy, Josef Scharl captures Einstein wonderfully (see cut), Ben Shahn gets the rough ruggedness of Hemingway, and Arthur Okamura the glowering violence of Toscanini...
Bainbridge has been professor of Physics since 1946. In 1933 he reported the first accurate experimental check on Albert Einstein's theory of the equivalence of mass and energy...
