...working now upon two things,'' he said. ''First, an explanation based upon pure mathematics of certain things which Professor Einstein has also attempted to explain. My conclusions in certain respects differ from and to that extent tend to disprove the Einstein Theory. . . . My explanations of natural phenomena are not so involved as his. They are simpler, and when I am ready to make a full announcement it will be seen that I have proved my conclusions...
...Armour. British Open Champion, who was defending his next-best title; Walter Hagen. who recently recovered his putting touch and promised his friends to win at least one important championship this year; Percy Alliss, a plump British professional attached to a club at Wannsee, near Berlin, where Professor Albert Einstein goes sail-boating; elegantly skinny Johnny Farrell; Wiffy Cox, the only pro who played the new U.

...crystal of iron, a tum- bler of water, a flask of gas. The balls are atoms or molecules. They are all wobbling very, very fast, and in every direction. You cannot tell which ball is where at any instant. But you, pretending to be a mathematical physicist like Professor Einstein or Professor Raman, can calculate the average place of the average ball at any instant. That is almost as satisfactory as to know where each is all the time. And that is what scientists mean when they say that nothing is, which seems to be. The thing they look...
Scientist Albert Einstein wrote a letter from Potsdam, Germany, to Governor James Rolph of California, appealing for an "absolute pardon" for Thomas J. Mooney and Warren H. Billings, questionably convicted of bombing the 1916 San Francisco Preparedness Day parade. Pleaded Scientist Einstein: "I, myself, am of the decided opinion which I must, express, for I cannot lie, that a miscarriage of justice undoubtedly appears in the present case...
