...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 from interfering with research...

None of these people is likely to start anybody's revolution, but they sure are nice to listen to while you wait for capitalism to come crumbling down around your ears...

Brooks insists that the high-pressure rush has little to do with Barbra's fame. But every album-plugging newspaper interview somehow gets around to the Streisand kinship. Roz insists that "if I could just do a fourth of what my sister did, or maybe half...
