...Materazzi acknowledged he talked trash to Zidane, but said there was no racism, Islamophobia, or "yo mama" aspect to it. "It was the kind of insult you will hear dozens of times and just slips out of the ground," Materazzi told the Italian daily La Gazetta dello Sport. "I didn't call Zidane a terrorist and certainly didn't mention his mother." For his part, Zidane has only told intimates that the comment that set (and sent) him off was "very serious," but that he regrets the brutal reaction that marked the end to the last game of his long...

...begins with two letters written in early April by Hans Albert (known as Adu), begging his father to visit him and his brother (known as Tete) in Zurich for spring vacation: Dear Papa, Imagine, Tete can already multiply and divide, and I am doing gometetry (geometry), as Tete says. Mama assigns me problems; we have a little booklet; I could do the same with you then as well. But why haven't you written us anything lately? I just think: "At Easter you're going to be here and we'll have a Papa again." Yours...

Yours, Adu The war made it impossible for Einstein to visit them, but he responded...

...exchanged letters arguing about both money and vacation timing, and at the end of June a curt postcard came from Hans Albert in response to his father's request that he be available on a particular date to go on their proposed summer vacation: Dear Papa, You should contact Mama about such things, because I'm not the only one to decide here.

...will come over New Year's, i.e., from the 31st to 2nd. I don't want to stay longer because Christmas is nicest at home. Besides, I got skis and would like to learn how to use them with my colleagues. The ski equipment costs about 70 francs, and Mama bought them for me on condition that you also contribute. I consider them a Christmas present. Yours, Adu So Einstein informed his son that he was canceling the trip. "The unkind tone of your letter dismays me very much," he wrote just days after finishing his last lecture on general...
