...renowned chemist himself, Chaim Weizmann had originally hoped to establish a haven in Rehovot for émigré Jewish scientists. A number of illustrious names-Einstein, Bohr, Von Neumann -did advise the institute in its early years, but none chose to make it their permanent home. Instead of importing a scientific elite, Israel was forced to produce its own; 80% of the institute's permanent staff is Israeli. Unlike many labs elsewhere, it enjoys what its scientific council chief, Mathematician Joseph Gillis, calls "a negative brain drain": far more scientists are trying to get in than to leave...

...outlines of Berlin's present political geography were sketched during the early post-war years. At issue then, as now, was the relation of the city to the Bundes-republic. The leftist faction, led by the party head, Franz Neumann, a dedicated socialist, looked at the Bonn government as the seat of reaction. Neumann wanted Berlin to be able to make its own laws, fashion its own institutions from courts to schools. Opposed to him was Ernst Reuter, the first post-war mayor of the city, who sought, successfully, to integrate Berlin with the rest of West Germany...
