The imagery of music and shtetl folklore, mingled with the face of his childhood sweetheart (and future wife), Bella Ro- senfeld, furnished the unaltering ground of his work for 80 years, long after the close-knit and weak little societies it represented had been incinerated by Hitler and Stalin. "All the little fences, the little cows and sheep, all the Jews, looked to me as original, as ingenuous and as eternal as the buildings in Giotto's frescoes," he reminisced...

Clark Kent patriotically went to take his physical exam, but when he looked at the eye chart, his X-ray vision caused him to read figures from a chart in the next room. He was rated...
...brain--evidence to Sheldrake that it's not in there at all--is out-of-date. He overemphasizes the role of acquired characteristics in Darwin's theory of natural selection--saying "it could just as easily be called 'Darwinian inheritance'"--and cites the ideological vendetta against Mendelism under Stalin as scientific authority...
