...questions, cameramen with flash bulbs. A spotlight's fuse blew. "I'm so awfully tired," said Dr. Meitner. Relatives bustled her off. Next day she was in at the unveiling of the man-made meson (see SCIENCE). Next stop, after a rest: Washington, DC., where she will teach at Catholic University...

Seventeenth-Century Moliére (real name: Jean Baptiste Poquelin) might have been a little startled at what has happened to his doltish M. Jourdain, who was already an outrageous enough butt.

I sought less to teach [them] to spell, read and write than to make use of these exercises for the purpose of giving their minds as full and as varied a development as possible." In the end he succeeded. Talleyrand, Mme. de Staël and Robert Owen came to learn from Pestalozzi. Philosopher Fichte...
