This is Einstein's fourth appearance on the cover of TIME since 1929 (not counting a lighthearted 1930 profile of his doting wife Elsa). For Golden, who has been a TIME science writer since 1969, the cur rent explosion of Einsteiniana presented an opportunity to fill a major gap in his education. Golden delved into the growing body of writing on relativity and consulted nearly a dozen leading experts. He also interviewed several of Einstein's former associates and his longtime secretary, Helen Dukas. For Senior Editor Leon Jaroff and Reporter-Researcher F.

...four wheels can do no right. "The four wheels are parasites," says one driver. "They use you as bear meat." Growls another: "All year the four wheels plan for a two-week vacation.

...characters except Gortner's are themselves cliches; the unsatisfied wife, the frustrated greaser, the fat waitress, the nice-guy motel-keeper. The characters line up almost exactly like those in The Petrified Forest, but in that film they were three-dimensional. In Red Ryder the characters are all foils for Teddy's contempt. None of them are allowed to do anything but whimper or get hysterical. When Red Ryder finally goes after Teddy and shoots him down, the film has already lost us. The final act of bravery, unlike Leslie Howard's in Petrified Forest, makes little impact, because...
