...response to Germany's growing anti-Semitism, he became a passionate Zionist, yet he also expressed concern about the rights of Arabs in any Jewish state. Forced to quit Germany when the Nazis came to power, Einstein accepted an appointment at the new Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J., a scholarly retreat largely created around him. (Asked what he thought he should be paid, Einstein, a financial innocent, suggested $3,000 a year. The hardheaded Elsa got that upped to $16,000.) Though occupied with his lonely struggle to unify gravity and electromagnetism in a single mathematical framework...
...instructed local students on how best to respond to Emerson's appearance. At one point during the correspondence, Hooper suggested that picket signs might not be an effective tactic. A student at the University of Massachusetts at Boston protested "I really liked the one which said: 'Steven Emerson: Another Zionist Puppet...

Hassan Nasrallah, spiritual leader of Hizballah, the Iranian-backed Lebanese militia, followed suit, suggesting that Palestinians assassinate Arafat, just as Egyptian radicals had killed Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. In a leaflet faxed to reporters, the military wing of Hamas, breaking with its practice of eschewing internecine violence, accused Arafat of treason and warned that its activists, if pushed, might "direct their war and guns, out of necessity," against the Palestinian Authority...
