...appeal of his intuitive imagination, it helped that Einstein was initially not associated with a brand-name institution of higher learning and that his stature did not depend on official accreditation--both of which Americans at once insist on and do not trust. To the contrary: he was eagerly adopted by ordinary folks, though he spoke the obscure language of mathematics, because he seemed removed from snooty trappings.

...could ask this of any year, any century: Which has the greater impact, good or evil, the heroes or the villains, Roosevelt and Churchill or Hitler and Stalin?

...Undergraduate Council presidential candidate Ben Dreyfus not at the debate reported on in today's issue?

Political campaigns depend on the press for publicity, and the Crimson performed a great disservice to Dreyfus by failing to report on his position, or even to acknowledge his candidacy.
