...renowned chemist himself, Chaim Weizmann had originally hoped to establish a haven in Rehovot for émigré Jewish scientists. A number of illustrious names-Einstein, Bohr, Von Neumann -did advise the institute in its early years, but none chose to make it their permanent home. Instead of importing a scientific elite, Israel was forced to produce its own; 80% of the institute's permanent staff is Israeli. Unlike many labs elsewhere, it enjoys what its scientific council chief, Mathematician Joseph Gillis, calls "a negative brain drain": far more scientists are trying to get in than to leave...
...Canadian sociologist also at Rutgers; Wardell Pomeroy, a psychologist who co-authored the Kinsey reports on men and on women and who is now a psychotherapist; Dr. Charles Socarides, a psychoanalyst who has seen scores of homosexuals in therapy and is associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in The Bronx; the Rev. Robert Weeks, an Episcopal priest who has arranged for the meetings of a homosexual discussion group to take place at his Manhattan church; Dick Leitsch, a homosexual who is executive director of the Mattachine Society of New York; and Franklin Kameny, an astronomer...

With gimmicks and gaucherie, Champion botches all of Feydeau's intricately precise equations of who-is-sleeping-with-whom-be-hind-which-door? As far as ACT's trip east is concerned, a molehill has come to Mohammed...

Topped by a 28-story bell tower, Riverside drew its architectural inspiration from Chartres. Its iconography, however, included Albert Einstein and Ralph Waldo Emerson in addition to Moses and John the Disciple...
...scientific prize so far is a dummy of the late Albert Einstein, borrowed from a local wax museum. Garroway sat the dummy down, leaned over cozily, and began a conversation: "I remember that once you wrote on a blackboard a little equation-E equals me squared-and there were, I think, just eleven men in the world who were wise enough to understand it at the time. You'd be glad to know that my son quotes it frequently, and other schoolboys do too. He and others remember some of your other words. What you said about...
