When Pauline Einstein learned that her beloved son Albert was consorting with a fellow physics student--one who was older, of another faith and from the backwaters of the Balkans--she was devastated.

But the 22-year-old Albert, as roguishly independent in his personal life as he would be in his science, brushed off Mutti's agitated words and continued the romance.
