...20th century Newton who set physics aflame and left an intellectual legacy so rich and profound that its depth is still a source of amazement and discovery. Yet Einstein, for his part, never lost sight of the humanity that new knowledge should serve. Says Einstein's executor, Economist Otto Nathan: "Even if he had never done science at all, he would have been one of the memorable figures of the century." That may be the exaggeration of a loyal friend. But as a centennial assessment, it is, relatively speaking, not entirely off the mark...
Still, the feeling persists: the judges have gone too far. Sociologist Nathan Glazer says that the progression of judicially enforced rights has given the country "indigestion," like a boa constrictor that has swallowed a goat.

Eckstein thinks the recession will last only two quarters; Robert Nathan, a Washington economic consultant, fears that it may stretch out over as many as four.

A big break came when Critic George Jean Nathan wrote that Lauren was "the prettiest theater usher" of the 1942 season. Off Broadway the spotlight was on Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo. Bacall danced with servicemen at the Stage Door Canteen, but her mind seems to have been exclusively on star wars...
