Muller, Edwin | September 17, 1938 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the life style of Albert Einstein, an American scientist. Einstein lives in a frame house in a quiet back street. The room in which he works is a small chamber, one end of which is almost filled by a big window that looks pot upon a garden. In all his habits his bent is for simplification. He uses the same soap to wash and to shave with because he does not see the need of complicating life by keeping two He is sublimely indifferent to money. He has never had an intellectual's disdain for service to others. When he won the Nobel Prize, he gave the entire $40,000 to charity, though he could ill afford to do it.
