Stephen Levy on finding Einstein’s lost brain

I came to the conclusion that the brain, in sectioned form, was still in the possession of the pathologist who removed it from the Einstein head, Dr. Thomas Harvey. I tracked him down in Wichita, Kansas. At first he didn’t want to tell me anything, but after a while he finally admitted that he had the brain. After a longer while, he sheepishly told me it was IN THE VERY OFFICE WE WERE SITTING IN. He walked to a box labeled “Costa Cider” and pulled out two big Mason jars. In those were the remains of the brain that changed the world.

Einstein and de Sitter reconcile their theories - At a notable meeting in Pasadena, California, on January 6, 1931, Albert Einstein, right, and Willem de Sitter, Dutch astronomer and long in conflict with Einstein over theories of the structure of the universe, announced they had come to an agreement. De Sitter, left, standing at the blackboard, with Einstein as an observer, is illustrating by equations unfathomable to the lay mind, how Einstein's theory of a static universe is proved. The scientists ar at Mount Wilson Observatory and at the California Institute of Technology for the winter to study complicated problems of the structure of the universe. (AP Photo) January 6, 1931.
