I just skimmed over this article, but it seems to be a nice find :)
I liked Bruni de la Motte's "East Germans lost much in 1989" because it's an interesting take on the other side of the unification... written by someone that suffered the consequences. |

Yes! and I think a month or so ago it was brought to my attention that more than fifty years ago Albert Einstein would move from Germany to Princeton, NJ shortly after war broke out.
I didn't know that Kurt Gφdel had moved to New Jersey too. Actually, I think both Einstein and Godel became friends...
that's more trivial data for your brain! |

Enrique, do you happen to have 100 Authors Against Einstein in a digital format? I'd like to know what their beef is with the good old Bert. |
