Einstein's Lost Child
(3 of 3)
His defenders minimize the latest round of deconstruction. "That Einstein was a cad and mistreated women," says Schulmann, noting this aspect of Zackheim's book, "is nothing new." But it is critical for cultural iconography. Einstein reshaped our view of the universe. That he was a flawed human being is not only fascinating in a tabloid sort of way but reassuring as well. It makes our heroes, even those of unfathomable genius, seem a little more like us.
