      My Friend, Albert Einstein

      He was one of the greatest scientists the world hasever known, yet if I had to convey the essence ofAlbert Einstein in a single word, I would choosesimplicity. Perhaps an anecdote will help. Once,caught in a downpour, he took off his hat and held itunder his coat. Asked why, he explained, withadmirable logic , that the rain would damage thehat, but his hair would be none the worse for its wetting. This knack for going instinctively tothe heart of a matter was the secret of his major scientific discoveries — this and hisextraordinary feeling for beauty.

      I first met Albert Einstein in 1935 , at the famous Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J. He had been among the first to be invited to the Institute, and was offered carte blanche as to salary. To the director’s dismay, Einstein asked for an impossible sum: it was far toosmall. The director had to plead with him to accept a larger salary.

      I was in awe of Einstein, and hesitated before approaching him about some ideas I had beenworking on. When I finally knocked on his door, a gentle voice said, “Come ”—with a risinginflection that made the single word both a welcome and a question. I entered his office andfound him seated at a table, calculating and smoking his pipe. Dressed in ill-fitting clothes, hishair characteristically awry , he smiled a warm welcome . His utter naturalness at once set meat ease.

      As I began to explain my ideas, he asked me to write the equations on the blackboard so hecould see how they developed. Then came the staggering — and altogether endearing —request:“Please go slowly. I do not understand things quickly. ”This from Einstein! He said itgently, and I laughed. From then on, all vestiges of fear were gone.
