Albert Einstein

The celebrated novelist and historian John Dos Passos wrote a prose poem about the visit that Albert Einstein paid to Charles Steinmetz, the "The Wizard of Schenectady."

John Dos Passos died last September, much to the sorrow of this magazine, to which he had contributed frequently in recent years.
