My initial joy about the project was tempered, however, by a pinch of
sadness. I realized that most future Einstein researchers would no longer
have to make the journey to the cozy house on the edge of the Caltech
campus where the scholars of the Einstein Papers Project were eager to
embrace their rare visitors and ply them with guidance, insights and tea.
They wouldn’t likely spend delightful days there—as I did for my biography
of Einstein—with the science historian Diana Kormos-Buchwald and her
colleagues as they debated such issues as how to explain what Einstein
meant when he referred to quanta as “spatial” or his fellow Jews as
*Stammesgenossen
*(tribal comrades).

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
