and he was such a good writer too.  I didn't remember him as such a good writer, having only been exposed to his mathematical writing about Relativity.  And even tho I took Honors Calculus, the Theory of Relativity is not the easiest set of concepts to understand.  AS a result, I remembered him differently.  

He touches all the right places doesn't he?  This almost last para is the one that says it all for me.  It is why I have been such a societal interloper all my life.

This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future career.

Thanks a lot for tuning me on to this essay.  I'll return to reread it.
