"The Institute for Advanced Study was home to Einstein in decline, the place where the father of relativity worked the 20 fruitless years on field theory and wrote naive political tracks. It was where Kurt Godel starved himself in paranoid delusion, and where J. Robert Oppenheimer road out his political persecution with boozy evenings in the Director's mansion. Founded in 1933 by philanthropic department store magnate, the Institute has played host to fourteen Nobel prize winner is and to most of the great physicists and mathematicians of the twentieth century. Who Got Einstein's Office? tells, for the first time, the story of this 'intellectual hotel' designed solely to indulge the Mandarins of theory, and is suspended, nation of science and anecdote." -- from the front fold over panel blurb.
