> Masood considered it quite a coup for Aligarh Muslim University that he had obtained from the Nizam of Hyderabad (under whom he had served as minister) funds for two richly endowed chairs, in physics and chemistry. To the chemistry chair he appointed a young Englishman whose merits I could not appreciate but whom I found friendly, and who became my neighbor. In physics, Masood thought it a triumph when he pushed through the appointment of a German whose only qualification was a letter of recommendation from Einstein, and whose merit in Einstein's eyes could only have been that he was an unemployed Jew - for he never displayed any other qualities.

Einstein, what's going on big guy?
