43. The memorial, at the corner of Constitution Avenue and Twenty-second Street N.W.near the Mall, is a hidden treasure of Washington.(See
picture on p.605.) The sculptor was Robert Berks, who also did the bust of John Kennedy at the Kennedy Center nearby, and the
landscape architect was James Van Sweden. On the tablet that Einstein holds are three equations, describing the photoelectric effect,
general relativity, and of course E=mc 2 . On the marble steps where the statue reclines are three quotes, including: “As long as I have any
choice in the matter, I shall live only in a country where civil liberty, tolerance, and equality of all citizens before the law prevail.” See
