DISCOVER: "Albert Einstein is big business. Walk into any science
museum store and you'll find Einstein magnets, posters, spoons, books,
CDs, finger puppets and dolls--all offered for a price. For the second
year running, Forbes ranked Albert Einstein fifth on the list of top-
earning dead celebrities, with $18 million worth of Einstein product
changing hands. But how does this enterprise--this Einstein Inc.--work,
and where does all the money go?.....Yet just as Einstein's universe
was a warped, dimpled, and deformed affair, so too is the landscape of
Einstein commerce. Amid all the coffee mugs and other paraphernalia,
there's a vastly complicated side to the enterprise left in Einstein's
wake. To make almost anything Einstein--be it product, product name, or
advertisement --you must first get past a small but powerful cabal that
has included a marketing firm in Beverly Hills, the upper echelon of
Israel's Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and a company owned by
another Forbes top earner (a living one): Bill Gates. This formidable
group can put the kibosh on a wide range of Einstein products, flying,
perhaps, in the face of the "free, unhampered exchange of ideas" that
Einstein favored in "all spheres of cultural life."
