I wouldn't pit my brain against Albert Einstein's, and I certainly wouldn't bid against the guy who forked over $404,000 in an auction for one of Einstein's letters. Just a guess, but I think he has a higher credit limit on his cards than I do.
Is this undisclosed bidder a show-off, a physics buff, a spend-thrift, or are the contents of this letter really worth that much money? It depends upon how much you value the genius quantum physicist's thoughts about God--and religion (terms that, for some, are mutually exclusive). An article in today's New York Times gives us a peek into this unique missive, at a price that will fit our budgets.
