Canadian Sri Lanken Michael Ondaatje's expertly woven non linear storytelling mesmerized me from the moment I first picked up the English Patient in high school. It comes as no surprise that I find the same genius in Australian Sri Lanken @PhoenixBlackNow She's a name to watch.

"There is no place for #antisemitism, #Islamophobia or the celebration of violence in political commentary. Nor should criticism or support of either side be reflexively conflated with racism or support for terror." Read the full statement: buff.ly/3QAyuda

Einstein's desk photographed a day after his death, 1955. Albert Einstein's office, left undisturbed just hours after the passing of the Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Princeton, New Jersey, April 1955. Ralph Morse, a celebrated photographer for LIFE magazine, captured the untouched state of Einstein's office, freezing a moment in time. Within this room filled with books, papers, and chalkboards adorned with equations, one can find a poignant glimpse into the daily life of one of history's greatest minds. Albert Einstein, whose groundbreaking theories shattered and reshaped our understanding of the universe, succumbed to heart failure on April 18, 1955, at the age of 76. His funeral and cremation were deeply private occasions, and the sole photographer to document this extraordinary day was Ralph Morse from Life Magazine. Armed with his camera and a bottle of scotch, which he used to open doors and ease conversations, Morse meticulously documented the passing of a 20th-century icon. Yet, apart from one iconic image of Einstein's office, preserved exactly as he left it, taken mere hours after his demise, the photographs Morse took that day remained unpublished. At the request of Einstein's son, who sought privacy for the family during their period of mourning, LIFE's editors decided not to publish the entire story. For over five decades, Morse's images lay forgotten in the magazine's archives.
