EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955).  Einstein was one of the greatest thinkers in the history of mankind. It is believed that Einstein was the most brilliant physicist ever to exist.  His theories of relativity led to an entirely new way of thinking about time, space, matter, energy, and gravity.  Einstein's work led to major scientific advances such as the control of atomic energy and to many of the current investigations of space being made by astrophysicists today.

CHURCHILL, Winston (1874-1965).  Once called "a genius without judgement," rose through a stormy career to become an internationally respected statesman during World War II. He was one of Britain's greatest Prime ministers.  When he was 12 his father sent him to Harrow. A chunky explosive redhead, Winston stayed in the lowest grades "three times longer than anyone else." In later life he said, "By being so long in the lowest form I gained an immense advantage over the clever boys. They all went on to learn Latin and Greek and splendid things like that. But I was taught English. When he was 16, he entered Sandhurst, a historic British military college. There he excelled in studies of tactics and fortifications and graduated 8th in a class of 150.
