ON APRIL 15, 1955, ALBERT EINSTEIN ENTERED PRINCETON HOSPITAL--HE HAD SUFFERED A RUPTURE OF AN AORTIC ANEURISM TWO DAYS EARLIER. ON APRIL 17 HE TELEPHONED HIS SECRETARY, HELEN DUKAS, AND ASKED FOR WRITING MATERIALS... 1I have spent most of my life trying to coax the truth from nature, and having had some luck in this coaxing, to share the results with my fellow man. I have achieved a reputation--much of it far beyond what I deserve, some of it having nothing really to do with my accomplishments. (People forget than I am and always was a theorist, not a builder.) But I feel guilty now--not so much because of what the world has done with my theories, but because in a sense I haven't been true to my own expectations as a theorist. I have always believed that a scientist must be completely open in laying bare the roots of his theory--for a science clothed in secrecy and lies cannot be validly tested--and yet I have not been completely honest in telling the world how I came up with my theories. In fact, I have left out, and deliberately, what I now see as the most important part. I propose to rectify that now.
