"You're aware the boy failed my grade school math class, I take it?
And not that many years later he's teaching college. Now I ask you: Is
that the sorriest indictment of the American educational system you
ever heard? [pauses to light cigarette.] No aptitude at all for long
division, but never mind. It's him they ask to split the atom. How he
talked his way into the Nobel prize is beyond me. But then, I suppose
it's like the man says, It's not what you know ..."

Former teacher of Albert Einstein.
