Patrizia von brandenstein biography of albert einstein

German Americans (German: Deutschamerikaner) are citizens of the United States who are of German ancestry; they form the largest ethnic ancestry group in the United States, accounting for 17% of U.S. population.^[1] The first significant numbers arrived in the 1680s in New York and Pennsylvania. Some eight million German immigrants have entered the United States since that point. Immigration continued in substantial numbers during the 19th century; the largest number of arrivals moved 1840–1900, when Germans formed the largest group of immigrants coming to the U.S., outnumbering the Irish and English.^[2] Some arrived seeking religious or political freedom, others for economic opportunities greater than those in Europe, and others for the chance to start afresh in the New World. California and Pennsylvania have the largest populations of German origin, with more than six million German Americans residing in the two states alone.^[3] More than 50 million people in the United States identify German as their ancestry; it is often mixed with other Northern European ethnicities.^[4] This list also includes people of German Jewish descent.

Americans of German descent live in nearly every American county, from the Ea

Toronto Film Review: ‘Words and Pictures’

Pen and paintbrush vie for supremacy in Fred Schepisi's flaccid highbrow romantic comedy.

The pen may be mightier than the sword, but if a picture is worth a thousand words, who would win in a duel? That dialectical dilemma sets the stage for “Words and Pictures,” a highbrow romantic comedy that pits Clive Owen’s eccentric English teacher against Juliette Binoche’s disabled painter in a battle for the hearts and minds of their students — and, of course, each other. This kind of turf war between passion and reason, intellect and intimacy, is old hat for director Fred Schepisi, who plowed similar ground to sparkling effect in films like “Roxanne” and “Six Degrees of Separation” (even the Albert Einstein piffle “I.Q.”). But this time out, both the words and the pictures are surprisingly flaccid, largely due to Gerald DiPego’s literate but hopelessly contrived screenplay and direction that lacks Schepisi’s usual snap.
