Einstein understood the power of images. Throughout his life he conjured simple scenes to illustrate complex ideas: a plummeting elevator, a train speeding through a lightning storm, a blind beetle creeping along a curved surface. To explain his special theory of relativity he would joke: “A minute sitting on a hot stove seems like an hour, but an hour sitting with a pretty girl passes like a minute.” In time, he too would become a symbol, the purest embodiment of that enigmatic quality: genius.

Emboldened by success, Richman even began to target companies that used Einstein’s name without any intended association with the physicist. The Einstein Bros Bagel company caved to the university’s demands, despite being named after its own founders. For one academic at the Hebrew University, Richman’s aggressive stance presented a troubling ethical dilemma.

Reborn as a public figure in this, the first flowering of mass media, Einstein began to receive torrents of fan mail. “I’m burning in Hell and the postman is the devil,” he wrote four weeks after Eddington’s presentation, complaining that he was so hounded by the press that he could “barely breathe”. Still, Einstein continued to give interviews, where his easy wit and talent for aphorism made for good copy. He wrote editorials for national newspapers and kept glittering company. He had a kind of undefinable charisma. “Einstein’s personality, for no clear reason, triggers outbursts of a kind of mass hysteria,” wrote a bewildered German consul in New York in 1931. While researching the law, Richman found a case involving the son of Bela Lugosi, the Hungarian-American actor best remembered for his performance as Dracula. In 1966, Lugosi’s son sued Universal Pictures, claiming that he and his stepmother owned his father’s image rights, not the movie studio. Lugosi’s son won the case at trial, but the high court overturned the ruling on the grounds that his father had not sold his image for commercial purposes during his lifetime. Richman deduced, then, the heirs of any celebrity who had sold his or her image during their lifetime had a claim on their publicity rights.To add legal heft to his threats, WC Fields’ grandson, Everett, suggested that Richman draft a celebrity rights law. At first, Richman thought the idea preposterous. But when the California senator William Campbell expressed interest in drafting such a law, Richman wrote more than 80 letters to “widows and orphans of celebrity greats”, and amassed a group of powerful supporters, including Elizabeth Taylor, Elvis Presley’s ex-wife Priscilla and Bing Crosby’s widow Kathryn. After two rejections, the California Celebrity Rights Act passed on 1 January 1985. In California, at least, heirs could now legally inherit the publicity rights of their celebrity ancestors who had died in the state. With a legal precedent established in California, Richman was in business. It was time, he decided, to come to the rescue of his father’s old friend, Albert Einstein.

In November 2009, General Motors had placed an advertisement in People magazine that depicted Einstein’s face pasted on to a muscled body, accompanied by the slogan: “Ideas are sexy too.” The Hebrew University protested: “Dr Einstein with his underpants on display … causes injury to [the university’s] carefully guarded rights in the image and likeness of the famous scientist.” Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers!

Rosenkranz was not the only person to feel uneasy about the arrangement. In early 2011, when she was 70, Einstein’s adoptive granddaughter, Evelyn, announced plans to sue the Hebrew University for what she considered to be a gross overreach of their role. What had started out as an act of curation had, in her view, evolved into a form of exploitation. “I was really offended by some of the stuff that was being OKed,” Evelyn told a journalist from the New York Post. Evelyn’s friend, the lawyer Allen Wilkinson, told me that “she could not stand the fact that they were profiting from Einstein bobbleheads and other bits of memorabilia that have nothing to do with literary rights”. The university, Evelyn claimed, had ignored her requests for an arrangement that would allow her to profit from the sales to help pay her medical bills. The Universe Is Made Of Protons, Neutrons, Electrons and Morons *Physics* t-shirt tee // funny t-shirts / t-shirt funny / funny shirt In the years since, there have been repeated calls for US Congress to step in and pass a uniform statute for the entire country. “Until they do, it’s highly variable,” said Schechter. Outside of the US, the law is equally uneven. In Brazil, posthumous rights persist for as long as there are living heirs. In Germany, the period is 70 years. In England and Wales, by contrast, there is no clear right of publicity at all. Lawyers seeking to protect an individual’s image and personality must instead resort to what one firm describes as “ a patchwork of legal rights”.The university seemed happy to keep a low profile while Richman fought its profitable battles. “I didn’t get the impression that people were at all aware of the university’s role during this period,” Rosenkranz told me. “But Richman had the reputation of being a tough cookie in the negotiations – which was in the university’s interest.” Whenever he walked into the living room of his parents’ house in the town of Washington, New York, Roger Richman saw a framed photograph of Albert Einstein standing with his father. Richman’s father, Paul, had befriended Einstein in the 1930s when they worked together to help German Jews resettle in Alaska, Paraguay and Mexico. (At the time, most of the US was closed to those fleeing Nazi oppression.) Richman’s father died in 1955, three months after Einstein, but the Richman family remained close to the keepers of Einstein’s legacy. Albert Einstein is born in Ulm, Germany.

They don’t have rights.’” Others denied that their Einstein-themed product had any association with the physicist. “There was a word processor called ‘Einstein’ that was popular in Israel at the time,” Rosenkranz told me. “The company even used the word ‘genius’ in its marketing.” But the makers claimed that the Einstein software was named not after the physicist Albert but after the company’s founder, Stuart. (According to Rosencranz the argument worked, and the company never paid up.)

Richman considered himself the underdog. “Oftentimes I became despondent over the power and influence of the opposition,” he wrote in an unpublished memoir. “I was fighting major advertising agencies, broadcasters, film studios, manufacturers and publishers – a belligerent field.” He was energised, however, by what he considered to be a moral cause. How could anyone, Richman wrote, “not want to remove a presidential dildo from the marketplace?” Women's Got Brains?

Photograph: VCG/Getty Images Rosenkranz was uneasy about his role. He believed Einstein would have been against most, if not all, marketing associations. “If it was purely commercial, he was usually against it,” he said. Yet Richman put pressure on him to approve a far wider range of proposals. Rosenkranz recalled that when he rejected a deal from Huggies diapers, Richman was particularly unhappy. “It wasn’t purely about profit for him,” recalled Rosenkranz. “But in the end, it was a business. And I am in academia. It was not an easy topic.” Cute Panda shirt • Kids halloween shirt • Kids shirt designs • Panda Gifts • Bear t-shirts • adults kids unisex • Panda Costume ShirtHis intellect made Einstein famous, but it was his appearance that made him an icon. Few understood the implications of his work – “ 4,000 bewildered as Einstein speaks,” wrote the New York Times – but his image, spread via the accelerating technologies of print and television, was eminently approachable. The frazzled hair, the frowsy jumper, the caterpillar moustache, the hangdog jowls and those sad, galactic eyes. “He was slovenly,” Robert Schulmann, a former editor of the Collected Papers of Einstein told me. “And at some point, it began to work in his favour.” Einstein’s image endeared him to the world, suggesting that here was a mind too occupied with higher questions to spare much thought to, say, a comb.
