"The shining Genji" : it was almost too grand a name. Yet he did not escape criticism for numerous little adventures. It seemed indeed that his indiscretions might give him a name for frivolity, and he did what he could to hide them. But his most secret affairs (such is the malicious work of the gossips) became common talk. If, on the other hand, he were to go through life concerned only for his name and avoid all these interesting and amusing little affairs, then he would be laughed to shame by the likes of the lieutenant of Katano.

Excerpt: ... my companions. My Ruler is the eldest son of my parents, and his ministers are his retainers. To respect those great in years is the way to "treat the elderly as elderly should be treated." To be kind to the orphaned and the weak is the way to "treat the young as young should be treated." i The sage harmonizes with Their Virtue; the worthy receive what is most excellent from Them. All under Heaven who are tired, crippled, exhausted, sick, brotherless, childless, widows or widowers - all are my siblings who are helpless and have no one else to appeal to. To care for them at such times is the practice of a good son. To be delighted and without care, because trusting Them, is the purest filial piety. .

The professional classes (doctors, lawyers, etc.) occupy an uncertain ground between the two, and the lower classes (servants, laborers, beggars -the majority) don't figure at all yet. Today most revolutions are by the working classes against an entrenched middle class (although that middle class might be wealthy enough to live like aristocracy); during the period we are studying, it was the middle class struggling against the aristocracy. History repeats itself with modifications. Economics A. For centuries, the fundamental mark of wealth was land, which could not be bought or sold, or even inherited except by the eldest son .

His Ph.D. work concerning special relativity received some attention by Einstein, but political turmoil in Hungary and a ceiling for the number of Jews at universities led Lanczos to move to Germany.
