Albert Einstein's desk, several hours after his death, makes the Little Darwin work bench on which there are many dry biros , broken pencils , a toothpick, old computer chips , numerous notebooks jam packed with indecipherable scribble, several containers filled with mixed books, photos, postcards and ephemera, less embarrassing.The cranky computer rises above the debris -mounted on a flat copy of Le Morte D'Arthur, by Sir Thomas Malory,illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley.A frantic search of a nearby,dusty bookshelf for a reference book failed, but a long lost volume was found.What happened to that photograph taken at the live frog eating contest in Darwin? It was on the desk about a week ago.
