Re: Einstein vs Garrison Keiler



According to <www.arts.uwo.ca/openlet/11.3/letters/04a.pdf>, Zukofsky was
quoting Einstein (result thanks to Google).

On today's (Jan 23) "Writer's Almanac" NPR program, Garrison Keiler said:
"It's the birthday of experimental poet Louis Zukofsky, born on the Lower
East Side of New York City in 1904. He once wrote, ' Everything should be
as simple as it can be?not simpler.' "

I always thought this was an Einstein quote. Can anyone add info one way
or the other?

The Garrison Keiler script is currently available at
