Memories of the Great and the Famous (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781978246188)

Preface I was born in Manila on April 10, 1924. That makes me 93 years of age today in 2017, old enough to meet and talk to every President that has ever been elected to lead our country.

The first I bought was a 20-volume set of the Book of Knowledge, which I read in 20 days and got myself a college education at the age of ten. From the age of 10 to 80, I read one book every day, a total of 25,500 books a day till I was 80 years old, lived the lives and imbibed the thoughts of the greatest minds of the 20th century. After World War II, I enrolled as a student in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the best engineering (CONT. INSIDE) TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Preface 01 World Figures 1. Albert Einstein 02 2.
