Aggression is a biologically based characteristic of man, Albert Einstein wrote in an essay at the age of 36. His younger sister would certainly have agreed. In a biography of her famous brother soon to be published, along with other personal and some technical papers, by the Princeton University Press, the late Maja Winteler-Einstein tells about the prodigy's terrible temper, which caused his whole face—minus the tip of his nose—to turn yellow. Albert frightened off a violin teacher by throwing a chair at her, hurled a bowling ball at his sister, and in one fit of rage tried to "knock a hole" in her head with a toy trowel. "It is doubtless evident," wrote the harried Maja, "that a healthy skull is a necessity for the sister of a thinker." ∙
Paul du Feu, 36, British Cosmo's April centerfold pinup (with airbrushed navel), construction worker and estranged husband of Feminist Author Germaine Greer, was in Manhattan 3 to line up a publisher. He wants to write a book about "liberation from liberation. I like romance, and I want to write about how it is an aphrodisiac," he explained. As for Women's Lib, "It's just another form of puritanism. I think it makes life rather dull."

For at least a year everyone has been asking, and Actress-Singer Diahann Carroll and David Frost have been answering: "We don't believe in engagements—we believe in happiness." Last week in London, Diahann pulled off a glove to flash a ruby solitaire on her engagement finger. Naturally, reporters were on hand to ask the familiar question. "We are having a super time together," David said helpfully.

"Now look what that pinko fluff-head's gone and done." If Archie Bunker greeted the news like that, who could blame him? When All in the Family finished taping for the season, Sally Struthers, who plays Archie's daughter, Gloria, went off to be a bank robber's lap doll in Sam Peckinpah's The Getaway. And if a starlet's going to make it, she's got to let folks know everything she's got. What Sally's got is nicely displayed by some horseplay in the new movie, which she describes as a modern-day version of Bonnie and Clyde. "I have to be a loose woman, a trampy Texas lady," explains Sally. "Put a lid on it," Archie must be grousing.
