LEADING OFF Only in Princeton — Part I: More on Einstein’s brain

ast month the Princeton Echo featured a cover story by Melissa Drift on Frederick Lepore, a Princeton resident, neuro-ophthalmologist, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School professor, and author of “Finding Einstein’s Brain.” Lepore’s book traces the story of how a Princeton Medical Center pathologist named Thomas Harvey removed the great scientist’s brain after his death in Princeton in 1955, and then preserved it and cut it into hundreds of segments, which eventually found their way into the labs of various researchers, all intent on finding if Einstein’s brain possessed some special characteristic that would help explain his genius. The Echo article was read by Prince ton resident and former foundation executive Scott McVay, who forwarded it to Lucy B. Rorke-Adams, a neuropathologist who examined an estimated 20,000 brains in her professional life at the University of Pennsylvania and who at one time also possessed a slice of Einstein’s brain. Now living in Medford, New Jersey, Rorke-Adams offered the following postscript to the Echo story:

What makes Einstein tick? Even in his lifetime people wondered. Above Einstein consented to an EEG exam at Mass General Hospital in 1951.

A researcher responds

found the long article about Einstein’s brain and Dr. Lepore of considerable interest. Some of the information contained therein is not accurate so I will give details as I know them. Einstein died in 1955. His postmortem examination was done by Dr. Thomas Harvey at the Princeton Hospital. He removed the brain without permission of the next-of-kin. Dr. Harvey had done his residency training at the Philadelphia General Hospital under the supervision of Dr. William Ehrich. Dr. Ehrich was not only chief pathologist of PGH but was also chairman of the Department of Pathology of the Graduate School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania. He had a laboratory at Penn separate from the hospital path lab. The histotechnolo-

gist in the Penn lab was Marta Keller. At that time preparation of brain tissue for microscopic study was often done by a cumbersome technique utilizing a material called “celloidin.” Tissues for routine histological study were (and are) embedded in paraffin and slides are usually available for examination and diagnosis within 24 hours. The tissues are cut using a small microtome at a thickness of 3 to 5 micra [a metric unit of length equal to 1 millionth of a meter]. In contrast, brain sections usually consisted of larger pieces of tissue and were cut using a so-called sliding microtome. Mrs. Keller was a master at handling the large pieces of tissue with this microtome. In contrast to paraffin-embedded tissue, the process used by the celloidin technique required use of ether and the technician had to uti-

lize a hood to vent the ether, her hands being in the hood and her head outside of it. The entire process from beginning to end required about six months. The tissue on the slide was typically cut at 15 to 20 micra. Dr. Harvey brought Einstein’s brain to Dr. Ehrich and asked him to have Mrs. Keller prepare the slides. As far as I know Dr. Lewy had nothing to do with it. I entered residency training in July, 1958. In addition to the hospital work of doing autopsies and surgical specimens I was enrolled in the pathology course of the Graduate School of Medicine. In addition, Dr. Ehrich was a consultant for Wyeth Laboratories and involved with the toxicology studies that were part of drug development. During our residency Dr. Ehrich turned over review of the animal tissues used for the toxicology work to us residents. Mrs. Keller’s husband, Gerard Keller, was chief histologist for Wyeth Labs, hence I developed a close working relationship with him and subsequently with his wife. Mrs. Keller prepared five sets of slides of Einstein’s brain. Dr. Harvey subsequently gave one set to the chief of pathology at Yale whose name escapes me at the moment.

thologist was Dr. Harry Zimmerman, a brilliant neuropathologist who became a valued colleague when I entered the field. The second set was given to Dr. Hartwig Kuhlenbeck, then neuroanatomist at the now-defunct Women’s Medical College in Philadelphia. The third set was sent to Dr. Perceval Bailey in Chicago. I know these slides were used for teaching purposes as a dear friend and colleague of my did his neurology fellowship training in Chicago and told me that he saw them. The fourth set went to someone in California whose identity I do not know. The fifth set was given to Dr. Ehrich. On the cover of the box containing these slides Dr. Harvey inscribed his thanks to Dr. Ehrich for allowing Mrs. Keller to make them. The box containing these slides that were given to me following the death of Dr. Ehrich (in 1967)and his wife about five or six years later is currently at the College of Physicians in Philadelphia. There are 52 slides consisting of 26 serial sections of 26 samples of Einstein’s brain. One set was stained with cresyl violet, a standard technique for evaluation of brain tissue at the time, and the other set was prepared using the Weigert technique for evaluation of myelin. I had these slides for about 35 years during which time the BBC came to Philadelphia to do a television production that they called “Einstein in

America.” I spent a day with them, took photomicrographs for their use and put them in touch with Mrs. Keller with whom I had a continuing friendship and discovered Dr. Harvey’s whereabouts. I have never seen the production. I subsequently met Dr. Harvey, who came to Philadelphia for that purpose. I should say that at that time I tried to locate the other three sets whose recipients I knew. Dr. Zimmerman had left Yale and was at Montefiore Hospital in New York when I knew him. However, he was dead at the time I began this search. Neither my colleagues at Yale nor at Montefiore knew anything about them. Similarly both Doctors Kuhlenbeck and Bailey had died and the colleagues at their institutions did not know their whereabouts. I should say that the celloidin-embedded slides are in pristine condition. I know nothing about the other slides referred to in the article but if those tissues were embedded in paraffin and stained in the usual way I suspect that the quality has deteriorated. During my career as a neuropathologist I have examined upwards of 20,000 brains And I would note that there is considerable variation of gyral shape and size in the brains of normal individuals suggesting that the documented observations are most likely of no significance. — Lucy B. Rorke-Adams

Only in Princeton — Part II

he Princeton Echo story on Einstein’s brain triggered memories of another sort for Jim Floyd, a longtime Quarry Street resident and retired psychologist. Floyd writes that “Dr. Thomas Harvey was the father of a friend of mine, Rob, since high school.” Dr. Harvey’s samples of the brain were in the basement of their home on Jefferson Road — a fact that was the subject of some playful bantering by the kids in the neighborhood. In what seems a remarkable coincidence, Floyd reports that Rob Harvey, who became a sculptor as an adult and now lives in Hopewell, was hired by Robert Berks to work on the Einstein monument in Washington, D.C. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein_Memorial). The work took place in Berks’ studio in Orient, Long Island, and the head bust used for the monument was in turn the model for the Einstein sculpture that was installed in 2005 in front of the old Borough Hall on Monument Drive.

School District news: Baxter new PHS principal

essica Baxter, pictured above, for the past seven years the assistant principal at Princeton High School, has been appointed as the successor to Gary Snyder, who is stepping down at the

end of the current school year after 16 years on the job. As assistant principal, Baxter has served as the district anti-bullying coordinator and president of the Princeton Administrators Association. She was in charge of implementing the Challenge Success student-engagement survey at the high school. She was cochair of a committee that recently recommended a later start time and a new bell schedule at the high school. Before coming to Princeton High in 2012, she was a Spanish and ESL teacher at Hanover Park High School. Baxter holds an M.A. in educational leadership from the College of Saint Elizabeth and an M.A. in applied lin-

guistics from Montclair State University, where she earned a B.A. in Spanish education. The new principal, said Superintendent Steve Cochrane in announcing the appointment, “is a powerful voice for equity in our schools. She truly understands the issues of wellness faced by our students; and she has been instrumental in supporting teachers in their shift to more authentic, problembased learning. Equally significant, she believes in schools as places of celebration.” According to a Board of Education press release, Baxter “was chosen after a national search and a comprehensive selection process involving students, staff, parents, and community members.”

Taxes up nearly 3 percent

eanwhile, the Board of Education released details for its new budget, which projects additional $276 a year in school taxes for the owner of a home assessed at the town’s average value of $838,562. The increase amounts to a 2.94 percent rate hike, more than the state tax increase cap of 2 percent but one for which the Princeton board hopes to get a waiver because of increased health insurance costs. Superintendent Cochrane, interviewed by Planet Princeton, cited rising energy costs, contract obligations that are above 2 percent for district employees, an increase in enrollment of more than 2 percent, and the expansion of the charter school has impacted the district, as well as increased healthcare costs. “Lots of factors are driving us way past that 2 percent line that makes very difficult from a long-term perspective,” Cochrane said. The district was able to decrease a $2 million budget gap with a $450,000 health care tax cap waiver from the state. The district also received $130,000 more in state aid than last year. Officials had hoped for more aid. According to a report in Planet Princeton, the district had to make cuts to programs and staff to balance the budget. Some positions were eliminated through attrition, and some teacher stipends for extra activities will be eliminated. Officials did not say which positions will be eliminated. Spending for supplies and equipment was kept flat or reduced. The charter school will receive $6.5 million for its 417 students next year. Cranbury will pay $18,555 per pupil to send its students to Princeton High. Board member Brian McDonald, also quoted in the Planet Princeton report, said school officials need to restart conversations with nonprofits about contributions that former board member Dafna Kendal initiated last year. He also said the district needs to look at getting voluntary support for public education from the community.

Einstein to the right, or to the left

f you ever wanted to live next door to Albert Einstein, or at least his former house, now is your moment. The houses on both sides of the Nobel Prize winner’s former home at 112 Mercer Street (now passed by deed to current faculty at the Institute for Advanced Study) are on the market. The house on the left, 108 Mercer (used for the movie “I.Q.”), is a 5-bedroom, 6-bath house listed by CallawayHenderson at $1.45 million. No. 114, the house on the right, also listed by Callaway-Henderson, has been listed at $1.299 million and is said to have a sale pending.

What’s fair in FAR?

f you own a house on a small lot in town you may have been concerned about the plan to eliminate the special consideration such lots now receive when calculating the floor-area ratio (FAR) for zoning purposes. As the zoning

Bond referendum: Echoes of 2001

he $27 million bond referendum approved by voters last November was supposed to be a non-controversial alternative to the previous proposal, a $130 million referendum that went through various forms of downsizing but never gained enough support to justify a vote. But the projects funded by the new bond issue have already caused some discussion. The $27 million referendum was intended to finance air conditioning systems at all elementary schools and upgrades to the air conditioning at John Witherspoon Middle School. But because of limited time and because the installation needs to be done over the summer when students are not present, the decision was made to only install air conditioning at the district’s smallest elementary school, Riverside. The other schools will not receive the air conditioning upgrade until the summer of 2020. Even with the reduced scope of the project, the board’s facilities committee suggests that some work may continue in the fall but after regular school hours. And the project will not include Riverside’s multipurpose room, which will receive air conditioning at a later date, according to a report filed on Planet Princeton. Air conditioning will also be installed this summer at the high school gym.

ordinance now stands, such houses are allowed proportionately more square footage than ones on larger lots. Taking that bonus away, the zoning department has argued, would help deter some of the tear downs and McMansions rising in their stead. But last month some vocal homeowners spoke out, arguing that eliminating the bonus would also prevent them from making even modest additions to their existing homes. Council punted on the matter to the March 25 meeting, discussed it again, and then punted again, continuing the hearing to Monday, April 22. The punts are not without good cause. Having opened the door to reconsidering FAR, Council now seems open to address even more substantial changes to the zoning ordinance, a cumbersome set of rules imposed back in the 1970s when visions of split levels with big yards danced in suburb dwellers’ heads. “Our town has taken a path toward band-aid zoning,” said architect Josh Zinder, a Moore Street

Scott Downie of the Spiezle Architectural Group, the district’s architect for the work, appeared at a special meeting of the school board last month to review the timetable for the projects. As reported in Planet Princeton, Downie said that electrical upgrades will be made through the summer at the elementary schools, and that security upgrades at the elementary schools and middle school will begin over the summer and be completed in the fall. The high school’s bookstore will be converted into a dining area in the summer and fall. Projects still to be completed include work on the athletic fields and bathrooms at the high school football field, a second floor addition at the high school, alterations of the high school fitness center and guidance area, the renovation of the old library space and nurse’s area at the high school, and a high school security vestibule. The $27 million of projects was also the subject of board discussion for another reason — haunting memories of the 2001 bond referendum. Some townspeople, and even some current School Board members, recall that $81.3 million referendum for a series of construction mishaps, including ongoing flooding of the new performing arts center at the high school. At a meeting on February 26 those memories were awakened when the board voted to hire Epic Management,

the same firm that was hired in 2001, to manage the current construction work in the district. Daniel Dart and Debbie Bronfeld voted not to hire Epic. Bill Hare abstained. “I’m for transparency, openness, and community involvement,” Dart was quoted as saying by Planet Princeton. “I had asked that this evaluation — partly because of the skills in our community — be done in open session. It was done in closed session. So we did not have the input of the community. The community is paying for the $27 million and I thought they should play a role in how it was spent.” A representative of Epic, Joel Lizotte, pointed out that the firm now has more experience and is working with an architectural firm, Spiezle Architectural Group, that has experience in working with K-12 educational projects. In 2001, Lizotte was quoted as saying, “we worked with an architectural firm that, while very famous and very large and very sophisticated, was not K-12 architects, and so there was a lot of back and forth to try to make a non-K-12 architect into one.” The architect for the project financed by the 2001 referendum was Hillier, the Princeton-based firm that was later sued by the board for errors and omissions after work on the high school took two years longer than scheduled. “Our experience with Spiezle is dramatically different,” Lizotte said.

resident. “The solution is neighborhood zoning,” with zoning scaled to the actual conditions in the neighborhood. Council member David Cohen, also an architect, warned that there is no “silver bullet” in zoning and it would be “impossible to get rid of changes” in a neighborhood that people don’t like while at the same time “preserving all rights of existing property owners.” Moreover, a survey of all tear-downs in the community in the last half dozen years showed that only about 13 percent used the proportional FAR bonus to rebuild a bigger house.

Council’s Tim Quinn thanked his colleagues for “the pause” to allow further study. “When it comes to land use there are no easy answers,” he said. But the underlying question is how we can incentivize middle class housing.”

Getting Healthy is a Walk in the Park The Health Benefits of Walking According to the National Institutes for Health, just 2.5 hours of moderate aerobic activity per week will help most adults stay healthy. For many, deciding on a fitness program and finding the time to exercise can stop the most well-meaning person in their tracks. Luckily, getting on the path to better health can literally be as easy as a walk in the park. “Walking has a low risk of injury and you don’t need any memberships, special equipment or training to get started,” said DR. JILL YOUNG, a board certified physician at Capital Health Primary Care – Quakerbridge. “Most people don’t need to see a doctor before they begin a walking program, but if you have a chronic health issue or you’re over age 40 and have been inactive for a while, check with your primary care doctor to establish a fitness routine that’s safe for you.” In addition to seeing patients at Capital Health’s primary care office in Lawrenceville, NJ, Dr. Young is a trustee of the 22-mile Lawrence Hopewell Trail, a non-profit that provides communities in Hopewell and Lawrence Townships a safe environment for walking, jogging, and biking.

A brisk walk 30 minutes a day, five days a week will help you burn calories, strengthen your muscles and bones, and can lower your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. If you have a tight schedule to work around, Dr. Young suggests breaking your walks into three 10-minute sessions per day to enjoy the same benefits, all of which improve your overall fitness and lift your mood along the way. Whether it’s scheduling a wellness check-up or you’re just not feeling well, Capital Health understands that advanced medicine starts with your primary care doctor. If you don’t already have a primary care provider, Capital Health’s Primary Care Network offers convenient offices throughout the greater Mercer, Bucks and Burlington county region.

DON’T LOSE SLEEP OVER DAYLIGHT SAVINGS BASIC TIPS FOR A BETTER NIGHT’S SLEEP Daylight savings time may be a welcome sign of spring and the long summer nights to come, but the “lost hour” can have short-term effects on your normal sleeping patterns. “When you ‘spring forward’ and advance your clocks an hour, the change disrupts your sleep pattern and causes your body clock to become out of sync with the daylightnighttime cycle,” said DR. CALLUM DUPRE, board certified neurologist, fellowship trained sleep medicine specialist, and medical director of the Capital Health Center for Sleep Medicine. “If you’re a night owl, the switch to daylight savings time could have a more noticeable impact.” Your best defense against the disruption caused by the time change is maintaining a consistent sleep routine. Instead of altering your schedule to compensate for the hour of sleep you lose, select a bedtime ritual, such as a warm bath, listening to calm music or reading a book. After you make it through the time change, sticking to a routine year round

OTHER TIPS INCLUDE:

… Create a relaxing bedroom. ∙∙ Remove work materials, computers and televisions. ∙∙ Keep it quiet, dark and cool. … Reduce or eliminate caffeine, nicotine and alcohol intake. … If you can't sleep, try relaxing in another room until you feel tired. … Exercise regularly but not close to bedtime.

will go a long way in improving your quality of sleep and reducing your risk of illness and chronic health problems. If you or your family is having sleep-related problems, contact the Capital Health Center for Sleep Medicine.

On December 19, President & CEO Al Maghazehe and other members of Capital Health’s senior management team joined the CAPITAL HEALTH AUXILIARY for a ribbon-cutting ceremony (pictured right) that marked the grand opening of Capital Thrift, the Auxiliary’s new thrift store located at 2783 Brunswick Pike (Rt. 1 South), Lawrenceville, NJ. The Mercer Mart thrift store, which celebrated its grand opening in 1958, (pictured left) opened on West Hanover Street in Trenton before moving to Front Street until it closed in 2004. Like the Mercer Mart, Capital Thrift is completely staffed and managed by volunteers, and proceeds help the Auxiliary sponsor health and educational programs for patients at Capital Health.

Volunteer Spirit is alive and well at CAPITAL THRIFT In December 2018, the Capital Health Auxiliary celebrated the grand opening of Capital Thrift, a thrift shop in Lawrenceville, NJ that benefits health and educational programs at Capital Health. Although the store is new, the community spirit that drives this effort can trace its roots back to 1958 and an enterprise known as Mercer Mart, Capital Health’s original thrift shop. “Mercer Mart was a mainstay in the city of Trenton for 46 years until its closing in 2004,” said Donna Costanzo, president of the Capital Health Auxiliary. “Inspired by the dedication of the original founders and volunteers at the Mart—many of whom helped run the store from start to finish—we look forward to improving the community and continuing to support the many great programs at Capital Health.” Capital Thrift is located at 2783 Brunswick Pike (Rt. 1 South) in Lawrenceville, NJ.

Advanced Screening and Early Treatment helps prevent esophageal cancer Heartburn and acid reflux are common conditions, but if you’re experiencing chronic symptoms, you may have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Left untreated, GERD can cause damage to the lining of the esophagus and lead to Barrett’s esophagus, a precancerous condition that is estimated to affect more than 12 million adults in the United States. In a more severe form of Barrett’s, the lining of the esophagus also contains dysplasia (cells that are turning into cancer). “Barrett’s esophagus commonly goes undiagnosed and can lead to esophageal cancer, making it a potentially life-threatening condition of the digestive system,” said DR. JASON ROGART, director of Interventional Gastroenterology & Therapeutic Endoscopy at Capital Health. “With the advanced screening options available at our Center for Digestive Health, we work to identify Barrett’s in its earliest stages. Our goal is to identify disease progression early, when it can be treated endoscopically, without the need for surgery.” Dr. Rogart leads the Barrett’s esophagus and GERD Program at the Capital Health Center for Digestive Health, which offers these advanced screening, diagnostic and treatment options: High-definition endoscopy with narrow band imaging: Detailed imaging further enhanced by a special filter that focuses light to specific wavelengths for greater image contrast and clarity. Video Laser Endomicroscopy (VLE): High-resolution, crosssectional imaging of the outermost lining of the esophagus. Studies show this to have greater than 98 percent accuracy in detecting Barrett’s. Our experienced team at Capital Health was the first in New Jersey to offer VLE. WATS3D (wide-area transepithelial sampling with 3D computer analysis): A brush biopsy technique that can detect Barrett’s and increase the detection of cells that are turning into cancer. Molecular/DNA analysis of Barrett’s esophagus: Tissue samples collected via endoscopy are tested for the presence of biomarkers that may indicate a higher risk of progression to cancer before the development of invasive tumors. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS): Special scopes with small ultrasound probes at the tip are inserted into the esophagus to examine nodules that may arise within Barrett’s esophagus. If the nodules contain cancer or if there are abnormal lymph nodes outside the esophagus, they can be sampled under EUS-guidance with fine needle aspiration. Bravo™ pH probe: Via endoscopy, a small capsule is temporarily attached to the wall of the esophagus to measure pH levels, record GERD symptoms, and transmit readings to a small wireless receiver you wear on your waistband.

24 hour pH testing with impedance and esophageal manometry: A thin catheter is passed through the nose into the esophagus to measure whether acid or non-acid contents from the stomach are refluxing into the esophgaus. The pattern of muscle contraction within the esophagus can also be checked for abnormalities. Stretta anti-reflux endoscopic therapy: An endoscopic alternative to medical or surgical treatment of GERD, this is a safe and effective minimally invasive endoscopic procedure that is typically performed in less than 60 minutes on an outpatient (same-day) basis. It has been shown to significantly reduce and even eliminate GERD symptoms, such as heartburn, by reducing esophageal acid exposure. Our experienced team at Capital Health was the first in New Jersey to offer Stretta. Capital Health Center for Digestive Health is advancing the level of care available to patients in the region by providing comprehensive, state-of-the art diagnostics and treatments for a wide range of medical conditions involving the entire digestive system, all in one location at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Jeff Snyder: Twisting traditions and turning out tunes By Richard D. Smith

ircuit boards on table tops. Electronic parts in multitudinous bins. Control pedals on the floor, its carpeting long unchanged nor, apparently, even vacuumed. Rolls of wire everywhere, but also the tools to assemble it all, to turn a chaos of components into a creative cohesion. This workplace is in a small, nondescript one-story structure just off Alexander Road. It so much resembles a laboratory in a 1950s sci-fi film that a visitor half expects a robot to rise from the clutter and offer greetings in a polite metallic voice. But the sole occupant is Jeff Snyder, musician, inventor, and director of electronic music at Princeton University and the Princeton Laptop Orchestra (PLOrk). He’s quite human, tall and lanky with brown eyes and hair, an open manner, and ready smile, looking much younger than his 40 years in black jeans, a mustard-color crew-neck sweater, and incisive yellow Saucony running shoes. “I’m messy and take up a lot of space,” he says cheerfully. “I’m not a person anyone would want to share an office with.” But numerous Princeton students, colleagues, and audiences beyond campus happily share his music and research. Snyder not only has tremendous artistic and technological gifts, he embodies a marvelous melding of innovation with tradition, a seeming contradiction that also characterizes the university’s historic role in the vanguard of electronic music. And tradition informed by innovation also characterizes one of Snyder’s most recent projects: the al- The Princeton faculty’s Snyder as ‘Owen Lake,’ bum “The Best of Your Lies” by his alter ego, Owen playing the contravielle, one of his inventions. Lake & the Tragic Loves. It’s straight, classic country

honky tonk infused with, yes, that’s right, electronic music. A transplanted Midwesterner, Snyder was initially hired at Princeton in 2010 after a job search for a recording studio technician and computer music assistant. It was just prior to his successfully completing doctorate work at Columbia. Since then Snyder’s responsibilities have shifted and progressed. “Princeton’s got a huge history of electronic music,” he says. “It’s great to be part of that now.” One of the first American academic initiatives in electronic music was the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, set up in the 1950s by composer/professor Milton Babbitt of Princeton along with several colleagues at Columbia (where the original center was physically located.) “That was very influential, and Princeton’s been influential since then,” Snyder says, noting that recordings created at the center are available today on CD or as downloads, early classics of the comparatively young field of electronic music. “That history continues through the 1960s with Babbitt doing a lot of interesting music,” Snyder says. “In the ’80s it turned specifically to computer-related music creation, away from what had been [primarily] computer control of analog electronics and other synthesis techniques. It shifted a bit because computers became powerful enough.” In the 1990s electronic music at Princeton benefited from Dan Trueman’s arrival in the music department. In 2005 Trueman co-founded the Princeton Laptop Orchestra with computer scientist Harry Cook. PLOrk presented its first concert the following year. See SNYDER, Page 12

SNYDER, continued from page 11

Rebecca Fiebrink, a former graduate student of Cook’s, took over PLOrk in 2010, the year Snyder arrived at Princeton. It was a heady if hectic time for Snyder: he completed and defended his Columbia doctoral work while he was still settling in at Princeton. He received a doctorate with distinction in music composition in 2011. As part of his new duties Snyder concentrated on the music side of PLOrk. Fiebrink handled the computer aspects until she moved on from Princeton. By this time Trueman and Cook were focusing on their core research and teaching, so Snyder was left in sole charge of PLOrk. “Which was nice,” he says, “because I could work more on ‘What should electronic music mean here at Prince ton?’ I was able to shape that and let the students shape it to see where they want to go.” And where is electronic music going at Princeton and elsewhere? “Right now I feel electronic music has spread so much, there are so many different things that fall under electronic music,” Snyder says. “As far as electronic music at Princeton goes, what that means changes constantly with the students here, what people are interested in.” So not surprisingly much of his teaching is now student-driven. Princeton undergrads typically arrive needing not introductory instruction

or survey courses, but input and guidance on existing project interests. For example, a student might be interested in networking mobile devices to allow an audience to interact with a live stage performance of musicians. (One of Snyder’s students developed such a system called “Constellation.”) Another student might want to analyze a video signal from a camera and turn it into audio or turn other data into sound. “There are tons of different directions,” Snyder says. Some of these have included the Birl (described as “an

electronic wind instrument based on an artificial neural network parameter mapping structure”) and a Mobile Device Marching Band (defined as “any ensemble utilizing mobile computation that can travel as it performs, with the performance being independent of its location”). “Luckily I’m pretty good at learning new things,” Snyder says. “In my experience, technology is incremental. People imagine it as this phenomenon of paradigm shifts. Technology evolves. It doesn’t come out of nowhere.” And his own personal research di-

rections? “I’m really interested in creating electronic musical instruments,” he reports. “Today a computer can create basically any sound that you want it to make. But it’s not necessarily the most expressive interface. It’s not the most beautiful interface. And it’s not tactile.” Snyder has invented and marketed the Manta, a touch-sensitive music controller whose hexagonal layout resembles a cross between a honeycomb cross-section and an air filter, but there’s beauty and practicality in its design. For example, its frame is specifically made not of plastic but of wood. “You perform differently on wood,” he says, because of wood’s more touchfriendly qualities. The 200-some purchasers of the Manta seem to agree. “No one will listen a record and say, ‘Oh, that’s the Manta’ because it doesn’t have its own sound.” Which is perfectly fine because Snyder’s intention was to create an electronic music interface, not a new instrument. But, he continues, “Lately I’ve been working toward making instruments that have their own sound and integrate the audio production into the instrument itself.” These include an electric bass guitar that has the look, size, and — importantly — the feel of the familiar rock and country band instrument, but whose sounds are created with digital principles and interfaces. And he has the adventurous “brass” to be innovating in brass — specifically

a serious musical and academic interest in the trombone. As he kneels on the floor, assembling and explaining his digital interface for slide trombone, on the wall above him is an academic conference poster by Snyder and collaborators: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Feedback Trombone: Controlling Feedback in Brass Instruments.â&#x20AC;? Snyder continues to produce notable albums of electronic music that meld sensibilities old and new. The title track of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Concerning The Nature of Things,â&#x20AC;? (also released in late 2018), emphasizes modality over tonality, with a harmonium-like sound characteristic of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Early Musicâ&#x20AC;? that bridged the Medieval with the Baroque periods. But the album shifts effortlessly to selections with 1960s-style electronic music syncopations. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s both soothing and energizing and instantly recognizable as being from a distinct musical genre.

nother Snyder album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sunspotsâ&#x20AC;? (released in 2018), consists of four 18-minute-plus tracks whose sweet or searing swoops, perky syncopations, and occasional ominous thumps, sizzles, and discords immediately bring to mind the â&#x20AC;&#x153;realizationsâ&#x20AC;? of pioneering electronic music composers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a retro album,â&#x20AC;? Snyder says, when this is pointed out to him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my response to 1960s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s experimental music.â&#x20AC;? In fact, he adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I created it on a system from the 1960s.â&#x20AC;? Snyder grew up in a semi-suburban area of Minnesota, one of two children of a math and science teacher mom and an electrical engineer father. His sister also went into science and technologyrelated work as a statistician. He graduated in 2001 from the University of Wisconsin with a B.A. in music composition. He then lived for a time in Chicago and played electric guitar in an ensemble with his sister and her husband. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;My brother-in-law had played in my rock band when we were in high school together. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how she met him!â&#x20AC;?) He describes it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;kind of a punk bandâ&#x20AC;? that played covers of 1980s video game songs and tunes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was stuff from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s that we grew up on, Apple, Commodore, and Nintendo game systems,â&#x20AC;? he says. And

the trio â&#x20AC;&#x153;had an audience that was really excited to hear that kind of music.â&#x20AC;? It was an invaluable experience as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;arrangement project [in which] I figured out a way to transfer music from one medium to another.â&#x20AC;? But, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know any of the new video game music. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really into the older stuff.â&#x20AC;? No surprise, then, that Snyder is really into other older stuff, namely the â&#x20AC;&#x153;classic countryâ&#x20AC;? sound of 1960s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s Nashville music â&#x20AC;&#x201D; arranging it to include experimental electronic music elements, even to the point of creating a performance avatar â&#x20AC;&#x153;Owen Lake & the Tragic Loves.â&#x20AC;? Owen is Snyderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s middle name, Lake was the street where he grew up. The song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tragic Love,â&#x20AC;? written and performed by early bluegrass performers the Stanley Brothers, was a favorite of his. He derived the Owen Lake concept specifically from 1960s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s country and western, music that had evolved from earlier â&#x20AC;&#x153;hillbillyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Texas swingâ&#x20AC;? roots. Originally dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;honky tonkâ&#x20AC;? (after the bars in which it was popular for dancing and juke box listening), it featured pedal-steel slide guitars, by turns soaring or mournful, and palpably emotional but stoically delivered vocals. Today itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s widely and admiringly known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;classic country,â&#x20AC;? a distinct genre And the innovation of Snyder aka Lake? To subtly add the sounds, rhythms, and shadings of modern electronic music to this classic country mode, perhaps creating a new subgenre. And why not? In its own way the pedal-style guitar was as revolutionary in its impact on country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; aesthetically and technologically â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as the pipe organ was in early baroque music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The conception that innovation doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t combine well with [established] genres doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense to me,â&#x20AC;? he says. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done with affection and, best of all, not a straw of satire in this musical haystack. Snyder has a fine country voice, smooth and sincere, expressing controlled heartache, with none of the boorish country song parodies. Nor is there avant garde excess. Early

on he decided against extensive use of Vocode, a program which produces the familiar synthesized robotic-style voice, deciding it would mar rather than modernize the music. The first Owen Lake record was â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Love on My Mind,â&#x20AC;? a modest EP album released in 2009. Perhaps the title was prophetic: Snyder continued playing shows with a live band (members of the Tragic Loves have included players with professional country experience). One gig about six years ago was attended by his future wife, writer Anica Mrose Rissi. Anicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father was a doctor, her mother a violin teacher. Her country

Snyder, aka Owen Lake, adds the sounds, rhythms, and shadings of modern electronic music to the classic country mode, perhaps creating a new sub-genre. Why not? roots were more northern than Jeff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s but more rural: She grew up on Deer Island, off the coast of Maine. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meet childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s author Anica Mrose Rissi and her inspirational dog,â&#x20AC;? The Echo, September, 2017) The new Owen Lake album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Best of Your Lies,â&#x20AC;? was released at the end of last year. Although it features reinterpreted cover versions of songs by major country stars, two numbers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the title track plus â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wicked Heartâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are originals, music by Snyder, lyrics by Rissi. In the best country music tradition, the songs were composed during long car drives, though not on late night tour gig jumps but summer trips to Deer Island. Also in the best country music tradition, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Best of Your Liesâ&#x20AC;? has a refrain that contains a strong thematic song â&#x20AC;&#x153;hookâ&#x20AC;?: The singer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; knowing that his wife is cheating â&#x20AC;&#x201D; silently pleads that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have both her clothes

and her story on straight when she gets home late that night: If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give me the best of your love / Give me the best of your lies â&#x20AC;Ś And how has the Owen Lake country/electronic fusion concept gone over? Snyder sighs: â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the reviews seem to have the same refrain.â&#x20AC;? A reviewer for Soundblab.com expressed a common critical outlook, writing that â&#x20AC;&#x153;neither pure country nor club beat lovers will jump for joy over this one. They most probably want their stuff pure and unadulterated,â&#x20AC;? but then hastening to add: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personally, I love this stuff and think Lake is onto something.â&#x20AC;? Marketing has faced a similar conundrum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I make experimental music. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not making money off it,â&#x20AC;? says Snyder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The music industry is very defused. I merely make the records and hope a few people like it.â&#x20AC;? (Right now, his main online sales outlet is at jeffsnyder.bandcamp.com, but the Princeton Record Exchange will be selling his albums in both CD and vinyl LP formats.) Fortunately, Snyderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pioneering foray into electo-computer-ified country and his embrace of retro 1960s electronic realization stylings arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to corrode his avant garde music bona fides. In addition to PLOrk, he is a member of Sideband, a smaller laptop ensemble; exclusiveOr, an experimental electronic duo; the Federico Ughi Quartet jazz group; and the Mizries, an â&#x20AC;&#x153;improvisatory noise trio.â&#x20AC;? If anything, his music and design work will retain the delightful contradictions of cutting-edge traditionalism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like thinking about stuff that came before,â&#x20AC;? he says, smiling with digital precision and analog warmth, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and figuring out what sort of twist I can make on it.â&#x20AC;?

THE ARTS From the bookshelf: Redefining impossible

o Princeton University physics professor Paul Steinhardt’s way of thinking, there are two versions of impossible. The first would be something like 1 + 1 = 3 — something that is obviously, demonstrably false. The second refers to things that are extraordinarily unlikely but have a miniscule chance of being possible. “The Second Kind of Impossible” is also Steinhardt’s new book, published by Simon & Schuster in January. It is a recounting of his 35-year journey to discover a new form of matter. Steinhardt discusses the book at Labyrinth Books on Wednesday, April 17, at 6 p.m. The story is full of breakthroughs, setbacks, and a true adventure in the remotest regions of Russia, along with an in-depth glance at how the process of scientific discovery works. It starts with some recreational dabbling into a tiling pattern that seemed to defy scientists’ centuries-old understanding of the laws of symmetry — and it ends with the discovery of naturally occurring quasicrystals, a new type of matter that lacks the symmetry of traditional crystals but has an ordered structure

that still fills all available space. As Steinhardt writes in his preface: “In the early 1980s, my student and I discovered a scientific loophole in one of the most well-established laws of science and, exploiting that, realized it was possible to create new forms of matter. In a remarkable coincidence, just as our theory was being developed, an example of the material was accidentally discovered in a nearby laboratory. And soon, a new field of science was born. “But there was one question that kept bothering me: Why hadn’t this discovery been made long ago? Surely nature had made these forms of matter thousands, or millions, or perhaps even billions of years before we had dreamed them up. I could not stop myself from wondering where the natural versions of our material were being hidden and what secrets they might hold. I did not realize at the time that this question would lead me down the road to Kamchatka [Russia], an almost thirty-year-long detective story with a dizzying array of improbable twists and turns along the way. So many seemingly insurmountable barriers had to be conquered that it sometimes felt like an unseen force was guiding me and my team step by step toward this exotic land. Our entire investigation had been so ... impossible.” “The Second Kind of Impossible,” $27.

Reliving Oppenheimer

. Robert Oppenheimer. You may remember him as the theoretical physicist who served as director of the Institute for Advanced Study from 1947 to 1966, the longest tenure of any Institute director. Or as the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, where the Manhattan Project led to the creation of the atomic bomb, and earned a memorable nickname for Oppenheimer: “The father of the A-Bomb.” Or as one of the figures in the Cold War hunt for Communist sympathizers. So who was Oppenheimer really? Numerous biographies have been written in attempts to answer that question. Now comes a piece of fiction aiming to do the same: A novel called “Trinity,” by Louisa Hall, a Harvard alumna and writer in residence at Montana State. Hall will discuss her book Wednesday, April 10, at the Old Guard of Princeton alumni group, and in a public appearance Friday, April 12, at 5:30 p.m. at the Institute for Advanced Study. Appearing in a conversation with her will be Pia de Jong, novelist (and columnist for the Echo), and a person who has a unique insight into the role of director of the Institute — de Jong is married to the current director, Robbert Dijkgraaf. In a publicity statement Hall explains what drew her to write about Oppenheimer and what aspects of his life she finds to be relevant today:

“I was drawn to Oppenheimer first because of the bizarre nature of his security hearings, in which his friends and colleagues and family members were called to a secret room in Washington to testify on the question of whether or not Oppenheimer could be trusted in matters of national security. Over and over again, they were asked about his relationships with women, his friendships, the books he read, the activities he enjoyed, and whether and how well they really knew him. And over and over again, his friends and family members were forced to admit that they couldn’t be entirely certain they did. In some ways, his trial became a question of how well we can ever understand the people we care for, or the people to whom we decide to give power. “Still, though I began the project imagining that I was writing about Robert Oppenheimer, I came to realize that in fact I was writing about myself and my own growing fears about how well I could understand the motivations of people in positions of power, both in my own life and in the world at large. Oppenheimer came to represent such a person: a man with the ability to create or deploy a weapon that would instantly destroy a whole city. “This novel—which takes the form of a long trial—is my attempt to gain solid ground in such a chaotic state.”

driver heading north on Route 27 from Princeton toward Kingston could be forgiven for mistaking two things. First, for not realizing that they had left Princeton at all. Or second, for believing they had found a slice of Italy in southern Middlesex County. A case in point is the latest addition to the tiny hamlet’s hearty dining scene: Casa Gennaro. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because it’s the same Gennaro who operated first La Terrazza and then Gennaro’s Restaurant on State Road in Princeton.

ilwins, a purveyor of chocolates, ice cream, and confections, is opening soon at 16 Witherspoon Street. The space, which was most recently Lisa Jones, the clothing and accessories store, has been vacant for more than a year. Found in 1947, Kilwins now has franchises in 25 states.

Do not expect the usual spaghetti and meatballs at Casa Gennaro — unless that is exactly what you want. When we complimented him on the creative menu, Gennaro smiled and said that he considers his dishes “dining with an attitude.”

nother extension of the Princeton restaurant scene — and another taste of Italy — can be had at Eno Terra, a part of the Terra Momo restaurant group that also includes Mediterra and Teresa Caffe. The restaurant, in a rustic building dating to 1860 that was once Fisk’s General Store, offers Italianinspired cuisine with most ingredients sourced from local farms. It also has an extensive wine list and a full bar. Eno Terra is open for lunch on weekdays and dinner seven days a week. Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 3:30 to 6 p.m. The lunch menu includes soups and salads ($11 to $15) with the option to add chicken, shrimp, salmon, or hanger steak for an additional charge. Entrees are $14 to $24 and include such options as the Eno Burger with onion marmellata, fontina, peppadew pepper, garlic aioli, $16; tagliatelle pasta with braised veal, maitake mushroom, swiss chard, rosemary, pecorino, $18; and salmon with French green lentil, butter braised cabbage, parsnip puree, and spiced honey glaze, $24.

For a more casual taste of Italy, the go-to spot since 2011 has been Osteria Procaccini, which also has locations in Pennington, Crosswicks, and Ocean Grove. “Osteria,” the restaurant’s website explains, “is a modest Italian eatery; a place where a warm welcome from the family awaits each and every guest, a place where all food is comfort food because you feel comfortable being there. And Procaccini is just our last name. Our aim is to offer the most delicious home-style food with fresh, organic ingredients and the time-honored method of terra cotta oven cooking.” Much like Gennaro Costabile, the Procaccini family has strong claims on the Princeton dining scene.

Tech, pharma, finance are transforming real estate By Peter Dodds and Jud Henderson

istoric, iconic, and distinguished, Princeton combines the charm and academic and cultural resources of a college town with the power of three major industries — pharmaceuticals, technology, and financial services. Its excellent public and private schools, theaters, museums, shops, restaurants, recreational options, and a prime location between New York and Philadelphia draw a diverse, educated, and techsavvy demographic who find it a great place to live and work. The town’s economy and growth depend largely on the availability of commercial and residential real estate. And as in any dynamic economy, there have been many changes in Princeton’s real estate market that will influence buyer’s decisions to reside or do business here. Princeton’s commercial real estate inventory has changed to accommodate the profound changes in office space that has transformed from closed doors and cubicles to wide open spaces. Millennials are driving these revolutionary new offices and collaborative work spaces, disrupting corporate hierarchies, exchanging vital technical information, and redefining social interactions. Their entrepreneurial spirit and a global economy has changed 9 to 5 to 24/7, creating flexible and often long business hours. Princeton attracts these businesses with its small-town vibe, safe environment, exceptional amenities, and easy access to stores, restaurants, and Princeton University. Today Princeton’s commercial market is clearly defined. Where once the town businesses consisted largely of attorneys and other professionals, companies reflect the wider business trends impacting its core businesses. Pharmaceutical companies continue to downsize their labs in the area, and smaller research and support companies have moved into the available spaces. As financial services continue to grow, private equity and wealth management firms have expanded into new and larger spaces. Tech firms, particularly biotech and pharma startups, are drawn to the area’s many academic and technical resources and possibilities of attracting new clients and funding. These trends will impact commercial and residential real estate as businesses draw new and younger professionals and current residents downsize or expand. With stately mansions, grand Victorians, historic homes, classic ranches, architectural gems, modern houses, and contemporary condos, Princeton’s housing stock spans virtually every period of American history. While

these options do not come cheaply, the quality of life, cultural and educational opportunities, and sound investment value can make Princeton an inviting choice for families, young professionals, and empty nesters. However, as in any market, factors come into play that impact sales. 2018 marked the first year since 2009 that Princeton was down in both the number of sales and the average sale price. (In 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, we have seen a drop in the Princeton market, at its lowest since the recessionary days of 2009.) The trend continued into January and February, although admittedly slower months, with inventory up a significant 49 percent year over year. This high inventory and lower sales are not reflected in surrounding areas such as Hopewell and Lawrenceville, where home prices tend to be substantially lower. Another of these factors is the loss of deductibility for mortgages. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) altered two important tax breaks for homeowners. The old tax laws allowed itemized deductions on property taxes paid to state and local governments. The law also provided deductions on income and sales taxes. The new law limits these deductions, in total, to $10,000 for both individuals and married couples. Of course, $10,000 does not come close to covering the combined property and income tax bills in New Jersey. The residential market relies largely on local buyers who are committed to the area because of jobs, schools, and family needs. Millennials purchase first homes, families are moving into larger spaces and empty nesters are downsizing into condos and rental apartments. Rental units, particularly luxury apartments built in the last three years, are doing well, offering a range of services and facilities and renting from $2,500 to around $9,000 per month. Homeowners who find the market slowing down may opt to rent rather than selling at a lower price. Despite these challenges, there are many reasons to sell now. Traditionally, there are more buyers in the spring and current interest rates remain low. And, the Princeton market is showing a promising recalibration of prices that should generate sales.

n Tuesday, April 23, the Princeton Merchants Association will host its annual Local Real Estate Panel. Peter Dodds of Morford & Dodds Realty and Judson Henderson of Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s International Realty, alongside architects and property managers, will discuss the state of residential, office and retail activity and trends in Princeton real estate. The meeting will at the Princeton Public Library Community Room. Visit www.princetonmerchants.org for more information.
