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." sb

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.

Black Panther Party Chairman Bobby Seale, the Chicago Eighth whose courtroom outbursts 21 years ago caused him to be chained and gagged, has apparently mellowed. The word pig never crossed his lips when, shepherded by three bodyguards, he spoke to an audience of 4,000 in Oakland, Calif. Instead of suggesting armed rebellion, he urged his listeners to take tests for sickle-cell anemia and to vote "for survival." In a move reminiscent of oldtime political bosses, he then distributed bags of food, each containing a frozen chicken. "Politicians used to promise momma a chicken in every pot," Scale said in a gravelly voice, "but we're producing it. If necessary, we'll open a free pot program to cook the chicken in."

When first she went to Kenya 20 years ago, Elizabeth was a princess and Jomo ("Burning Spear") Kenyatta was the underground leader of the Mau Mau, then waging a bloody war against Europeans in the British colony. It was during that visit that George VI died and Elizabeth became Queen of England. Last week she returned to Africa and met Kenyatta for the first time on Kenya soil. Now President of his country, Jomo gave the Queen his nation's highest award--the Order of the Golden Heart. Elizabeth responded by investing her host with the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, and--for an old warrior turned rose fancier--a silver flower bowl.

Losing control on a steep icy pitch of New Hampshire's Mount Tecumseh, where she was skiing with seven of her eleven children, Ethel Kennedy landed on her back. Her acrobatics caused boot-top fractures of two bones in her right leg, which were set by doctors at the lodge infirmary. Hardly worth mentioning, however, compared to the snap, crackle and pop of Motorcycle Daredevil Evel Knievel, who, by rough count, broke his 101st, 102nd, 103rd and 104th bones at the Michigan State Fairgrounds last week. The latest fracture of his collarbone and ribs will not, of course, deter Knievel from his scheduled motorcycle leap this week in Sacramento, Calif., where he aims to soar over a pit filled with cars, mountain lions and 100 rattlesnakes.

Last June Frank Sinatra announced his retirement from the world of show biz in characteristically theatrical fashion, crooning to a wet-eyed audience at a Los Angeles charity gala the last line from Angel Eyes: '"Scuse me while I disappear." Well, maybe not quite yet. Sinatra's announced plans--to "write a little bit"--may be put off by his appearance in another film, a musical based on Antoine de Saint Exupery's fairy tale, The Little Prince. The book is about a "little man" who convinces a pilot downed in the desert that life is worth living. The lure dangled before Sinatra is the pilot's role, a substantial salary and the chance to sing half a dozen songs written by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. If Sinatra says yes, Paramount Pictures plans to release The Little Prince next Easter.
