TIME Magazine has named Albert Einstein as its Man Of The Century, according to an exclusive story in the Drudge Report.
The magazine has named Franklin Delano Roosevelt, President of the United States between 1933 and 1945 as runner-up with Mahatma Gandhi.
According to Drudge, TIME says:
In a century that will be remembered foremost for its science and technology — in particular for our ability to understand and then harness the forces of the atom and universe — one person clearly stands out as both the greatest mind and paramount icon of our age: the kindly, absent-minded professor whose wild halo of hair, piercing eyes, engaging humanity and extraordinary brilliance made his face a symbol and his name a synonym for genius, Albert Einstein.
