...unless one lives in Alan Dershowitz's world, it must be patently obvious, for all the well documented sociological and economic reasons, that the minority pool of applicants for highly competitive colleges will be a relatively smaller one than the comparable majority pool. No amount of wishful thinking can alter the effects of the pervasive disadvantages which minority students face at all levels of their education.

In these scenes Wilder displays a dramatic sensitivity which his more recent Mel Brooks roles have not allowed him to develop. The comedy and conflicts generated by this situation might have been sufficient material for a light...
