Forgive me for having mentioned "human dignity." I almost forgot that it has been stated in a recent Harvard publication that blacks are "genetically inferior." I am referring, of course, to Arthur A. Jensen's article on black inferiority (Harvard Educational Review), which reads more like the gossip column of a South African newspaper, than like a purportedly scientific document. What is a black man to think of this institution when such a scandalous article is allowed to go unchallenged by the same professor who signed the Hunt Hall counter protest--some of whom were eminent geneticists.

...courage. When politicians were unwilling to raise taxes to slow inflation and narrow federal budget deficits, the board did the job by restricting money. Then Martin calmly absorbed the resulting criticism, most notably after the "credit crunch" of 1966. To blame the Federal Reserve for that, says Arthur Okun, who was Lyndon Johnson's chief economist, is "like scolding a driver who just avoided hitting a jaywalking child because he stopped short with four feet to spare...

...itself. It emphasizes, however, the value of the practice that allowed a suitable interval to elapse before the present tried to judge the past. Today Presidents have taken to employing historians as personal aides, partly in the hope that they will be written up lovingly. Sometimes they are-witness Arthur Schlesinger's study of John F. Kennedy. And sometimes the joke is on the Chief Executive. Eric Goldman's bestselling memoir of White House life with Lyndon Johnson emphatically belongs in the latter category...
