...primary requisites for employees is proof that they are not Jewish. M. Colyer Crum, associate dean of the Business School who ran the program for Aramco officials, doesn't seem to have been bothered by this. In fact, among the course materials he distributed were sample letters proving the bearer was Christian. Crum disclaims any responsibility for the company's policies; but by accepting them, he in fact acquiesced in the Saudi Arabian government's racism...

In fact, as I emphasized, the investigators in the local study have taken pains to reassure the parents that this conclusion is totally unjustified, and that the developmental effects of the extra Y chromosome remain to be determined. One of the tragic features of Dr. Beckwith's attack is that it opposed the kind of study that will be required to correct the popular misconception about the significance...
