William Hutton, executive director of the National Council of Senior Citizens, criticized the report for not mentioning the "millions of older people now hovering just above the poverty level." Said Cyril Brickfield, executive director of the 18 million-member American Association of Retired Persons: "If it was misleading in the 1960s to infer that all older persons were living in poverty, it is equally misleading today to imply they are generally affluent and living well...

Cyril Burt's often-quoted identical twin studies, conducted in the 1950s, supposedly proved the inhabitability of IQ. Those who would later argue for a meritocracy based on IQ--such as Arthur Jensen, in his famous and influential article on the subject in the Harvard Educational Review published in 1969--drew upon Burt's data. But Lewontin and his cohorts point out the fraudulence of Burt's evidence. Not only are there serious problems with the validity of these separated...
