Though Mansfield was proven wrong, there are several more reasonable explanations for why grades have increased. Former Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Henry A. Rosovsky, among others, has postulated that the Vietnam War draft boards of the late 1960s had a significant influence.

Waxman obtained a copy of an earlier draft of the plan, dated March 30 and written by an interagency group. That version, sent to Cheney, included no reference to India's energy output, Waxman said. But when Cheney made his final energy plan public in May six weeks later, the proposals included a new section calling for increased...
