...Four. The fedayeen attack on Elath had several objectives. Not the least of the targets was Hussein himself; it was a demonstration to him and the rest of the Arab world that the fedayeen can call their shots whenever they please.

Moreover, its insight into the relative intelligence of black and white is inconclusive and limited, as Jensen himself admits. Jensen also allows for the elevating effect of a rich cultural environment. But except in cases of severe deprivation, he denies any substantial depressing effect in a culturally poor one. The implication, to him, is that most Negroes-and, for that matter, many low-income whites-are not sufficiently deprived to claim environment as a major factor...
