...fact is, however, that Jensen does prejudge the issue. He has looked at the data on compensatory education, and taken the most pessimistic of positions. "Compensatory education has been tried," his opening line proclaims, "and it has apparently failed." He also intimates that his genetic hypothesis seems the most likely successor to the environmentalist argument.

Although the airlines presented only fragmentary estimates based on remarkably unsophisticated tests (inflight questionnaires asking if Youth Fare had induced the student to fly), the Examiner could find no evidence to suggest that Youth Fare was in fact unreasonable.

And the attempts at profound symbolism on the cover fall as flat as ever. But now it's functional, and that's all that matters...
