...logic here is simple and very much in the vein of Cronbach's rebuttal to the Jensen paper, i.e., if you want black kids to think like white kids, imprint this type of thinking habit early (5 days to 2 years of age) with simple thinking, concept cluster tasks.

In replacing Blough, who will become a partner in the Manhattan law firm of White & Case, where he worked before joining U.S. Steel in 1942, Gott is naturally careful to give his predecessor proper credit. "We're only trying to complete what Blough started," he says. One of Gott's goals is to lift the company's share of the steel market back up to 30% within the next several years...
