...United States had been the first to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles and missile launching submarines, thereby forcing the Soviet Union to respond, is simply not true. The Soviets first tested an ICBM in 1957, well before the first U.S. test firing in November 1958.

In subsequent research, the right hemisphere, far from being inferior to the left, as was once thought, proved clearly superior in some respects, including the capacity for intuitive thinking, interpreting auditory impressions and comprehending spatial relationships.

...students whose parents have roughly half the income of white parents. Even worse, black colleges have come under harsh attack from a few influential black educators on grounds that they reinforce racism.
