...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. Soviet missile submarines, though markedly inferior to the American Polaris system, appeared earlier. And the Soviet nuclear weapons program, which included organized espionage within the Manhattan project, began no later than 1943, well before Hiroshima.

Sperry's test procedures proved that each cerebral hemisphere in such patients had its own separate world of consciousness, perceptual experience, emotions, thoughts and memory. 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. Said the Nobel Committee of Sperry's achievements: "He has provided us with an insight into the inner world of the brain which hitherto...
...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. In an article in the Nation, for example, Psychologist Kenneth Clark wrote: "Black colleges perpetuate inferior academic standards for black students and award Jim Crow degrees that do not meet the standards of the average traditionally white colleges...
