Discrediting this notion must be done carefully because myths frequently have bases in facts, and intelligence differentiation has long been a subject of research. Most everyone today knows of Arthur R. Jensen, who asserts that Blacks are less intelligent that whites on the basis of IQ scores--a trait he says is largely inherited. And his work is only the latest of many. From early in the 19th century to the present, dozens of scientists have weighed brains, measured skulls, and tested millions, sometimes concluding that the African mind stood about midway between the Caucasian and gorilla in intelligence. Though...
...Handbook, subtitled The Ailurophobe's Delight (Avenel; $2.98) and illustrated by Tomi Ungerer, goes after cats as if they were creatures of the devil (some people think they are). Ailurophobe Author William Cole contends that cats are cruel, treacherous, unloving, smelly and parasitical.

...debunks any suggestions that blacks are genetically inferior. IQ scores for ethnic groups, he says, change over time. They reflect family background and cultural assimilation. As proof he cites a group of Jews tested during World War I. Many of them were first-generation immigrants from Russia and Poland, and they had "some of the lowest scores on mental tests of any of the numerous ethnic groups tested." Now their descendants rank among the highest...
...them apart from parents. They often give achievement and psychological tests as well. After several visits, counselors suggest four or five schools that might be helpful. A small, not-too-competitive school for a middling athlete, for example. And for that bane of parents and teachers alike, the high-IQ underachiever, a school with strong discipline and a challenging academic program. The counselors often telephone a school, describe the student and ask whether he or she sounds desirable enough to justify formal application. "We try to be a strainer," says Parsons, adding: "Year after year, schools have...
