...main-street appeal and hosting savvy to succeed Barker? I'm not sure, though there's a larger applicant pool available now that Today/Millionaire host Meredith Vieira has proved the news/game-show-crossover potential. By June, at the rate things are going, Katie Couric just might be looking for her next opportunity at CBS. I'll bet she's great with pets...

But even abuse is likely to be far less than the kind in Eliot’s day. For one thing, we have better students; meritocracy has ensured this. For another, we have mitigating factors, like the concentration system which developed after Eliot...
