...course, experts are loath to accept their fallibility, and, since Burgess published his study in 1928, dozens of studies have set out to prove Burgess wrong, only to find that his insights generally hold true: crude formulas are better than personal interviews for nearly everything, from admitting college students to deciding who should undergo electroshock therapy...
...opener against the Crusaders should prove more of a challenge for the Crimson than in the recent past. The matchup to watch will surely be the pass-first Holy Cross offense, led by junior quarterback Dominic Randolph, who set a school single-game record with 62 throwing attempts in the team’s opener (a 40-30 loss to No. 3 UMass) against one of the best secondaries of the Tim Murphy Era, highlighted by preseason All-American corner Andrew Berry...

Even if Clark could somehow prove that prosperity is hereditary - survival of the richest, he terms it - it doesn't follow that genetics, rather than geography or blind luck, caused Europe to industrialize before the rest of the world. Isn't it just as likely that innovations such as the steam engine, and the exploitation of its colonies, made England wealthy? And Clark's social Darwinism doesn't explain why equally stable and sophisticated societies...
