...point is not to vindicate President Clinton. He may very well have done some of the despicable things he is charged with doing. I will be the first to suggest that conservatives and feminists alike would condemn him should this prove to be the case. In the meantime, however, anyone paying the slightest attention to the Jones fiasco cannot help but doubt the credibility of the claims, (even of the most fervent feminist). In light of these facts, I am more than willing to give NOW the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps NOW's actions can be explained as more...
...Harvard has always offered its own ordeal, its own version of 'reality,' its own way of giving form to freedom--the contests in the classroom and elsewhere, where children of wealth compete to prove their excellence. Nobody who's 'got it made' has to strive for A's at Harvard, or go out for the varsity, or try for the lead in undergraduate plays, or 'comp' for the Crimson, or do much of anything except get by and get into the Porcellian Club.

The results, published in late 1997 and reported by Angier in detail, established that children did better if Grandma was on the case--and, if not her, then a great-aunt or similar grandma figure. This doesn't prove the grandma hypothesis for all times and all peoples, but it does strongly suggest that in the Stone Age family, Dad-the-hunter was not the only provider. The occasional antelope haunch might be a tasty treat, but as Hawkes and her co-workers conclude about the Hadza...
