...racist propaganda cloaked in scientific jargon. The Harvard Education Review article is less evil and more dangerous than that. It is a calm and eloquent statement of a very old hypothesis on the roles of environment and gene structure in determining all human intelligence. The hypothesis has implications for racial differences in intelligence, which opens it to attack on moral grounds, but arguing against it solely on an ideological basis would leave it unanswered on its own terms...
Though Jensen's work deals with subject matter far broader than the racial issue, his review of the genetic influence on intelligence was apparently triggered by developments in urban education. Recent discoveries have severely jolted scholars of urban school systems. Academics spent the last decade arguing that improving the environment of black children with infusions of money and material would bring them up to educational parity with whites.

I don't see how it could work." Secretary of Housing and Urban Development George Romney got off easily, as did Presidential Assistant Daniel P. Moynihan. "Bob," Evans said, "I think those fat-cat Republicans at the Union League Club would probably blanch...
...inconsistent best, Hair in very funny, and this is where much of its value lies. A Supremes-styled trio, for example, sings a which they concede "Every time they're near me/ I just can't get enough." The number, which makes the most of its racial joke, is preceded by "Black Boys" (in which white girls sing "They are so damned yummy/ They satisfy my tummy")--and the convoluted comic juxtapositions are wild...
