...context of Mr. Klitgaard's "study". Firstly, I seriously question how Klitgaard obtained his information. In no part of the Harvard/Radcliffe admissions application is a student asked his religious affiliation. How then is it possible for Klitgaard to use Jewish students in his report. Secondly, I strongly resent Klitgaard's implication that Third World students are more suited to a less competitive academic environment, and that students perform poorer than their aptitude scores indicate.

Many Brazilian bishops resent the Vatican's investigation of Leonardo Boff, Brazil's leading proponent of "liberation theology," which is built upon Marxist economic theory. When the Vatican asked Progressive Paulo Evaristo Cardinal Arns to discourage a meeting of liberation theologians, he pointedly ignored the request. In turn, the Pope has rejected the suggestions from the Brazilians in his past four appointments of new bishops for their country...
