...Darlington's colleagues will certainly quarrel with his view of history, as he himself cheerfully admits. "I represent an extreme minority view," he says. "I'm trying to overcome the idea that heredity doesn't matter, that all behavior is social, that it's the result of education-the whole general humbug." Like controversial Psychologist Arthur Jensen (TIME, April 11), he is astonished at the willingness of educators to assume that all their students arrive in class with approximately equal intellectual endowments.

Galbraith was a tutor at Harvard when Jack Kennedy was a blithe undergraduate. Perhaps partly as a result, he did not hesitate to go to the top with his complaints.
