...your story about Arthur Jensen's conclusion that blacks score lower on IQ tests than whites [Sept. 24], you say "Jensen's findings clearly have horrendous implications." This is not at all true.

Behind closed doors in Washington's Mayflower Hotel, the eminent Dr. Norman Vincent Peale told 150 clergymen formed into the Citizens for Religious Freedom: "Our American culture is at stake. I don't say it won't survive, but it won't be what it was." Finally, Kennedy had to meet those preachers down in Houston, who asked him to drop by to explain his views.
