...officials begin by attacking our supposed faith in the Scholastic Aptitude Test, arguing that the SAT is a poor indicator of academic prowess and that it discriminates against minorities and the economically disadvantaged. Considering that the authors of the response are quick to point out the 314 National Merit Scholarship winners in the Class of 1994 (the most in the country, they boast)--indicating a certain respect for the SAT--their argument strikes us as a bit hypocritical and contradictory...

Of the 20 finalists in the Westinghouse Science Talent Search, 11 enrolled this year at Harvard and Radcliffe...

...visit the Ryder retrospective, the first in a generation, which has been assembled with meticulous scholarship by Elizabeth Broun at the Brooklyn Museum (through Jan. 8), is to become sharply aware of the limits of the Ryder myth. He is like Poe -- so overwrought, yet so influential. One sees, not for the first or only time, the paradox of American art in its larval days: how its course could be deeply affected, and the enthusiasm of its artists unstintingly engaged, by works whose actual aesthetic merits often seem slight...
