...shove Jensen's position into the forefront sooner or later. It is just as well, therefore, that Jensen's article has put the debate in the open, so that social scientists can meet its arguments head-on. Dealing with such a document as a piece of scholarship may sound disgustingly cool-headed, but the approach has the advantage of outlining the real educational alternatives which blacks face in their movement for equality and independence...
Danny Troob's and John Forster's music is a splendid way to cover the script's sins. A good number of the songs sound the same, but it's a good sound and the repetitions are easy to forgive.

That evaluation--whether in a law firm, government, or teaching--takes place over time and is based on cumulative efforts...
