...There are the Steeds, wealthy Catholic landowners, tending to be intellectual; the Paxmores, steadfast Quaker shipbuilders: the Caters, solid, intelligent descendants of Cudjo: and the Turlocks, swamp trotters and poachers. Their interlocking fortunes and catastrophes never quite qualify for the terms "gripping" or "absorbing," but they are consistently diverting.

Since the recruitment of talented minority students is one of the vital concerns of the Admissions Committee and Mr. Melnick's article contained so many misimpressions and fabrications, I am compelled to set the record straight on two of the more egregious inaccuracies...
