...summer Mount Holyoke announced that for a five-year trial period, it would give applicants the option of withholding their test scores, allowing the college to test the effectiveness of the SAT as a predictor of college success. This fall applications rose 10 percent, with 1 in 6 scores withheld. Now it's crunch time for the school's admissions officers, who have holed up in an unassuming white clapboard house on campus to carry out the new policy.

But the next Christmas "Santa" gave my sister a toy that I remembered seeing before in our house. Either Santa was having an economically trying year and had helped himself to some of our older toys, or my parents had misled me all along. Learning the truth was a disappointment, but even more disturbing was the belittlement and the manipulation that previous "evidences" implied. The world had connived to pull one over on me, and that...
