Dear Reader:
Notes from this week's issue:
In "Bill Bradley's SAT Scores," Geoff Kabaservice reveals Bradley's relatively low test score--and explores its meaning: "Bill Bradley, the thinking presidential candidate, scored a 485 verbal on his SATs. That's lower than George W. Bush, the allegedly slow-witted presidential candidate. As reported recently in 'The New Yorker,' Bush got an SAT verbal score of 566. So what conclusions should we draw? The important conclusions aren't about whether Bradley is really smart or Bush is really dumb. They're about ways in which these two are actually similar. Above all, both of them are beneficiaries of affirmative action." http://slate.msn.com/redirect/announce.asp?gotoT=/Features/bradley/bradley.asp
