"The Time Machine": The Next Generation.
MacPherson, Eric D.
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v41 n3 p304-07 Sep 1995
Social research resembles moral theology: both discover nothing but, rather, rediscover truths of social life and use stories to help people understand them. "The Bell Curve" and Wells'"Time Machine" have similar "story-lines" about intelligence and social stratification. Academics should turn away from "The Bell Curve" because it involves little science and is bad moral theology. (SV)
