For Whom "The Bell Curve" Toils.
Livingstone, David W.
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v41 n3 p335-41 Sep 1995
Commentary on "The Bell Curve." Points out that Herrnstein and Murray do not acknowledge their politically conservative funding sources. Discusses bias and inadequacies of IQ tests, lack of evidence of intergenerational reproduction of occupational classes, current underemployment of highly educated people, and the authors' recommendation to transfer educational resources to gifted students via a voucher system.
