Hi all,
It has been enormously frustrating having to sit this one out. I have spent a
large fraction of
the last five years thinking and writing about issues raised by the Bell Curve. I
have a
paper coming out in Psychological Review which addresses what I feel to be the main
issue
raised by The Bell Curve (To what extent is the genetic portion of IQ individual and
social
destiny?). My own view of the Bell Curve falls somewhere between Chris and Bryan's.
Unfortunately, in my other life as a macro-labor economist I've been invited to
give a series
of presentations at the European Central Bank this week and next. I'm still not
fully prepared
and don't expect to be until moments before I get on the plane (if then). If people
are still
interested I promise to weigh in on this and other issues when I get back a week from
Wednesday. -- Bill
