Intelligence?

I just finished reading Charles Murray's three-part discussion of education in the Wall Street Journal's Opinion section. You can find the columns here:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

Murray wrote a book several years ago called The Bell Curve. Many people were offended by it. I always thought he had some interesting things to say. These columns made me think a little more, as did some of the comments from readers.

I don't know whether I agree with Murray or not, but I do know that the conversation he's trying to start is one that we need to have, in some fashion, if we're ever going to make headway.
