...about the I.Q. itself? Dr. Benda says, "Early I.Q. testing and its modifications by Stanford, Wexler, Terman et all are all based on the studies of Binet and Simon at the end of the last century." Stanford? Could this be Stanford University, where Lewis Terman was when he developed the "Stanford-Binet"? Wexler? Could this be David Wechsler, developer of the Wechsler-Bellevue, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, and other modern tests?

The author has been a playwright (Next of Kin) as well as a minor novelist, and his dialogue demonstrates an admirable ability to leave out the unnecessary clutter that so often drowns sofa-stuffed historicals in sobs and expostulations. His descriptive powers, though, do not rise to such simple things as a squirrel hunt...
