...players either held onto the ball for too long and were forced into weak shots, or they took shots from the top of the outer box when they had semi-breakaways--those shots went right into Alyea's hands...

To give credence to such ideas -- even when doing so with loud sighs of alas! -- is to resume some of the most poisonous battles of the late 1960s and '70s, when the sometimes cranky outer limits of the IQ debate were personified by Arthur Jensen, the Berkeley psychologist who stressed the link between race, genes and IQ, and William Shockley, who proposed paying people with low IQs to be sterilized. Murray says the reaction against them shut off a necessary discussion. "The country...

Information indicates that the outer bow door had jarred loose and may even have ripped off completely. "There are several eyewitnesses who say the bow door was missing when the ferry went down," said Bengt Erik Stenmark, Sweden's maritime safety director. Investigations into the disaster could result in demands for changes to the roughly 4,500 similar ships in operation worldwide. Some specialists advocate installing dividers in the car decks to check the force...
