The American Spectator

I added emphasis to Mr. Law’s words, because has overlooked the fact that Dr. Summers was not saying something that he “believed” to be the truth, but rather was saying something for which there is a preponderance of empirical evidence. Others have written extensively of the fact that have been collected on this subject, which show that women “cluster in the middle of the scale,” where mathematics and hard sciences are concerned, whilst there are many more men than women at the high end, or “genius” category, as well, by the bye, as at the low end, or “innumerate scientific dunce” category.

p>I am sorry that Dr. Summers lacked the intellectual honesty, and personal courage to not only refuse to apologize for bringing up a topic that might be “unpopular,” but, as it appears to have a basis in fact, is worth discussing, but to cite the evidence, and challenge his emotion-driven critics to refute it. br> — W.

With a simple Ctrl++ the font increases, and Ctrl+- makes it smaller. Or, hold down the Ctrl key and roll your mouse wheel up and down. Unlike Internet Explorer, you are not limited to one increase step, and so far I haven’t found a website it doesn’t work on. br> — Bob Johnson br> Bedford, Texas /p>
