Ms. Kraut -

Are you suggesting that our president should be required to follow the
guidance of his/her religion (regardless of what it is) in making decisions
from the White House Oval Office concerning the future of the United States?

Please advise.

  It seems to me that lately so many of the publications that we had respect
for have fallen on their swords. Who and what are we to believe?
  I have also heard that Catholics all have sex with the priest in the
confessional...but I have no evidence of it myself. It curious to me that
every email that responded to this completely ignored the part about Kerry
and the other politicians and their voting records that are opposite of the
tenets of the church. Thats what my email was really about.
  Have a great day

    It's surprising that the Economist got caught reprinting bogus
information from the Internet without fact checking.  The original assertion
been traced back to a posting to rec.org.mensa.   The book cited as
containing the IQ data, IQ and the Wealth of Nations, doesn't. The original
author won't answer inquiries.

    When we're asked for statistical data at the UI Library, one of the
first things we think is "Who would compile it, and where would it be
published?".

    IQ tests were routinely given to military recruits up through WW2, but I
don't know of any agency or institution that uses them anymore. Public
schools don't use them either.  Lacking any obvious source for the data
immediately raises a red flag. In this case, skepticism is warranted.
