Pat,
I responded directly to the issue in your email about Kerry.
Perhaps, you'll give us the courtesy of a response.

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
PK

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.
