Bell Curve author
By Mitch Weiss
ASSOCIATED PRESS Writer
TOLEDO, Ohio
The coauthor of a book which
claims blacks are less intelligent
than whites says people take
away from his book what they
bring to it.
Charles Murray said Friday
that makes reading “The Bell
Curve” similar to taking a
Rorschach test, which analyzes
personality by using responses
to a standard series of inkblot

use several skills as they go over
the evidence and test it.”

Our nation’s future depends on its
greatest natural resource, our young people. -
And their key to the future is education.
But many students simply can't afford to
attend college. Government cutbacks in
education support, fewer student loans and
rising costs have combined to limit access to a
college education for many minority students
who need financial assistance.
