1/5 V. noble of @charlesmurray to reaffirm his praise of my 1994 FORBES summary of BELL CURVE after being Twitter-mobbed because it's now reposted on (aargh!) VDARE. Here's why, amazingly, the summary didn't mention race....
2/5 "Steve Forbes took the story off the cover and insisted on removing all references to race. Ironically, this did little damage—it really is true that race plays only a minor part in the book. But it presaged Steve's disastrous political career."

3/5 At least I met Murray's great co-author Richard Hernnstein, then mortally ill. Told a colleague said "There's a limit to what you can say in a multicultural society," he replied "That's entirely contrary to everything the Founding Fathers stood for."

4/5 Now it can be told: the colleague was the late Nathan Glazer ("Not surprisingly, in the 1990s, Glazer changed his mind and started supporting affirmative action")
