The Week in Review section of The New York Times gave Charles Murray a front-page story? Why? Because he has a new book out? David Duke writes a lot of books; why not give him part of the Week in Review front page? And Murray's article has nothing to do with the week under review; it's just a silly thought exercise taken much too seriously, the sort of thing you might expect to run on the Times op-ed page during an extraordinarily slow period for news. Why is Murray still welcome in decent company?
