It is time for the United States to accomodate the needs of its intellectual elite.

We should acknowledge the existence and importance of high intellectual ability, and think about how best to nurture the children who possess it.

Gender bias is the usual explanation for why few women reach the top levels of academic science, but what if the explanation is more complex than that?

SSgt Gutierrez’s story, like that of other winners of the Medal of Honor and service Crosses, reveals unimaginable gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life. It also gives a peek at the American way of fighting that integrates all elements of military power into a force that can defeat any battlefield challengers. However, it also is a system that may no longer operate as effectively after hundreds of billions of dollars are stripped from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines.

Hardly anyone will admit it, but education's role in causing or solving any problem cannot be evaluated without considering the underlying intellectual ability of the people being educated.

The romantic belief that every child is capable of academic success has been proven incorrect.
