After being taken to the woodshed for his dunderheaded

series on genetic IQ differences, Slate's William Saletan

published a semi-retraction. That's all well and good, but

it dodged the real issue, namely, how supercilious

intellectuals, like Saletan, play with explosive ideas

as if they were baby rattles.

If IQ is directly proportional to head size, as he believes,

William Saletan is in trouble.
