Here's the first couple of paragraphs... A recent New York Times article titled “The Hippies Have Won� observed tha...

I'll leave the algorhythm to my colleagues, here. I want to address a few other things you've mentioned in your post.

Bell Curves does a good job with this too

that said: the real GMAC CAT diag is the best to work with.
