A few Larry Summers related links
| January 31st, 2005-
WISELI has a useful list of links (mostly newspaper articles) about the controversy. Not all the links are persistant, alas, but the Boston Globe and Harvard Crimson links all seem to be good.
-
A good Slate article argues that Summers deserved to be criticized. It also reviews (very briefly) some of the clear evidence that yes, Virginia, discrimination does exist.
-
PZ Myers, who actually has a science background, comments. Plus he wins my heart by reproducing a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon.
-
A good post and discussion at Dispatches From the Culture Wars (which I also linked to in my previous post). I disagree with 75% of what was said here. Both Summer’s critics and his defenders need to keep in mind that we don’t really know what Summers said (there is a tape recording, but Summers has refused to release it).

The “Salon article” mentioned in your post is actually at Slate. Other than that, it is, yes, a good article.
