Is there a way out of these difficulties?How equal do we want to be? How equal can we be?What do we mean when we say, “Let the best man win”? Can an equalitarian society tolerate winners?Are we overproducing highly educated people? How much talent can the society absorb? Does society owe a living to talent? Does talent invariably have a chance to exhibit itself in our society?Does every young American have a “right” to a college education?Are we headed toward domination by an intellectual elite?Is it possible for a people to achieve excellence if they don’t believe in anything?
