I will talk to Walter Bodmer about a full
technical reply to Jensen when Walter gets
back. -Tlowever, some more discussion along

these lines has appeared in the Harv Ed Rev.

On further reflectioh, I do not think
that criticism at this level will have much
useful impact. It would be quite technical
and yuite full of reservations: note JFCts

rather commendatory comments in the Spring
HER. I think the essential confusions have
to do precisely with broad, qualitative
interpretation, and I was sO irked by the
NYT Magazine article that I did write the
enclosed (personal) reply.
_ Perhaps one could go further than I
did here in exploring the vicious ambiguity
of heratibility. If I can get Jensen to

criticize Edson, we may be a step ahead,
