I’ve got a book review of that Daniel Golden book, coming soon on NRO…

My thoughts, in short: The book has some really quality reporting, and Golden has done a great service in exposing some of what goes on in inside the mysterious world of college admissions offices.

However, some of the book is spoiled by Golden’s ideological tone: He overstates his case that American social mobility is drying up, and he indulges in some class-warfare cliches against “the rich.”

For the details, you’ll have to stay tuned…
