{"footnote":"\u003Cp\u003E  Checking out \u003Cem class=\u0022emphasisClass\u0022\u003EThe Bell Curve\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026rsquo;s 108 pages of notes can provide hours of innocent pleasure. The book does not exactly quote Malinowski, but takes his words from Senator  Moynihan quoting from a book of reprinted essays. Had the authors gone back to the source, they might have been displeased at the company Malinowski kept. For the quotation comes from a 1930 book  of essays, \u003Cem class=\u0022emphasisClass\u0022\u003EThe New Generation: The Intimate Problems of Parents and Children\u003C\/em\u003E, edited by V.F. Calverton and S.D. Schmalhausen. I think none of Malinowski\u0026rsquo;s fellow  contributors, from Margaret Mead down, agreed with him. Most were moved by the Marxist thought that legitimacy is demanded only by property and inheritance. One of the editors has a very stirring  defence of the illegitimate child \u0026ndash; modern society \u0026lsquo;has never failed to place property above personality or to sacrifice life for a formula\u0026rsquo;. The rich cream on this wonderful pudding is provided by  Bertrand Russell\u0026rsquo;s glorious Introduction, which includes his exultant cry: \u0026lsquo;Enter the new feminism trailing the new matriarchate!\u0026rsquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\n","audio":[],"video":[]}
