In Philadelphia not long ago, a teen-ager was bludgeoned to death by a gang wielding a baseball bat. What was striking about the local news coverage was how little space was devoted to the horrible act and how much to a kind of interpretive free-for-all: the casting of blame on the 911 system, leading to the Mayor's firing of several dispatchers, all of them black; black leaders' outrage at this "scapegoating"; the Mayor's outrage that race had been injected into the whole thing. In fact, the arc of this story was not unusual. A typical front page of a 1990's newspaper consists of articles about people's assorted resentments, disappointments, predictions, anger, optimism or pessimism concerning one thing or another, as well as one or two accounts of murders, invasions and other events.

To the Editor: Re "Hyping Numbers at Colleges" (Education Life, Jan. 8), in which the U.S. News best college rankings is mentioned: You say that "guidebooks and magazines will not divulge how much weight they give to admission rates." If you had read our methodology, which we detail in our college guide, you would have found out what our weights are. The acceptance rate counts for a small fraction of a school's overall ranking.
