David Brooks's Milieu on Iraq

David Frum: There is something to this problem of sorting, not just socially, but literally genetically for the skills that get you through the academic meritocracy stuff. He says there's a real asymmetry between left-wing elitism and high status institutions in U.S. Frum: I think both both sides have enormous problems; they're just not the same problems. And so with our Hollywood, journalism, museums, academia, the left not only is calcified and bubbled up, it's so concentrated in corridors of cultural power.
