Industry Reviews
"It is hard to read Sperber's book without having a sinking feeling about the future of American culture. He has managed to document one facet of our national decline in painstaking detail, and the result is an admirable, timely and profoundly disturbing work."
New York Times Book Review - Morris Berman (09/17/2000)

"The case he marshals against these places "schools" scarcely seems the right word is overwhelming, a devastating condemnation of "higher education" in America."
Washington Post Book World - Jonathan Yardley (09/24/2000)
