DEPRIVING THE WORLD OF DIAGNOSIS BY MULTIPLE CHOICE: The NYT reports that groundbreaking test prep guru and dedicated philanthropist Stanley H. Kaplan died yesterday. Apparently, if medical schools had thought more favorably of Jewish graduates of public colleges around the beginning of WWII, I might not have had anyone to help me prepare for the LSAT. I think Kaplan ended up doing okay for himself despite the inaccessibility of med school.

(Inexplicably omitted from the list of Kaplan's philanthropic endeavors is the Stanley H. Kaplan Nursery School, located around the corner from my apartment. Kaplan Nursery School does not require standardized testing for admission.)
