• Generally, to the 2 1/2-year-old apple of her parents' eye, who bravely negotiates her ABC's, the recitation must seem, if anything other than pure nonsense, more like a physical task -- like rafting a river or running a steeplechase -- than cerebration --Daniel Menaker, "Lletters for Yyoungsters," New York Times, November 9, 1986
• Celebration of cerebration is not what the public wants. Indeed, the opposite is probably true. We are suspicious of excessive smartness. --David R. Slavitt, "You Can Go Holmes Again," New York Times, October 17, 1993
