	Stanley Kurtz on SAT on National Review Online
		Incredibly, the British have invited Gaston Caperton, head of the College Board, for emergency consultations with Downing Street and the Education Department, at the very moment when Caperton himself has betrayed the SAT and, under political pressure, agreed to turn it into something closer to a British achievement test.
		The British are looking to Caperton as their savior, but in the British test meltdown, Caperton may be looking at our own country's unpleasant testing future.
		Is it too much to hope that Gaston Caperton might return from his encounter with the British achievement test meltdown with his spine stiffened and a new determination to rescue the old SAT —; the very test that Britain now wants?
