 IQ & PC -- By Chris Brand
The Government of Thailand (where IQ averages 91) became sufficiently worried about low IQ as to embark on mapping the whole country to see whether IQs of under 80 were importantly linked to areas of iodine deficiency (The Nation, 13 viii).
The Daily Telegraph, too, dared to give IQ a mention, venturing that Cherie Blair, if she were to become an M.P. would “raise the average IQ of the Commons significantly” (12 viii).
And IQ even figured centrally in the plot of a new film, Pretty Persuasion, in which super-high-IQ and pretty teenagerettes plotted revenge on an authoritarian schoolmaster (Film Threat, 5 viii).

At first report of the big news, many “Science for the People” [sic] types, tried to play it cool, like none of it threatened them: Lahn and his research were Good, it was just those awful racists misinterpreting his work.
