	TAP: Vol 13, Iss. 8. War on the SAT. Peter Schrag. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Atkinson, cognitive psychologist, former director of the National Science Foundation, and former chancellor at UC's San Diego campus, is well aware of the obstacles to fundamental reform.
		Atkinson contends that unlike the SAT IIs (once called achievement tests, which are exams in the major subjects that students take in high school -- math, history, composition, the sciences, foreign languages), the SAT I, originally called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, retains the genetic code of its discredited predecessors in intelligence testing.
		Atkinson says that UC's policy of admitting the top 4 percent of the seniors from each high school, the first of his admissions reforms to go into effect, has been a resounding success.

	St Richard of Chichester - Canon Atkinson's article in the Chichester Magazine
		For two years Richard lived the life of a friar, travelling Sussex on foot, winning the hearts of those of his people who were as poor as himself.
		The famous prayer which carries Richard’s name does not all date from his time; but the opening words were his prayer as he lay dying: “Thanks be to thee, my Lord Jesus Christ, for all the benefits which thou hast won for me, for all the pains and insults which thou hast borne for me”.
		For Richard is not about Richard at all; Richard is about Jesus; and the people of Sussex claimed him as their Saint, not because they had seen Richard, but that in Richard they had seen Jesus, his Redeemer, his Friend and his Brother.

		Rowan Atkinson proves how good a Doctor he could've been by playing the character straight, and not primarily for laughs.
		The best part of the sketch is the quick-change regenerations near the end where Richard E. Grant, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, and Joanna Lumley all play the Doctor in less than five minutes.
		Richard Grant is hilarious as the sex-fiend Doctor who has a good laugh over the Master's Dalek "bumps".

	Call to End SAT Exam Sets Off UC Debate / Some fear bold step may lower standards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A call by University of California President Richard Atkinson to drop the basic SAT aptitude exam in admissions has been widely heralded as a bold step in the right direction, but it also has ignited a fierce debate.
		But Atkinson said he hopes the proposal, which still needs faculty review and the regents' approval, will help to improve teaching in elementary and high schools in the long run.
		Atkinson said the move would ensure that admission tests measure what students learn in school, not just their innate intelligence or their test-taking abilities.

		To Richard Atkinson, cognitive psychologist, testing expert and, since 1995, president of the University of California, the SAT has always been a mystery.
		But Atkinson, 71, is worried about the growing number of parents pouring thousands of dollars into SAT-prep programs (last year an estimated 150,000 students paid more than $100 million for coaching) and even shopping around for psychologists to certify that their kids are disabled so that they get extra test-taking time.
		Last week Atkinson said he would recommend that the University of California, one of the largest public systems in the country, no longer use the SAT in its admissions process.
