| Sometimes I worry that we're getting a ltitle too popular over here at untrendy U.S. News. We've gotten quite a bit of attention over the past several months on our ranking of America's Best Colleges. Maybe you've seen some of the stories. The heads of a few liberal arts colleges have tried to organize a boycott of the rankings and receivde a lot of press coverage. They've accused us of all manner of sins, icnluding oversimplifying complex institutions and, in one memorable quote, of exuding "real evil." |
