Do you remember Eugene Garfield? He was the go to person in the field of citation analysis. The jargon attached to his figuring out how to identify who cited what journal article snagged old school jargon like bibliometrics. Dr. Garfield founded the Institute for Scientific Information.

300 Million Talons... — 300 Million Talons…

What Is the Minimum Investment Needed to Achieve Social Mobility?

For those without an inside track, high social/cultural skills are an essential foundation.

Long-time correspondent Bart D. (Australia) posed a profound question: what is the minimum investment (in time, money and effort) needed to ensure one's children have social mobility, i.e. a cultural/social passport to upper-middle class opportunities?
