Yes.
D’you?
David Brooks’ Tuesday New York Times piece led with an amazing array of statistics (and not just because I’m Jewish by attraction):
Jews are a famously accomplished group. They make up 0.2 percent of the world population, but 54 percent of the world chess champions, 27 percent of the Nobel physics laureates and 31 percent of the medicine laureates.
Jews make up 2 percent of the U.S. population, but 21 percent of the Ivy League student bodies, 26 percent of the Kennedy Center honorees, 37 percent of the Academy Award-winning directors, 38 percent of those on a recent Business Week list of leading philanthropists, 51 percent of the Pulitzer Prize winners for nonfiction.
I’ll be compiling the Irish stats right about the time Dick Cheney submits himself to waterboarding.

What’s most impressive about Bobo is his knowledge and amazingly perceptive and amazingly oncise assessments. Take this for example, from Bobo’s abridged history of the Jews:
“Most Jews gave up or were forced to give up farming in the Middle Ages; their descendants have been living off of their wits ever since.”
Seems like I’ve read that before. I can’t place it now, and I doubt it’s plagiarism, but it’s certainly not new or original with Brooks.
