-- "We like to believe, in our least cynical moments, that the U.S. is a
meritocracy. Success is about talent and hard work. Luck has nothing to
do with it. This attitude may well contribute to a lack of sympathy,
sometimes even bordering on disdain, for life's losers. I believe that
this attitude is profoundly false."
