Speaking of game shows, this is a report I have hesitated to make. Two weeks ago on "Fifth Grader", they finally did the unthinkable. They had a bright guy speak into the microphone, "I am a graduate of The Wharton School, but I am not smarter than a fifth grader." This guy was actually pretty bright, but he made a huge mistake. He tried to answer a question he didn't know for certain and dropped from $175,000 back to $25,000. It's too bad, because he worked for a charity organization, which means he probably makes less moolah than the average Whartonian, but he's doing good work. Oh, well, at least they nailed Yale before they got to Wharton. <G>
