I'm trying to find out if William Saletan is realted to the folk singer Tony Saletan, who was somewhat prominent in the 1960s and early 1970s and has been a public figure since at least the 1950s. Wikipedia has no entry for Tony; if I find out enough I may create one. In the mean time, if anyone's monitoring this page and happens to know, I think that if William is the son of an old-time publicly political person, it would be worth noting on William's page.--Dvd Avins 00:12, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Correspondance from Tony Saletan indicates they are related. I'll put it on the page Dvd Avins (talk) 23:45, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Who the hell is Tony Saletan? Doesn't look notable enough to mention here. CAVincent 03:28, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] race/intelligence

I'm not sure that Saletan's recent foray into the race/intelligence debate is notable enough to mention here, although I expect it will permenantly taint some readers' view of him. Still, if we keep it the series should probably be referenced. This is the link - http://www.slate.com/id/2178122/entry/2178123/ - and maybe someone with more intelligence than me will know how to properly cite it wiki-style. Incidently, here is Stephen Metcalf's refutation of the series, also from Slate.com - http://www.slate.com/id/2179073/ CAVincent 03:19, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
