Reviews
In 1985, O'Neill, a California community college professor, tested his students and was shocked to discover how little they knew about U.S. cultural heritage and current events. His article in Newsweek and appearance on 60 Minutes started shock waves of public reaction. This book contains that test, with percentages of incorrect answers, plus 44 other tests, all with answers. Tests cover real and fictional persons and places, functional knowledge, references and allusions in the media, events of the century, geography, familiar quotations, literature, and fine arts. Trivia buffs and those who want to test their fund of knowledge will enjoy this book. Its real importance, however, may well be as an additional message to educators and other concerned persons regarding the woeful condition of cultural literacy in this country.
