Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated November 9, 1962 partially reads, "Public breast beating over the allegedly poor quality of American education has convinced the rest of the world Americans are dumbbells. Nathan J. Hoffman, 28...returned recently from Israel with that opinion, together with an Israeli bride, and a master's degree from Technion University in Haifa. 'They have the impression the average American has no knowledge of geography or history. It came up time and again during discussions. Our educational system is tremendously underestimated,' says Hoffman."
