Another good treatment, briefer and open-access, is Skeptic's
Sternberg interview:
http://www.psych.utoronto.ca/~reingold/courses/intelligence/cache/03.3.fm-sternberg-interview.html

Skeptic went to Professor Sternberg to get his view of the controversial book The Bell Curve (see the interview with its co-author Charles Murray in the previous issue of Skeptic). Having first discovered, then grasped, and for years fondled its trunk, Sternberg feels that the standard psychometric interpretation (on which so much of The Bell Curve (is based) has mistaken the elephant of intelligence for nothing more than a big and powerful snake.

Sternberg also strongly believes that all three aspects of intelligence can not only be measured, but also developed. While he sees this technology as still being in the infant stage, Sternberg believes it (and not just measurement and selection) is the goal on which society should focus.
