Is there some relationship between memorization skills and being a Harvard graduate (or attaining any other educational level)? When I was in high school, one of the students had memorized the entire telephone directory of the small town where I lived -- about half the size of Independence -- and could memorize almost anything else with ease. But he was a very poor student and barely capable, if at all, at making his way in life. I'm not sure he even graduated from high school, and if he did it would have been the result of a social promotion.
