    Could this be one of those totally misleading statistics we all hear
so much about???

    What if college educated men, who, (let us hypothesize) tend to take 
on more stressful jobs, and as such are more prone to heart ailments,
are also more likely to choose college educated women as mates?  If this is
the case, it is possibly not the choice of college educated women which
leads to heart attacks, but the choice of work environment.  The choice of
mates could be incidental.

    Really now, how can we be expected to draw any rational conclusions 
from this when we are only presented with a fraction of the overall 
picture???  And to think that the Wall Street Journal printed this article!

    Did you know that the average person who sits in front of a crt all
day has a higher IQ than joe schmuck on the street?  That must mean that
video terminals increase IQ!!!!

    I mean, really.......
