  1. Buckle up your safety belt, take good care of yourself, we pay yours bills. (Sung to the tune of Button Up Your Overcoat.)
  2. “Researchers may be poorer teachers to low-ability students and thus better screeners,” the authors write.
  3. I love you.
  4. How men are doing.
  5. How women are doing.
  6. The efficiency gains from marriage are well known. It’s also true that for most couples they grow over time.
