Special Interesting things

From a NYT Magazine elegy to his father , by Christopher Buckley - "The term “control freak” is pejorative. Put it this way: Few great men — and I use the term precisely, for Pup [William F. Buckley] was a great man — do not assert total control over their domains. I doubt Winston Churchill ever said, “Whatever.”" Love it.

Let's all get married - "Married people earn more, save more and build more wealth compared with people who are single or cohabiting. (Say what you will about the benefits of cohabitation, it's a categorically less stable arrangement, far more prone to division than marriage.)" And as far it goes, I agree, to an extent.
