Strict Limits on Welfare Benefits Discourage Marriage, Studies Say. New research findings show that the stricter work requirements of contemporary welfare policy significantly reduce the chances that a single mother will wed. By Nina Bernstein. [New York Times: NYT HomePage]

So I take it the pro-marriage right will now start lobbying for a change to the welfare system? Not.

If I Get Enough Time

A last interview with Stephen Jay Gould in the New York Times:
I have at least two more big books in me if I get enough time. My first book, ''Ontogeny and Phylogeny,'' was about organisms. My new book is about theory. I need to write one about pattern, which I think will be called ''Life's Direction.'' Then I need to write a fourth one on the early history of paleontology. I've been building up an antiquarian book collection for decades. I own most of the great works of 16th-to-18th-century paleontology. I can read them. So that will be the big retirement project, I think. But I'll need 20 years to do those.
