...bordello business currently seems to be booming. According to the Los Angeles Times, "prostitution is one of the biggest industries in rural Nevada." State officials are appropriately heavy-lidded as long as appropriate taxes are paid.

...least one study belies the widely held idea that women with tranquil marriages cope well with separation whereas those with stormy relationships crack up. Psychiatrists at Washington's Walter Reed General Hospital observed the families of 23 Army noncommissioned officers sent abroad for average tours of 13 months. The investigators found that calm, older women, who seemed most deeply attached to their relatives or rooted to military routines, were often the most likely to give in to sadness and discouragement when their husbands left.
