Some forensic pathologists suggest giving medical examiners civil service status or allying them more closely with medical schools, where independence is a tradition. Many advocate setting up regional forensic centers to provide expert consultants to local communities. Almost all emphasize that higher salaries are needed to lure bright young doctors into the field. Most M.E.s make less than $100,000 a year, while a pathologist who runs a hospital's laboratory services can pull in more than double that amount...
...everyday epiphanies crowd out the sanctified rituals of birth, marriage and death. Eileen and her husband share a meal whose chill is punctuated only by their separate smiles at a radio comedian. Mother falls asleep with memories in her ear: Dad rasping for her to come to him, her young children answering the question "How much do you love me?" with an eager "A pound of sugar!"

...funny. What Hochschild describes, in fact, is so gloomy, at least for two-career couples who are trying to raise children, that the information should be withheld from the young, or the race may not reproduce. It may not anyway, since the two-career marriage means the certain end of weekday sex, and toil-sharing men are known to be subject to Saturday-night headaches...
