An econometric study of "happiness" by professors David Blanchflower
(Dartmouth College) and Andrew Oswald (Warwick University, England), announced
in July, found that a successful marriage brings such a level of joy that
those without it would need an additional $100,000 to compensate. They
conclude: Money can buy happiness (but each unit of it is very expensive);
increasing the frequency of sex from monthly to at least weekly brings the
same happiness as a $50,000 raise; and those who must buy their sex are the
least happy of all. [Wall Street Journal, 6-7-04; Plain Dealer (Cleveland),
