1.	Study: College Lifts IQs of Blacks; Gains Are Greater Than For Whites St. Louis Post-Dispatch, September 30, 1997, News; Pg. 01A Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Pulitzer Inc. Keyword(s): Affirmative Action; Cognitive Development; College Education; Education; Genetics; I.Q.; Intelligence; Intelligence Tests; Racial Differences; Schooling Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This article reports on a new study on the educational gains of African Americans. Using NLSY data, the study finds that African-Americans who graduate from college make much greater gains in intelligence during their college careers than white students. This cuts against the findings of "The Bell Curve," a study which utilized the same NLSY data, but contended that blacks were genetically less intelligent than whites and that this gap could not be closed by education.

6.	Families Could Bite the Dust, Study Warns St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Thursday, September 29, 1994, Five Star Edition, Style West; Pg. 7 Cohort(s): NLS General Publisher: Pulitzer Inc. Keyword(s): Family Structure; Gender Differences; Women's Roles Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Wouldn't it be something if the American family were finally to be done in NOT by drugs, fluoridated water, welfare dependency, Hillary Clinton or gangsta rap, but by the continued reluctance of regular guys -- upstanding middle-class Republicans, many of them -- to do their fair share of the housework? Linda Waite thinks it's already happening. And she isn't just making it up to scare her husband into emptying the dishwasher; she has proof. Waite, a professor of sociology at the University of Chicago, and Frances Goldscheider, a sociology professor at Brown University, have been analyzing data from the vast National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experience, begun by the U.S. Department of Labor in the late 1960s. The surveys followed 5,000 young men and women and 5,000 older ones for a 15-year period to find out how we live now.
