• Dramatic revisions are coming up from the fever swamps of the anthropologists, who are saying: Why not just forget the institution of marriage? After all, 26 percent of Americans live alone, and about half of those who marry, proceed to get divorced. So why not a market solution to the whole business? Let the parties who decide to cohabit for more than a night, or even a month, devise an agreement of sorts having to do with how property should be distributed if they broke up.
