Prophets without Honor

Gallup pollsters asked a moderately crosspatch-section of American wives: "What are the chief faults husbands have?"

"Drinking with the boys" topped the list of blights on marital bliss. "Other women" ran a weak fifth, behind such minor vices as failure to bring home a box of candy, or a tendency to domineer. "Ashes on the rug" was a surprising last.

Some typical wifely answers: "My husband sits in a chair all the time and hollers at me. . . . My husband complains about the cooking; he even swears about it. ... My husband thinks he knows all about women. . . . My husband wants to be boss."

Of every 100 homemakers questioned, only four sterling little women stood fast and declared their spouses to be faultless.
