		+	"Does lead pollution increase crime? We perform the first meta-analysis of the effect of lead
		+	on crime by pooling 529 estimates from 24 studies. We find evidence of publication bias
		+	across a range of tests. This publication bias means that the effect of lead is overstated in the
		+	literature. We perform over 1 million meta-regression specifications, controlling for this bias,
		+	and conditioning on observable between-study heterogeneity. When we restrict our analysis
		+	to only high-quality studies that address endogeneity the estimated mean effect size is close
		+	to zero. When we use the full sample, the mean effect size is a partial correlation coefficient
		+	of 0.11, over ten times larger than the high-quality sample. We calculate a plausible elasticity
		+	range of 0.22-0.02 for the full sample and 0.03-0.00 for the high-quality sample. Back-ofenvelope calculations suggest that the fall in lead over recent decades is responsible for
		+	between 36%-0% of the fall in homicide in the US. Our results suggest lead does not explain
		+	the majority of the large fall in crime observed in some countries, and additional explanations
		+	are needed. "

	Clever Central Limit Theorem proof: If you have a sequence Xn of random variables, start with a Normal sequence Zn with Xn's means and variances. The Theorem for Zn is trivial. The Lindeberg trick is to swap Xn for Zn one term at a time.

   I have had personal experience with individuals, corporations, and government. All three are, of course, sometimes unsatisfactory. But my experience with large corporations is way better than my experience with either individuals or government — better from the standpoint of my ending up feeling satisfied, or being made better off by interacting with them.}}
