Every month Harper’s Magazine devotes a page to “Harper’s Index,” a rather random listing of statistics from documented sources. I always turn to that page first, and I’ll just give you a small sample from the latest issue.
Number of on-air minutes during last fall’s campaign season that CNN devoted to climate change: 23
To Joe Biden’s smile: 43
Amount Florida spent per student on testing in 1996: $4.44
Last year: $30.59
Percentage change since 1980 in California’s spending on public universities: -13
On prisons: +436
One more.
Number of U..S. states that have fewer abortion providers today tjhan in 1978: 48
