Philadelphia Pittsburgh and Cleveland Are the cities in which married people tit Mast Apt to live happily and new York lot Angeles Washington and Albuquerque n.m., Are the cities in which married people Are least Likely to find happiness Albuquerque was judged to be the worst. If Malcolm Forbes cares what this Reader hints he thinks you could t make him live in two of the four cities selected As the Best. On the other hand he thinks two of Forbes least desirable cities Are most desirable. 1 Don t want to make a lot of enemies by saying which two in either Case. I be been to every major City in the country and almost All of the Middle sized ones. You. Make Hast judgments about whether you like a City based on very Little real evidence.
