Miscellany

About 40 percent of employers peer at the social-media profiles of prospective candidates, and 40 percent of party guests admit to snooping through a host’s medicine cabinet or drawers. The percent of women who admit to having looked through a partner’s phone without permission is 34 percent; of men, 62.

Nothing is hidden from the eyes of the observing world.

—Aleksandr Pushkin, 1837
