I read Freakonomics, (a NY times bestseller), and the author made a hypothesis: he correlated that legalizing abortion helped to reduce crime rates. (by the way, he is republican, and is not for abortion. he simply stated that he thinks there is a correlation, not that its justified.)

My question is: is there any credence that lowering rates of unwed teenage mothers can reduce future crime rates?

Im looking for answers strictly related to the question or correlation. I am not looking for your stance on the issue of abortion. is there or isnt there any relation between the two? please state your reasons.

recently I found an infestation of bugs inside my buckwheat pillow. Needless to say I was grossed out by my find. The bugs I found were basically like the ones people find in your pantry/pasta/rice.

So now I need to know if there is a way to get rid of these pests without throwing my pillow away or without ruining it, as it was an expensive purchase.

I have been searching online for an answer, but mostly I get FAQs from pillow retailers; and those arent helpful as they all seem to state that these pillows are immune from bug infestations.

I do live in a humid climate, so I suppose that might be a factor. In anycase, I was hoping somebody that experienced this situation themselves might be able to help. Thanks!
