Shifty Eyes Is taller better?

Conventional wisdom has it that taller men make more money, get more dates and are more likely to win a presidential election. Shorter women aren't taken seriously, and boys and girls both suffer psychologically well into adulthood if they've grown up the shortest in their class. Right?

Well, maybe … or maybe not. What people thought they knew about the height advantage doesn't always hold up to the cold eye of psychological and sociological research.
