    Best one was http://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/08/22/weekinreview/0822-marriage.html. it was very clearly defined and you could see the progression

    Worst: http://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/08/22/weekinreview/0822-marriage.html it was very cluttered and I was unable to understand it
