It may seem difficult to believe, but John Stossel reports tonight
that beautiful people have easier lives than unattractive people.
If that is not shocking enough, apparently women prefer to date tall
men. To prove these wild theories, "20/20" sets up a series of tests,
using a very attractive actor and an average-looking actor to apply
for jobs, ask for roadside assistance, etc. to see who has better
results. They may be onto something here.
