John McCain, in the debate last Friday, mentioned that North Koreans are an average 3 inches shorter than their South Korean counterparts. He was using this as striking evidence for the difference in lifestyle between a free nation (S.Korean) and a nation under tyranny (N.Korea).
Today I read a cool article in the NYT which uses the population height measure to compare Americans to Western Europeans.
Guess who's shorter?
