I cam across an interesting figure the other day.  It was unfortunately
not fully documented, so if anybody knows the exact source, I would very
much appreciate more details.

The figure was in this month's Harper's Index, and was the following:
Percentage of college men who say they might commit rape if there were
no chance of being caught: 35

If this is not a sham, and the studies done were serious, this is a pretty
scary figure.  It is a good disclaimer to the idea that has been expressed
here quite often that rape is an act committed by a few crazy men, and not
representative of men's attitudes towards women in general.
