When Vincent van Gogh was thirty-one years old, in the fall of , he travelled to the bleak moors of northern Holland and stayed at a tavern in the village of Stuifzand. They dug peat, brewed illegal gin, and placed poles across the marshes to navigate by.
Any squatter who could keep his chimney smoking for a full year earned title to the land he cleared. There is little record of what happened to van Gogh in Stuifzand—whether he got lost in the marshes or traded sketches for shots at the bar. When I visited the village, the locals mentioned him merely to illustrate an even greater national obsession: height. At the old tavern, which is now a private home, I was shown the tiny alcove where the painter probably slept.

According to one recent study, the average six-foot worker earns a hundred and sixty-six thousand dollars more, over a thirty-year period, than his five-foot-five-inch counterpart—about eight hundred dollars more per inch per year.
Short men are unlucky in politics only five of forty-three Presidents have been shorter than average and unluckier in love. A survey of some six thousand adolescents in the nineteen-sixties showed that the tallest boys were the first to get dates.
