That's a Union City Transit bus, not an ACTransit bus (which serves Berkeley. Union City is over 20 miles south of Berkeley, and is closer to Silicon Valley than to Berkeley.
My husband is the talker. He havers, while I want to chill out, watch some TV or play some video games. He, however, drinks beer, while I don't.
The trouble with these studies and articles is the generalizations that result. The original study probably had those results in a majority of the couples studied, who may have volunteered to participate based on an ad that was pointed toward women whose husbands don't communicate well. And how large was the majority?

It sounds like the owners waffled and did not make clear to Ms. Fearnall exactly what the consequences would be. Their mistake. Now, public opinion has come slamming down on them and they're hurting for it. They made a decision. Apparently, legally, they had a right to make it, but it seems to be a poor one, and they're paying the price.
BTW, my mother-in-law has been through three bouts of cancer. Before chemo, she bought two wigs and some turbans. She never wore the wigs. When you don't have hair, wigs are very uncomfortable and difficult to wear. She wore turbans until her hair came in about an inch, then just let it show.
