It is popularly believed that when a person hesitates before giving an answer it is more likely to be untruthful than if the person answers quickly. Psychologists have found the opposite to be true; that when people lie about something they give their answer more quickly and with more assurance than when they tell the truth. This is to cover up the lie and to make it appear more truthful. So don't suspect your friend o! falsehoods just because he hesitates before answering you. iU4|*r Syndicate--WNU Oirvtca.)
