1) 1/3 of high school graduates never read another book for the rest of their lives.
2) 42 percent of college graduates never read another book after college.
3) 80 percent of U.S. families did not buy or read a book last year.
Item three is verifiable, but items 1 and 2 are not since "for the rest of their lives" and "never" have not happened yet, unless of course they surveyed the dead.

I would think that reputable statisticians could be a little more precise in their wording.
