Correlation inequalities are statements about how events in a probability space positively or negatively reinforce each other. After
briefly discussing the better-understood theory of positive  
correlation, I
will talk about some negative correlation inequalities and their
relationship to celebrated conjectures of J. Mason about log-concavity
properties of certain sequences arising from combinatorial objects.  
Along
the way, I'll mention several interesting open problems.
