Americans Best Brits on Lifespan, But Suffer More Illness

Americans Best Brits on Lifespan, But Suffer More Illness

(Nov. 4) -- Americans can expect to outlive their British peers, but not without suffering chronic ailments to a greater extent than those living across the Atlantic. A collaborative effort between U.S.-based Rand Corp and Britain's Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has reached that conclusion, after evaluating data on Americans and Brits aged 50 and older. "If you get sick at older ages, you will die sooner in England than in the United States," James Smith, who co-authored the study, told Reuters.

Sex vs. the Internet: 12 Percent of Women Would Rather Stay Online

Obama's Lead: Growing, Growing. . .

Obama's Lead: Growing, Growing. . .

This race is a long way from over, but even arch-conservative Charles Krauthammer seems to see the writing on the wall:You can't blame McCain. In an election in which all the fudamentals are working for the opposition, he feels he has to keep throwing long in order to keep hope alive. Nonetheless, his frenetic improvisation has perversely (for him) framed the rookie challenger favorably as calm, stead and cool......he's [Obama has] got both a first-class intellect and a first-class temperament.
