...only 54% of American men and 61% of women could expect to celebrate their 65th birthdays; after they did, the men could expect to live 13 more years, the women 15.

Once past retirement age, the men would live an additional 15 years and the women 20. Some experts think most babies born this year will live for 85 or even 90 years...

...Bless America to White Christmas to There's No Business Like Show Business, prove how readily and deeply he resonated with the spirit of his new nation. His work is gloriously celebrated in SAY IT WITH MUSIC at New York City's ritziest nightclub, Rainbow & Stars, on the 65th story of NBC's building in Rockefeller Center. A cast of seven led by Kaye Ballard performs 47 songs in just 60 minutes, yet gets the flavor of each. A highlight: Manhattan Madness, a 1932 musing on urban glitter and horror that could have been written last week...
