...temperaments lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality traits of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.

But as jobs grow scarce and money runs out, some Nikkei ironically now face the same tough decision their Japanese relatives did 100 years ago, when they...

Critics of Amtrak, the government-owned corporation that currently administers America’s aging and inefficient passenger rail system, have correctly pointed out that the current system is not only unprofitable, but also horrendously mismanaged. Moreover, ticket prices remain prohibitively expensive on the only real high-speed network in the country, the Acela Express that runs between Washington and Boston...
