Boston Irishmen, he notes, have a far higher coronary death rate than their brothers left behind in the more closely knit culture of the old sod. Nevada, a freewheeling singles-oriented state, has a higher rate of death from heart disease than neighboring Utah, with its Mormon tradition of close family ties.
