Sisler cried age discrimination. The bank brushed him off at first, saying that even if it had fired him solely because of his age--which it denied--only older people could sue on such grounds.

The world they build is clean, the family normal. But then they wonder, Did Cary kill Uncle Jerry...
DEPRIVED HEARTS If you're 65 or older and have a heart attack, you may not get care fast enough--or at all. Researchers report that about half of elderly heart-attack patients receive neither angioplasty--where blocked arteries are Roto-Rootered open--nor clot-dissolving drugs within six hours of arriving at the hospital. The upshot: they are twice as likely to die within a year compared with those who are treated quickly...
