[lbo-talk] life expectancy in NYC

[Doug Henwood]

I meant to point out that my radio archive now includes the interview  
with Clive Thompson, author of the NY Mag piece on how and why New  
Yorkers are living longer than other Americans. I asked Clive what  
the contribution of immigration was to the lengthening of life  
expectancy over the last 20 years in the city, and he said he had  
asked his sources about it. They said it was part of the story, but a  
relatively minor one.
