More Education = Longer Life

The Times' Gina Kolata this morning gives new meaning to the concept of seniority-based schools. Education seems to be the key to a longer life. As the actuarial studies get more sophisticated in this area, it will be interesting to see whether there is any difference between the lifespan of those who attended crappy schools for a long time and those who were non-crap attendees.

I'm hoping to be able to use it to bolster the case for The Chalkboard's Anti-Crap Doctrine.
