In 1890, nearly everyone died on the job, and if they lived long enough not to die on the job, the average age of retirement was 85.
From Robert Fogel
In most, if not quite all, parts of the world, the size, shape and longevity of the human body have changed more substantially, and much more rapidly, during the past three centuries than over many previous millennia.
The older I get, the more important my view of the family is.
I think the most important thing I have done in my life is to raise two boys.
I was born in New York City in 1926, four years after my parents and my brother migrated to the United States from the city of Odessa in Russia.
Although they arrived in New York penniless, my parents scraped together enough savings to establish the first of several small businesses just after I was born.
