An article in Newsweek last year said that a "boy born in Harlem today
has a lower life expectancy than a boy born in Bangladesh."  I think
the expectancy is in the 40's.  I suspect that such boys have worse
chances to live than average American women, but I wonder . . . what's
the expectancy of a black girl born today in Harlem?  is anyone doing
research like this with sex included as well as geography?
