In 1938 Harvard began a study of 724 men. Four Directors have overseen the study.

One of these 724 became President.

They have followed them for the last 82 years.

They now know what keeps us alive longer.

that was very good - I did wonder which president was in the survey - I thought Bush Sr, but he was Yale IIRC
