\f52 WHO SHALL LIVE? Love cannot ll the thickened lung with breath, Nor clear the blood, nor set the fractured bone; Yet many a man is making friends with death Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.13 A Tale of Two States In the western United States there are two contiguous states that enjoy about the same levels of income and medical care and are alike in many other respects, but their levels of health differ enormously. The inhabitants of Utah are among the healthiest individuals in the United States, while the residents of Nevada are -at the opposite end of the spectrum. Compar- ing death rates of white residents in the two states, for example, we nd that infant mortality is about 40 percent higher in Nevada. And lest the reader think that the higher rate in Nevada is attributable to the \"sinful" atmosphere of Reno and Las Vegas, we should note that infant mortality in the rest of the state is almost exactly the same as it is in these two cit ies. Rather, as was argued earlier in this chapter, infant death rates de pend critically upon the physical and emotional condition of the mother. The excess mortality in Nevada drops appreciably for children because, as shall be argued below, differences in lifestyle account for differences in death rates, and these do not fully emerge until the adult years. As the following gures indicate, the differential for adult men and women is in the range of 40 to 50 percent until old age, at which point the differential naturally decreases.
