Wealthier elders are significantly less likely than poorer ones to suffer pain at the end of their lives, according to a University of Michigan study forthcoming in the August issue of the Journal of Palliative Medicine.

Woody Guthrie
"My eyes has been my camera taking pictures of the world and my songs has been messages that I tried to scatter across the back sides and along the steps of the fire escapes and on the windowsills and throughout the dark halls."
Woody Guthrie Woody Guthrie, born this day in 1912 in Okemah, Oklahoma, was an American singer and composer whose songs told of the common people and their struggles, especially during the Great Depression. Guthrie took to the road at the height of the Dust Bowl, frequenting hobo and migrant camps on his way to California, where he first popularized his politically charged songs. Responsible for such classics as “This Land Is Your Land,” he became a mythic figure and catalyst for later revivals of folk music.
