...gross medical resources alone guaranteed physical wellbeing, Americans would be the healthiest people in the world. The U.S. has more than 7,000 hospitals, many of them with the most advanced and elaborate equipment available anywhere. The nation's 330,000 doctors, one for every 650 people, are the products of the most rigorous training. In sheer dollar terms, health has become the second largest industry in the U.S., last year turning over $67.2 billion, or 6.9% of the G.N.P...
...found that engagement with life, rather than disengagement, contributed most to their psychological wellbeing. But not when that engagement included acquisitiveness, aggressiveness or a drive to achievement, super-competence and control. To cling to these stereotypical traits of the successful American seems to invite trouble, even geriatric psychiatry. The healthiest and happiest of the aged people in the survey were interested in conserving and enjoying rather than acquiring and exploiting, in concern for others rather than control of others, in "just being" rather than doing.

...doing. Splashy, audaciously conceived resorts are sprouting all along the French Alpine timberline and drawing thousands of snow worshipers away from the established ski enclaves of Switzerland and Austria. Despite fitful weather and the worst avalanche season since 1917, French winter tourism is currently schussing along at its healthiest pace ever...
...other characters are well adjusted. Hank has made a very serious commitment in leaving his wife for Larry. And Harold [the freaky birthday boy] is very well adjusted to his homosexuality: he knows his neuroses and lives with them. I'm not saying that Harold's way is the healthiest way of life, but at least he's not in the dark about himself. Michael is a conflicted character. He doesn't know what he wants, and still hangs on to vestiges of his childhood-like the church and its teaching that homosexuality...
