When I picked up the Express-News from off the lawn this morning, I see they are touting the headline: “Government Stats Indicate Hispanics Live Longer”. I looked up the article on the computer:

The report supports the idea of the so-called Hispanic paradox — that Hispanics have lower death rates despite an overabundance of social and health disadvantages.
