The nation's centenarian population is quickly approaching
70,000, up from some 28,000 in 1990, according to a Census Bureau
report released yesterday. Four-fifths of the members of the
venerable 100+ group are female, and largely concentrated in the
Midwest's "longevity belt" -- Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska,
Kansas and Minnesota. -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 6/17
