	Actually, Presidents of the United States tend to die about 5 years
before their actuarial peers owing to the stress of the job.  As John
Kennedy said, "When it comes to nuclear policy, I have to be right 100% of
the time."

FDR does not fill the bill, nor any later president.  FDR died fairly
young (in his sixtes, I think), considering that presidents tended to
live considerably longer than the average, discounting unusual events
such as assassinations, and the one who died of a cold he caught on
Inauguation Day.  Hoover, I think, outlived FDR, so probably Hoover would
not yet qualify.  Coolidge, maybe?

I could look it up, but that would be like cheating.
