meaning of "vitals"
What is the meaning of "vitals" in the following sentences?
They were two years old now, Simmons and Ripley, poor children given genderless last names as first names because their mother was an idiot and their father had already sired nine others before them and probably didn't care what they were called. They were boys, Ray knew that much for sure because he'd watched the vitals in the local paper�births, deaths, burglaries, etc.
