COnsider the following:

Age<-c(48, 57, 56, 76, 76, 66, 70, 14,  7,  3, 62, 62, 30, 10,  7, 53, 44,
29, 46, 47, 15, 13, 84, 77, 26)

SerialNo<-c(001147, 005979, 005979, 006128, 006128, 007004, 007004, 007004,
007004, 007004, 007438, 007438,009402,009402, 009402, 012693, 012693,
012693, 014063,014063, 014063, 014063, 014811, 014811,016570)

TestSet<-cbind(Age,SerialNo)

TestSet<-data.frame(TestSet)

I am looking to create a third column titled "IsHead".  This column would be
either TRUE or FALSE depending on whether the Age variable was the greatest
for that set of SerialNo's.  So for the above i would return:  

Age	SerialNo  IsHead
48	1147          TRUE
57	5979          TRUE
56	5979          FALSE
76	6128          TRUE
76	6128           FALSE
66	7004          FALSE
70	7004          TRUE
14	7004          FALSE 
7	7004          FALSE
3	7004          FALSE

I am thinking this is simple but cannot get my own code to work.  Thanks for
any insights.
