...incensed," he says of scandals rocking the stock market. "Every time I look, I'm getting poorer." But he's not letting that slow him down. "My theory is, you die if you don't keep moving," he says. "The people I hang out with are in their 20s and 30s. I want to be around people who want to paint a picture, be in a play, become a lawyer--not people who are planning their funerals...
John Connor's 33-year marriage took him away from the dating scene for a long time. But after his wife Diane died in 1997, the software-company executive and father of three grown children found himself alone and lonely for the first time since his 20s. As he worked at his computer one day in 1999, an ad popped up on the screen for a free trial membership on Match.com--one of the nation's largest matchmaking websites.

This much is true: Sacagawea died of some mysterious illness when she was only in her 20s. Most illnesses were mysterious in the 19th century, but I suspect that Sacagawea's indigenous immune system was defenseless against an immigrant virus. Perhaps Lewis and Clark infected Sacagawea.
