...Michael Dawdy, a trainer at the Baylor Tom Landry Fitness Center in Dallas. "If you get tired of swimming, get on the cycle." Change sports with the seasons--and make time to enjoy life. "When I turned 50, I made a list of 50 things that I wanted to accomplish," says Franzen, the former triathlete. "There were some sports things, like rowing and trying to snowboard. But there were other things, like learning to play drums and travel. I exercise much less than I used to, and I'm still in great health, so I have no complaints." That...

The chaos is astonishingly visceral: you're Joe Grunt, playing your little part in vast events that are beyond your puny...
Sitting around a circular glass table at his trendy Tel Aviv advertising firm, Adler Chomsky & Warshawsky, Adler asked Sharon what he wanted to accomplish as Prime Minister. "I believe that only I can bring peace," Sharon replied. That was enough for Adler to work with. He and a team of Sharon advisers, including p.r. man Eyal Arad and U.S.-based political strategist Arthur Finkelstein, focused the campaign not on the hawkish-sounding theme of security but on peace. They produced a bumper sticker--ONLY SHARON CAN BRING PEACE (it kind of rhymes in Hebrew)--and TV ads with soft music...
