...decided that the old way of thinking about senescence needs to be challenged. In laboratories around the world, investigators are beginning to suspect, to their growing surprise and excitement, that what works in flies and worms may work for people too. From species to species, genus to genus, the cellular mechanisms responsible for aging appear to be the same. Armed with that knowledge, a new breed of longevity specialists is beginning to tease out answers to two of the great mysteries of life: Why do we age? And even more important, What can we do about...
...until all at once it stopped. From then on, the cells did something a lot like aging. They consumed less food; their membranes deteriorated; and the culture as a whole languished. Hayflick repeated the experiment, but this time used cells from a 70-year-old, and found that the cellular aging began a lot earlier, after 20 or 30 doublings. Clearly, it seemed, the cells from the older human were older themselves...

We can imagine the poor sod, armed to the teeth with daily planners and cellular phones, trying to be there for everyone. Reich, our nation's Secretary of Labor, wrote of his decision to step down from the Cabinet for the Op-Ed page of the New York Times last Friday...
...mission headed for South Africa in 1993 because he contributed $2,000 to the election campaigns of both Clinton and South African President Nelson Mandela. In another, Philip Verveer, a politically savvy Washington attorney, recommends a place on a 1994 mission to India for William Ginsberg, CEO of Cellular Communications International, based in New York City. "Ginsberg was an early financial supporter of the Clinton/Gore campaign," Verveer writes...
...this year's campaign issues of V-chips, education tax breaks, and cellular phones for neighborhood watch groups can also be seen as the articulation of a different vision of government than that which we have come to expect from the overheated debates in Washington. It is a vision of government that neither solves problems for people nor leaves them alone to fend for themselves. Rather, Bill Clinton's winning vision is one that gives people the means to fix their own problems...
