...can’t blame them, really. They grew up when youthful idealism and tie-dye still existed outside of summer camp and church retreats. In the late sixties, Harvard students’ perpetual hunger for revolution made them scorn administrators on instinct; now we’re so perpetually hungry that we scorn hunger strikes on principle. Our University president showers us with kindness, theirs—Nathan M. Pusey ’28—opted for tear...
...fact, as he takes the podium in his spotless white tunic and trousers, a vertical line of red dye on his forehead, Swamiji is the picture of unbowed vigor, with a voice that crescendos to full boom when he's making a particularly insistent point. "You are the architect of your fortune. You are the architect of your misfortune," he thunders. His topic, "Managing Stress Through Self-Management," seems perfectly pitched to this crowd of overtaxed self-starters.

But dyeing your hair is right up there with dressing like a teenager when you are 40. For those...
Like most of the women in my family, I grayed very young - the white hairs at my temples appeared in my early 20s. Horrified, I rushed for the dye bottle and dutifully touched up my roots for the next 20 years. Three years ago, at the age of 40, I simply got tired of it and stopped. I hadn't seen my real color for two decades and wondered what I was in for. I was delighted to see an interesting salt-and-pepper mix with a few pure white streaks around my face, which I call nature's highlights...
