GALLAGHER: The transition process will be turbulent. Feldstein had a whole different approach to deflation risk. He thought there should have been a much more aggressive fiscal approach, which would have had the Fed chairman aggressively endorsing tax cuts. He's also a big advocate of Social Security reform...
TIME: We'll get to that. First, a word on the Fed chief, Alan Greenspan, whose term expires under our next President...
They trigger our awe and our nostalgia as representatives of a flinty, hardscrabble culture that hardly exists today. They lived out a parable of man at one with nature. They used their bodies as they were designed and programmed over the millennia: for walking, for working, for being fed from the earth's natural bounty.

They will need not just the luck of the genetic draw but also the strength to renounce the lure of fast-food days and couch-potato nights that add yards...
...years ago, Harvard researcher Dr. David Sinclair joined the growing ranks of scientists who believe that severely restricting calorie intake can slow down the aging process. Evidence for that surprising phenomenon emerged in the 1930s, when scientists learned that underfed rodents lived up to 40% longer than their well-fed counterparts. The results have since been duplicated in fruit flies, worms, monkeys and other lab animals. And preliminary research on humans suggests that some markers of aging--levels of blood glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol--improve on calorie-restriction (CR) diets...

My little girl, thanks to her vigilant mother, does not watch television (except for approved videos) or eat fast food (except when with her aunt) or drink soda pop (ditto) or use foul language.

At bedtime, with a little prompting, she bows her head and prays for people. Her teeth are clean and bright. Here I am, an old Democrat...
